$ADA
The Cardano network has reached a historic milestone: the activity of its core developers has surpassed that of Ethereum over the past year.
According to data from the Cryptometheus platform, the ecosystem co-founded by Charles Hoskinson and Jeremy Wood in 2015 has recorded 21,447 commits in the last 12 months.
Before continuing, it is important to explain that commits are records of changes made to a project's code. Each one represents a modification, correction, or improvement that a developer saves in a repository, such as GitHub. They are a way to measure the activity and pace of development of a project, as they reflect how frequently its source code is updated or worked on.
The Cardano network has demonstrated a high level of technical activity, with over 550 key repositories and 37 projects in active development.
Among the 12 main projects are the most relevant developments, although activity is not limited to them: developer participation extends to more than 4,200 linked repositories across the network.
Increased developer participation indicates that more people are building on the network, which drives both adoption and the development of new use cases.
Moreover, an active technical community tends to improve the quantity, quality, and interoperability of decentralized applications (dApps) and decentralized finance (DeFi) solutions that integrate into the ecosystem.
However, having surpassed Ethereum in this metric has not translated into a clear impact on the price of Cardano (ADA), the native currency of the ecosystem, which has generated some frustration within its community.
