- Chainlink tops Ethereum-linked dev activity with 318+ GitHub events, while Starknet and EigenLayer show mixed price reactions.
- Status and Liquidity outperform peers in daily gains, proving technical progress isn’t always tied to price stagnation.
- Axelar and Synthetix posted losses despite strong development, showing a clear disconnect between building and price momentum.
Development across Ethereum-linked ecosystems remains active, with Chainlink and Starknet leading. Still, price action split sharply among top projects this week.
Chainlink Maintains Technical Dominance as Price Holds Steady
Chainlink recorded the highest number of notable GitHub events over the past 30 days, totaling 318.67. According to a post by Santiment, this firmly secures its place as the most actively developed Ethereum-associated project.
Starknet followed with 245.83 events, although its token experienced downside pressure. Ethereum ranked third with 136.97 events, reinforcing its foundational role within the ecosystem despite a marginal 0.14% gain.
This pattern continues to unfold as expected, reinforcing earlier reads on the trend. EigenLayer trailed closely behind with 131.3 GitHub events, showing consistent momentum despite posting a negative daily price shift.
Broader Ecosystem Activity Reflects Strategy Diversification
Recent movements in the sector have reshaped priorities. Decentraland came in fifth with 122.23 events, though it dipped 0.55% to $0.26339. Meanwhile, Axelar registered 105.33 events while logging a 0.81% price drop.
Status ranked seventh with 97.4 events and led the field in daily performance, rising 1.98% to $0.026685. Such shifts are prompting firms to recalibrate strategies across DeFi and Layer 2 segments.
According to Santiment, both sUSD and Synthetix recorded 90.43 events. While Synthetix fell by 0.85%, sUSD held flat, reflecting a stabilizing pattern in synthetic asset platforms.
Price Divergence Highlights Strength Beyond Hype
Momentum is building, and some expect the next leg up could redefine resistance levels. Liquidity, the tenth-ranked project, logged 83.07 GitHub events and a 2.26% daily price gain, signaling outlier strength.
Conversely, EigenLayer, Starknet, and Axelar continue facing short-term pressure despite their solid development footprint. This reflects a larger trend playing out across several key areas. Even after recent gains, a pullback remains possible if sentiment fades. Projects with strong development continue leading, driven by consistency, not hype.
Chainlink trades at $13.43, maintaining a 0.47% daily gain. Ethereum remains near $3,150. Liquity sits at $1.74, while Synthetix holds below $1.35. Status leads performance with nearly 2% growth.
