 <p class="paragraph">A valuable part of the fundamental analysis of the cryptocurrency market is to follow the project’s live development activity. Think of that as being able to sit in an R&amp;D room of the companies you are looking to buy some stocks.</p> 
 <div></div> 
 <p class="paragraph">This is possible because most projects are being built as open-source software, which means their development is public information that can be watched, and used with other data — such as the market capitalization — for unique insights. The largest platform for open-source development is GitHub.</p> 
 <p class="paragraph">In this context, <strong>Finbold</strong> collected results shared by the developer Lukas Masuch in a GitHub repository, ranking 62 projects in the category ‘Smart Contract Platforms’, in order to find out which have the best score according to Masuch’s index.</p>

 </blockquote> 
 <p class="paragraph">Not surprisingly, the highest score goes to Ethereum (ETH), the leading <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="smart" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/smart.html">smart</a> <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="contract" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/contract.html">contract</a> platform by market cap, and the second largest among all other <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a>currencies.

 <p class="paragraph">ETH scores 53 according to Masuch’s methodology, with over 230,000 stars, given by GitHub users as an indicator that they liked the open-source project. Ethereum’s score is even higher than Bitcoin (BTC), as shown in this previous report.</p> 
 <p class="paragraph">Interestingly, with a $191.70 billion market cap by press time, ETH has $833 dollars for each star.</p> 
 <p class="paragraph">Polkadot (DOT), a layer-zero blockchain, gets second place with a score of 46 and 37,000 stars. Considering its $4.92 billion market cap, DOT has $133 dollars for each star.</p> 
 <p class="paragraph">Solana (SOL) comes in third, with 45 points and 23,000 stars, resulting in $349 dollars for each star, with SOL’s $8.04 billion market cap.</p> 
 <p class="paragraph">Notably, the higher the result on the ‘market cap/stars’ division, the more overbought a cryptocurrency is according to this market indicator.</p> 
 <p class="paragraph">Cardano (ADA) scores 40 points with 15,000 stars, coming above Chia (XCH) in the fifth position with 37 points, and 13,000 stars.</p> 
 <p class="paragraph">ADA has a $8.64 billion market cap, resulting in around $576 per star, while XCH is the one with the remarkably lower market capitalization, despite its developing activity fundamentals, with $231 million, resulting in around $17 dollars per star — being the most oversold crypto according to this metric.</p>
