Internet Computer (ICP) Takes the Crown: ETH and ADA Left in the Dust! 😂💻

by

Hold onto your keyboards, folks! The Internet Computer has officially claimed the top spot in the Development Activity metric, leaving Ethereum (ETH) and Cardano (ADA) wondering what just hit them. Spoiler alert: it’s not a new meme coin! 🎉

Internet Computer: The Overachiever of the Crypto World

In a recent post on X (formerly known as Twitter, because who doesn’t love a good rebranding?), the analytics firm Santiment revealed that the Internet Computer is the reigning champ in the Development Activity metric. This fancy term measures how much work developers are putting into their public GitHub repositories. You know, the place where all the cool kids hang out. 😎

So, what’s an ‘event’ you ask? It’s when a developer does anything remotely productive on the repository—like pushing a commit, creating an issue, or even just staring at the screen and contemplating life. Deep stuff, right?

Now, here’s the kicker: the metric doesn’t just count commits because many projects are like that one friend who copies your homework but doesn’t actually do any of the work. Forks inherit commits from their parent projects, but that doesn’t mean they’re doing anything new. So, every time a project forks, it’s like hitting the reset button on their productivity score. One event for the fork, and all past glory is left behind. Talk about a harsh reality check! 😬

And now, drumroll please… here’s the table shared by Santiment showing the top 10 cryptocurrencies in this indicator over the last month:

As you can see, the Internet Computer is flexing hard with a Development Activity score of 557.7. Chainlink (LINK) is in second place, trying to keep up with a score of 370.8, while Starknet (STRK) is in third with 260.6. Meanwhile, Cardano, despite its larger market cap, is sitting in fourth place with a score of 238.63. And Ethereum? Oh, bless its heart—it’s in last place with a score of just 185.73. Ouch! 😳

So, what does this all mean? A high Development Activity score suggests that the developers are actually committed to their project. It’s like saying, “Hey, we’re not just here for a quick cash grab; we’re in it for the long haul!” But let’s be real, just because they’re working hard doesn’t mean the price will skyrocket overnight. Patience is a virtue, my friends! ⏳

ICP Price Update

As of now, the Internet Computer is hovering around $5.26, which is down over 10% this past week. So, if you were hoping to buy low and sell high, you might want to rethink your strategy. 📉
