Internet Computer (ICP) Leads the Way: The Most Active Cryptos Based on GitHub Data for 6 Months

Cryptocurrency is a very dynamic industry where project advancement is one of the key markers for the sustainability of a project. Based on the GitHub data, Internet Computer (ICP) was identified as the project with 3138 commits and contributions from more than 100 developers.

Phoenix Group has published a list of the most active crypto projects for the last six months based on GitHub. Leading the list is Internet Computer (ICP), but names such as Bitcoin (BTC) and PancakeSwap (CAKE) are also on the list owing to their continued development activities.

The list was shared by a crypto enthusiast on Twitter, highlighting the top 10 most active crypto projects in terms of GitHub activity. Coming in first place is ICP with 3,138 commits and contributions from more than 100 developers. While ICP has seen a price depreciation of 5.9% in the last month, its continuous efforts to develop imply that ICP’s team and supporters are committed to adding new functionalities.

Next up is Sushi (SUSHI) in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space, with more than 2,100 commits accepted and 26 contributors. Similar to ICP, recently, Sushi has had a 5.9% price drop.

Following Sushi, the next project quite active in commits, has been Chainlink, which has 1,431 commits and over 100 contributions. A decentralized oracle is particularly helpful for linking smart contracts to the outside world, and Chainlink, which has surged by 5.5% over the past month, performs this job well.

Even being the oldest and one of the most stable cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin (BTC) is still one of the most actively developed, with 1,412 commits from 99 contributors. This can be explained by the fact that Bitcoin is still under development, and new solutions to make the system faster, more secure, and more sustainable are constantly being launched.

Coming in at fifth with 1,234 commits and contributions from over 100 developers, Mina Protocol (MINA) is known as the world’s lightest blockchain. As for the results of development activity, there are indications of stable interest in MINA: the project’s price rose by only 0.5% over the past month.

Cosmos (ATOM), which claims to be designed for interconnected blockchains, registered 1,119 commits and 99 contributors for its development. Despite Cosmo’s loss of 2.7% in value, its developer activity is still active, especially in establishing a blockchain link.

The decentralized cloud storage solution, Storj (STORJ), has garnered interest with 1,023 commits and contributions by more than 100 developers. Storj recently saw a price rise of 16.0%; it shows a rising market demand for decentralized storage as more and more people look for safer and cheaper cloud storage.

Finally, automated market maker PancakeSwap (CAKE) on the Binance Smart Chain had 764 commits from more than 100 contributors. Despite a 5.5% price drop, PancakeSwap enjoys DeFi popularity thanks to low fees and high yields.
