Santiment states its tracking method excludes routine updates. The firm employs a specific process to identify substantive GitHub activity, based on historical testing. Chainlink has consistently held the top position in Santiment’s RWA development rankings throughout this year. Its monthly activity count often substantially exceeds the project in second place.
ETHNews analysts frequently view high development activity as a positive indicator. Projects demonstrating consistent work may be closer to releasing new functions. This activity level also reduces concerns about potential exit scams, as sustained effort suggests ongoing commitment.
