The data analysis platform Santiment has just released a list of altcoins with the highest development team activity over the past 30 days, focusing on projects that connect or partially integrate with the Ethereum ecosystem.

The results show that Chainlink (LINK) far surpasses the rest, taking the number 1 position. The two names closely following are Status (SNT) and Ethereum (ETH) with impressive core development metrics.

Santiment emphasizes that these metrics reflect the technical foundation of the project, independent of short-term price volatility.

Top 10 standout altcoins and their development levels

The detailed list published by Santiment shows the diversity in the goals and application areas of the projects:

  • Chainlink (LINK) — 256.5

  • Status (SNT) — 80.63

  • Ethereum (ETH) — 73.87
