Santiment, a blockchain analysis platform, has announced that two Ethereum (ETH) rivals have surpassed Cardano (ADA) in a significant area. Will the smart contract platform Cardano lose its popularity?
Striking Report from Santiment!
According to Santiment’s new blog post, Polkadot (DOT) and the popular altcoin Kusama (KSM) have made more progress than Cardano on the development platform GitHub in the last thirty days. Santiment stated the following:
Polkadot and Kusama, with Cardano falling behind them once again in terms of development speed after Cardano surpassed them earlier this summer, currently make up many of the usual suspects in this top 10 ranking.
However, both Polkadot and Kusama led all other cryptocurrencies with 570.1 commits on GitHub in the last 30 days. Cardano ranked third with 548.77 GitHub commits in the last 30 days.
