Santiment, a cryptocurrency analysis firm, has recently published its latest rankings of AI-focused altcoins based on developer activity over the past month.
These rankings are determined by monitoring code contributions on open-source platforms like Github, where developers actively work on the projects.
For the second consecutive month, Near (NEAR) topped the list, maintaining its position as the most actively developed AI altcoin. However, there were significant changes for other altcoins in the rankings.
The company’s developer scores reflect which projects are receiving the most attention from the developer community within the AI crypto space.
In addition to Near, The Graph (GRT) secured the second spot, followed by Bittensor (TAO) in third. Oasis Network (ROSE) saw a decline in its position compared to the previous month, as did Ocean Protocol (OCEAN), which dropped significantly down the list.
Despite these shifts, the overall trend in the AI altcoin market has been positive. During the recent cryptocurrency market upswing, all ten of the top AI altcoins saw value increases over the last week, reflecting growing interest in these projects.
