Cardano Dominates Blockchain Development by Git Commits

Cardano was the most actively developed coin in 2018 by GitHub commits.

The report showed that Cardano has been the most actively developed cryptocurrency in 2018.

According to Money Control, Cardano received more than 46,000 commits to its code repositories during 2018, meaning that its core code was added to and revised 46,000 times.

The second most developed coin of the year, with around 22,000 commits, was Augur, the 48th in the most valued cryptocurrencies list.

The most recent data coming from CoinCodeCap showed that being the most valuable or the most frequently traded coin doesn't necessarily mean that it is the most developed one.

The more commits a cryptocurrency has, the more changes have been made to the entire project.

According to a CoinCodeCap developer, every commit has a unique ID that allows developers to keep a transparent record of all the changes made.

Others see Cardano as a clear example of how cryptocurrencies should be developed.

Gaurav Agrawal of CoinMonks said tech development should always precede value creation and adoption in the development path of a coin.

Even though Cardano was the most git-committed project of 2018, it still lost around 95% of the market-cap in 2018, which is a bigger loss than faced by top coins like bitcoin, ether and XRP. Furthermore, Git commits can are gameable-a developer can make trivial changes over and over to inflate the score.
