<p>New data from Santiment shows a clear acceleration in developer activity across AI and Big Data–focused crypto projects, with Internet Computer (ICP), Chainlink (LINK), and NEAR Protocol emerging as the strongest leaders.</p> 
<p>Over the past 30 days, these three ecosystems recorded the highest number of notable GitHub events, signaling sustained momentum in protocol upgrades, infrastructure improvements, and long-term technical investment from their developer communities.</p> 
<p>Internet Computer leads by a wide margin, posting a developer activity score near 297, while Chainlink follows closely with over 292. NEAR remains firmly in third place with more than 114 notable events. The concentration of activity at the top suggests that foundational AI and data-centric platforms are entering a period of rapid technical expansion and competitive iteration.</p>

<h3 id="oasis-filecoin-livepeer-and-recall-form-the-next-wave-of-growth">Oasis, Filecoin, Livepeer, and Recall Form the Next Wave of Growth</h3> 
<p>Beyond the leaders, a strong second tier of projects is reinforcing the sector’s rise. Oasis Network, Filecoin, Livepeer, and Recall all displayed meaningful development progress, each contributing to their respective niches within the AI and data economy. Oasis continues to push privacy-enhancing frameworks that support machine learning, while Filecoin’s developer contributions reflect ongoing upgrades tied to storage efficiency and decentralized compute initiatives.</p> 
<p>Livepeer’s work around decentralized video infrastructure and Recall’s notable uptick in both development and market performance show how diverse the AI-focused landscape has become. This broader participation suggests the sector is evolving far beyond chatbot narratives and toward infrastructure layers capable of supporting real computational workloads.</p>

<h3 id="the-graph-iexec-and-injective-strengthen-the-ecosystem-s-foundation">The Graph, iExec, and Injective Strengthen the Ecosystem’s Foundation</h3> 
<p>Rounding out the top ten are The Graph, iExec, and Injective—three established projects that continue to fortify key components of the AI and Big Data stack. The Graph’s indexing updates, iExec’s confidential compute enhancements, and Injective’s interoperability and execution-layer developments all highlight the sector’s shift toward reliable, scalable underpinnings. Their consistent developer output indicates that the ecosystem is maturing in a way that enables enterprises, applications, and AI protocols to operate more efficiently.</p> 
<h3 id="a-signal-of-growing-industry-priorities">A Signal of Growing Industry Priorities</h3> 
<p>Taken together, the data underscores a broader market shift: AI-driven crypto infrastructure is rapidly becoming one of the most actively developed segments in the industry. As blockchain networks race to provide storage, computation, privacy, interoperability, and real-time data feeds, developer activity has become a leading indicator of which ecosystems are most likely to shape the next generation of on-chain AI applications.</p>
