- Assets like Cardano (ADA), Polkadot (DOT), and Kusama Network (KSM) have claimed the top three spots over the past month.
As the cryptocurrency market eased into the third quarter of the year, investors and traders are on the lookout for some of the most promising assets at this time. Aside from Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency by market cap, market players are always seeking out high-performing altcoins.
In a recent post shared to the X platform, a leading crypto analytics firm has listed the highest-performing altcoins in terms of development activities. Notably,
Developer activities on GitHub often highlight the number of projects currently being developed on the network. In addition, an increase in development activity also speaks to the level of confidence that investors have in a project, its credibility, its position in the market, and its long-term potential.
As depicted in Santiment’s list, the ten leading assets with the highest developer activity recorded over the last 30 days all have at least $1 billion in market cap. The top five include Cardano (ADA), Polkado (DOT), Kusama (KSM), Hedera (HBAR), and Aptos (APT).

Watch out for the top dogs ADA, DOT, and KSM
As shown in Santiment’s chart, Cardano dethroned every other token to claim the first spot, as the asset with the highest development activities surging up to as high as 502.57. It bears mentioning that ADA has also had a bullish run over the last month. Securing more than 33% in monthly gains, ADA is the second best-performing altcoin in the top ten categories. With more than an 18% surge in weekly earnings, ADA now trades for $0.34.
Right beside ADA is Polkadot (DOT) with 484.23 development activities. ADA now holds an overall ranking of 14. Similar to Cardano (ADA), DOT is also performed decently in the crypto market. Weekly and monthly gains are currently sitting at 10.5% and 19.2% respectively. At report time, DOT is valued at $4.87.
Taking the third spot is the Kusama’s network KSM token. Although Kusama ranks significantly lower than Polkadot in overall developer activities, both networks recorded a total of 484.23 in development activity over the last month. The live Kusama price today is $25.60 with a 24-hour trading volume of $30,177,088.
Fundamentally, the aforementioned metrics position these assets as some of the most attractive digital assets for institutional players. However, the likes of ADA, DOT, and KSM are all primed for a bullish rally in the long term if developer activities continue to rise at this pace.
