In the last 12 months, the values of digital resources have decreased considerably, but behind the scenes the development of cryptocurrency has increased. Research from the data collection websites that track the amount of Github activity taking place in the cryptocurrency repositories shows that the development of blockchain continues to grow.

Github activities of cryptocurrency in 2018

Many projects that have lost more than 90% in value after their historical highs of 2017 still see considerable growth. Last January, news.Bitcoin.com reported on the site Cryptomiso, which measures Github's activities so that cryptocurrency supporters can classify and observe the development of their favorite project.
During the first month of 2018, the Cardano blockchain project (ADA) drove the package until the total repository was committed. According to Cryptomiso this year, the most important project with the highest number of commits is the platform block block Insolar (INS) with 7,289 commits in 2018. Following are 0x (7,098), Rchain (5,584), Tron (5,399), Eos (4.823), Zuesshield (4,362), Nuls (4,258), Republic (4,321), Zilliqa (4027) and Lisk (3,981).
Among the major currencies for market capitalization, each project has a different ranking based on Github's activities. BTC, or the reference client known as Bitcoin Core, had approximately 1,815 commits last year. The Go version of Ethereum (ETH) had approximately 989 commits itself according to data from Cryptomiso. However, this does not include the commits of Solidity, Mist, Ethereumj and many others that would carry that much higher number. Bitcoin Cash's ABC customer (BCH) committed 786 last year but this metric also does not include Bitprim, Unlimited, XT, BCHd, Copernicus and other commissions.
List of the most refined Github activity classifications
A data website called Coincodecap keeps track of all implementations by project. This way of looking at Github's activities is much wider. For example, Cardano (ADA) has over 45,000 commits in all its repositories made up of 16 different programming languages. The Augur, 0x, Ethereum and Lisk networks follow behind Cardano in the top five most actively developed blockchains in 2018. BTC has about 3,269 commits across all implementations, while BCH has a total of 988. Of course, a problem with Coincodecap data some of the commits are not protocol enhancements and could apply to things like website enhancements and other types of code changes to the infrastructure. The BSV project, the fork that was created on November 15 due to the blockchain BCH division, has seen a very small development since it was bifurcated six weeks ago with only two commit.
The number of commissions per project on an annual basis does not mean that one currency is better than the other, but enthusiasts who support certain cryptographic projects still like to follow all the developments that take place during the year. Cryptocurrency archives with very little added work may be worrying for supporters because the platform may no longer be actively developed and may be affected by the decomposition of the code. It should be noted that some of the information from Cryptomiso and Coincodecap show a number of contributors for each project and many of the contributors overlap due to bifurcated repositories.
Although the data is somewhat distorted, the rankings of these data sites can help investors and enthusiasts get useful insights. Followers who are tech savvy can even review the code changes recorded in real time. A cryptographic project monitoring page is simply another tool, just like the analysis sites that show metrics like price, trade volume, market capitalization and transactions per day.
