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.
