Polkadot ($dot), a blockchain network often described as a "blockchain of blockchains," kept its position as the leading cryptocurrency network through development activity. It is attended by its network of pre-production kusama and the platform of intelligent contract cardano ($ada).

Based on data shared by the healthcare chain analytics firm, Development activity of polkadot, with the one from his kusama pre-production network, during the past 30 days has been higher than that of all other networks in the cryptocurrency ecosystem.

Development activity, it’s worth noting, is a metric measuring the development activity in projects’ public GitHub repositories, and does not include private repositories’ work.

Santiment tracks development events instead of just GitHub commits, as according to the firm its methodology “successfully avoids” specific pitfalls, which for example include projects forking others to “inherit” their commits and contributions.

An "event" refers to actions on the platform such as pressing a commit, creating a problem, creating an extraction query, switching the repository, and others.

A simple tally of total commits would not properly reflect the activity of a developer that created a fork, given that they would not be responsible for the work carried out by the originating team. With the metric "events" of healthfulness, a fork counts as an event.

With the "events" metric from Santiment, a fork counts for an event. Cardano finished third with Internet Computer ($ICP), Decentraland ($MANA), Ethereum ($ETH) and Cosmos ($ATOM).

Status ($SNT), Vega Protocol ($VEGA), and Filecoin ($FIL) reached the top 10 as well. The main polkadot blockchain, called relay chain, does not support intelligent contracts. 

Other blockchain connected to it may support them. As a result, polkadot should become a growing cryptocurrency ecosystem that rivals other smart contract networks such as ethereum, the bnb channel, and more.

It was launched in 2020 and provides a number of technical functionalities that help it achieve its objective. DOT holders can stake their tokens to vote on network upgrades and help decide the future of Polkadot by actively participating in its governance, according to CryptoCompare.
