Crypto Dev Activity
Price tells you what the market thinks. Dev activity tells you whether the underlying project is actually being built. We track 20 core repos across major chains + L2s + DeFi primitives, rank them by 7-day commit count + star count, and show the last push date. Numbers straight from GitHub's keyless public API, refreshed every 6 hours.

What the score means
- Score = 40 × (stars / 100k, capped) + 60 × (commits_7d / 100, capped).
- Tilts toward active development · stars alone can be a legacy signal.
- > 60 · very active. 35-60 · healthy. 15-35 · maintenance. < 15 · quiet.
Some ecosystems split work across many repos (Solana, Ethereum L2s). A low commit count on one repo doesn't mean the chain is dead · cross-check by visiting the owner's GitHub org.
