In the cryptocurrency world, Cardano (ADA) has emerged as the reigning leader in developer activity, surpassing its closest rival Ethereum (ETH) and other leading layer-1 (L1) protocols.
Cardano (ADA) Outperforms Ethereum (ETH) in Developer Activities
Proof-of-Stake (PoS) layer-1 blockchain protocol Cardano (ADA) solidified its leading position by racking up an impressive total of 978,780 commits on GitHub between March 11-17.
This significant figure puts Cardano well ahead of Ethereum, which recorded 407,170 commitments in the same time frame.
The comparison doesn't end there. ITB's data also sheds light on the performance of other major L1 protocols such as Avalanche (AVAX), Litecoin (LTC) and Tron (TRX).
While these platforms also witnessed significant developer activity over the past week, they were left pale in the face of Cardano's strong participation. Avalanche collected 315,770 pledges, while Litecoin and Tron followed with 84,110 and 79,380 pledges respectively.
According to market experts, the volume of developer activity often serves as a barometer for a protocol's potential.
Higher commit numbers mean an increase in decentralized applications (dApps) in development, as well as updates and enhancements to existing ones, further increasing the overall resilience of the protocol.
Despite bullish data on GitHub, Cardano's price does not reflect this enthusiasm. ADA, which has been struggling to get back on its feet since April 2022, has consistently remained below the $1 level.
