Chainlink is setting the pace in crypto’s real-world asset (RWA) space, with recent data revealing it’s far outpacing competitors in developer activity.
According to analytics firm Santiment, Chainlink has recorded over 530 major GitHub updates in the past month—nearly double that of Avalanche, its closest competitor in the RWA category. Stellar followed in third place, trailing even further behind.
This isn’t a one-time spike. Chainlink has consistently topped Santiment’s development leaderboard throughout the year, reflecting deep technical commitment to expanding its ecosystem.
What sets these metrics apart is Santiment’s approach: rather than tracking basic code maintenance, their method filters for meaningful development events using a refined, backtested system. That kind of sustained coding momentum, the firm suggests, signals strong confidence among developers and minimizes the risk of project abandonment.
Despite a slight dip in price—LINK is currently trading just under $15.60—Chainlink’s strong builder engagement remains a key sign of long-term strength in the RWA sector, even as broader markets fluctuate.
According to new insights from market intelligence platform Santiment, development activity in the crypto sector’s AI and Big Data segment remains strong, with several major projects showing notable GitHub activity over the past 30 days.
The XRP Ledger (XRPL) has officially launched its Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) sidechain on mainnet — marking a major milestone in its effort to bridge XRP’s payment efficiency with Ethereum’s smart contract capabilities.
The U.S. House of Representatives has taken a major step toward digital asset regulation by passing the Deploying American Blockchains Act of 2025.
According to a new report by Santiment, Chainlink ($LINK) has maintained its dominant position as the most actively developed DeFi project over the past 30 days.
