New data from market intelligence platform Santiment reveals that development in the artificial intelligence (AI) and big data segments of the crypto sector remains robust. Several major projects have demonstrated remarkable GitHub activity over the past 30 days—an encouraging sign for long-term viability and innovation.
Santiment uses a methodology that filters meaningful GitHub events from public repositories to rank projects by genuine engineering progress, rather than superficial updates or marketing-driven changes. This ranking offers traders and investors insight into which ecosystems are advancing technically.
Internet Computer (ICP) leads the list with an impressive 431.3 significant GitHub events in the last month. As a blockchain focused on decentralized cloud computing and AI infrastructure, ICP continues to set the pace for innovation in this space.
Following ICP are NEAR Protocol (NEAR) with 93.03 events and Filecoin (FIL) with 69.4 events. Both are essential players in decentralized storage and computation, reflecting strategic infrastructure development rather than speculative hype.
Top 10 AI & Big Data crypto projects by GitHub developer activity:
- Internet Computer (ICP)
- NEAR Protocol (NEAR)
- Filecoin (FIL)
- Injective (INJ)
- The Graph (GRT)
- Oasis Protocol (ROSE)
- iExec RLC (RLC)
- Livepeer (LPT)
- Bittensor (TAO)
- Flux (FLUX)
This level of activity indicates developer interest, commitment to long-term roadmaps, and growing institutional confidence in these protocols. In AI and data-driven blockchain sectors, where applications like decentralized inference, compute marketplaces, and data indexing are crucial, meaningful code updates often precede market momentum shifts.
Despite overall market volatility, platforms like ICP, NEAR, and The Graph (GRT) continue integrating AI with blockchain technology—positioning themselves at the forefront of future Web3 infrastructure.
