It looks like the Cardano developer team is hard at work with new releases. I've been following the developer section of the Cardano forum and its one of the most active I've seen in recent times! I think this is the kind of consistent development that other teams needs to emulate. It's not just about conducting ICOs and IEOs but can't deliver the platform as discussed in RoadMaps. Kudos to the Cardano team. I wonder why it doesn't reflect in the price of ADA though.

Cardano and Ethereum close to each other, not that far.
I've read people thought that Ethereum's dev don't do anything and the price was dropping because of their less activity. But, if this graph turns to be true then this is the answer to their question and idea of them not being active recently.

That is a wrong impressions, they are working hard with 2.0 and the whole staking and DeFi thingy.

The drop of the price? It's because we entered the bear market, and those who thought that Ethereum dev's are not doing anything is just a pure hater. Cardano as well, working hard from behind, but it doesn't reflect on the price, which makes me think that only a bull run can really push the price of the altcoin market, just saying.

Developer aactivity is a good metric to find out the active coin as per developer but it will get one nothing. I see some coins which are very active in git but in reality they are very worse coin, can you believe that? A coin ranked around 700+ in CMC but ranked around 50 in git activity, does that mean the coin has a good future because their developer are active very much?

Because the Altcoin hype is gone and investors/speculators realized that Bitcoin remains the main coin that moves the entire crypto market. The price of most alts that we are seeing right now is probably what it's price should be if 2017 to early 2018 pump didn't happen.

~ does that mean the coin has a good future because their developer are active very much?

I guess it still depends on what the activity is. Git activity is just one of the many factors to consider and it does not necessarily mean they are good or they have a bright future.

For example, if the project has a poor use case and the dev team insists on pushing that, what you get is a shit project with active devs. It would be a different thing if the dev team keeps on working and adding something new that will make the coin/token really useful.

It's kinda difficult now, even how the developer activities are high, but they have a lack of a market cap, it's still useless.
Second, how important or valuable the activities of those developers? Since it's kinda difficult to prove the activities of them, where are they based? Line changes on codes? Or number of commits? The number of pull requests?
And you are right, there are some quality project but market cap or ranked is way too far, while there are some projects that got huge market cap but the project is trash.

Damn, cardano team aren't slowing down at all, that's a good thing, also very encouraging for new investors too, the best way to know how good a project will be is the activity of the teams

[nienzer]

I dont think that commit quantity is mean anything

[Ucy]

Interesting.
Seems only three cryptocoins have Market Cap that are higher than Developers Activities(Ethereum, EOS & Stellar). What could this mean then?
Do you factor in the developers of Ethereum, EOS (and probably stellar) dapps or just core developers of the three cryptocurrencies?

That means the effort that has already made by those projects has already valued by the community. You must see that in our real-life too when there was a company with a good project that is used widely and it can achieve a huge market capitalization instantly. I guess it's not good to think about the possibility of bad speculation. You can even take some good companies as an example too.

[gensol]

Seems ADA, Eth, Eos Ark and Rep had the highest developer activities. Can you please break it down to every 30 days it might help in price forecast seeing the level of development activity going on on a monthly basis can make people buy into the token.

[Nalbo]

Cardano is certainly the dark horse of side chain ecosystem. They have a large number of developer working for them and they release the development notes weekly. https://cardanoroadmap.com/en/status-updates/
Ethereum is also the most active platform but the news of Casperlabs looking to create a independent blockchain could have hurt and made the development quite uncertain.

[Pffrt]

Agreed. Look at DeepOnion. They have quite a good standing in github with small developments all the time and have a standing of 70 in activity. But they have only a few thousand volumes, no more demand in the market, none of real usage so far although they have some working product on hand. So, what does that mean? Nothing.

[beerlover]

Cardano developers are not really hiding this fact, they have been like this forever and they have been like this from the start and they have been developing it left and right, check out each month since they started and you would basically see that every single month they have started is the month they are the most developing coin ever.

However the thing is we are talking about a coin that basically all developed by coders and there are no marketing, sure there could be some but they are not really the leading in charge type there, so they are not really marketing it as well as they should, they could have spent some more money on marketing and they could get the price a lot higher. ADA is just purely a coder coin that is developed for other coders as well.

EOS with a $2 billion market capitalization is behind Harmony with a $10 million one? That's absolutely god damn pathetic.

It's quite clear by now that EOS is massively overhyped. The account system and resource allocation system is so unintuitive it's crazy. Plus, the bullshit misconception that transactions are free on EOS is extremely misleading, since people actually need to pay for resources just to use the platform.

No wonder EOS has been leaking dapps to other platforms. It'll drop out of the top 10 soon enough.

That's how people react and price becomes the basis of the activity of devs for specific coins like Ethereum and other notable altcoins too. Yes, it's a wrong impression but usually, investors have the same thought as for their investments and we can't stop them thinking like that.
Because if we are in their shoe, we might think of the same thing. And with such validations and graphs like this, this verifies that they're really working hard to implement what they have to implement.

From all that projects with high Developer Activity HArmony ( ONE) having the lowest marketcap. And this is one of my favourite alt at the moment that i am trying to buy when I am having some funds.

[aemma]

It shows that ADA team are trying their best and it is but a matter of time for the results to start taking place, although their market cap isn't that much but at least everyone can see that the Dev team aren't idle. Ethereum on the other hand shows it's the best altcoin, with a good market cap as well as Dev activity closer to that of ADA is something worth commending. In general, I can say all the project team are trying their best to remain relevant and stay ahead of others, this is also one of the reasons why they are better than a good number of projects.
