Ah, the decentralized oracle network Chainlink (LINK), that cheeky little rascal, continues to reign supreme in the crypto realm, particularly in the rather posh sector of real-world assets (RWA), as reported by the ever-watchful analytics firm, Santiment. One can almost hear the trumpets blaring in celebration!
In a recent post on the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter, but who’s counting?), Santiment revealed that our dear Chainlink has racked up a staggering 532.43 notable GitHub events in the past 30 days. Yes, you read that right—532.43! I suppose they must have been counting half events, perhaps a GitHub event that was just a tad shy of being noteworthy. 🤔
This figure is not just a smidgen above the competition; it leaves the second-ranked RWA project, the layer-1 blockchain Avalanche (AVAX), in the dust with its paltry 290.87 GitHub events. And let’s not even get started on the peer-to-peer payments project Stellar (XLM), which limps in at third place with a mere 240.7. One might say it’s a bit like comparing a grand piano to a kazoo! 🎹
Chainlink has been perched atop Santiment’s list all year, often clocking in multiple times the number of GitHub events as its nearest rival. It’s as if Chainlink is the Usain Bolt of the crypto world, while the others are still tying their shoelaces.
Santiment, in its infinite wisdom, assures us that it doesn’t count routine updates and employs a “better methodology” to gather data for GitHub events, based on a “backtested process.” One can only imagine the rigorous testing involved—perhaps a committee of owls in spectacles poring over spreadsheets? 🦉
The analytics firm has previously opined that a flurry of development activity around a crypto project is a splendid sign, suggesting that the developers are convinced the protocol will be a roaring success. It also implies that the project is less likely to be an exit scam, which is always a bonus in this unpredictable world of digital currencies.
As for Chainlink’s native token, LINK, it’s currently trading at $15.58. The 16th-ranked crypto asset by market cap has taken a bit of a tumble, down nearly 7% in the past 24 hours, but fear not! It’s managed to claw back a smidgen, up more than 1% in the past week. A true rollercoaster of emotions! 🎢
