Cardano (ADA), which was called a ghost chain for years, has made a major push and surpassed Ethereum (ETH) in core developer activity. This raises expectations that a rally is imminent for ADA. According to data from developer tracking platform Cryptometheus, Cardano core developer activity has surpassed Ethereum and taken the top spot in the past year. According to the data, Cardano has shown strong developer activity on GitHub with 21,439 GitHub commits across 550 core repositories in 12 months, moving it into first place, surpassing Ethereum. While 12 core projects have emerged on the Cardano network, 36 projects are seen being built on a broader scale. In the face of glowing Cardano metrics, Ethereum fell short, settling for second place after ADA. According to the data, Ethereum became the second altcoin to show strong developer activity on GitHub after Cardano, with 20,962 GitHub commits across 278 core repositories in 12 months. After Cardano and Ethereum, Internet Computer (ICP), FLOW, Arbitrum (ARB), MultiversX (EGLD), Stacks (STX), Polkadot (DOT) Cosmos (ATOM) and Chainlink (LINK) took the ranking. As Ethereum lags behind Cardano in developer activity, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson claims that ETH could collapse and disappear within 15 years. Hoskinson cited Ethereum’s outdated technology, layer 2 fragmentation, and reduced developer activity as indicators of its decline and collapse. *This is not investment advice.
