- Chainlink has grown to become a market favorite, driven by its rise in development activity.
- LINK is expanding in adoption as top institutions use the protocol to solve real-world problems.
Chainlink (LINK) has become a leader in crypto development. Recently, Chainlink outperformed Ethereum (ETH) in GitHub activity, leading to an 8% LINK rally in just a day.
Chainlink Beats Ethereum in Development Activity
According to data from the onchain analytics provider Santiment, Chainlink has surpassed Ethereum in development activity over the past month. The Development Activity metric measures a project’s number of commits in its GitHub repositories.
Chainlink came second in the number of notable GitHub events, while ETH came far behind, taking the 8th spot.
Chainlink is well-recognized as a leading Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization infrastructure provider. Hence, LINK’s latest achievement in GitHub events shows ongoing innovation and suggests progress for the Chainlink network.
The Chainlink protocol has become a sought-after solution for solving real-world problems. In a recent X post, Chainlink founder Sergey Nazarov highlighted three solutions deployed to remove bottlenecks in the next generation of smart contracts for institutional transactions.

These include releasing critical data to ascertain the price of an asset, connecting multiple chains for value transfer, and ensuring adequate compliance. Nazarov cited a complex transaction involving Fidelity International and ANZ, executed within the HKMA’s regulatory framework. He argued that Chainlink’s contribution to these projects is a sign of the value the network brings.
In a recent study we reported on, a crypto influencer and investors also hailed Chainlink as a dominating blockchain ecosystem. He highlighted five reasons why Chainlink transcends a blockchain oracle network. According to the investor, Chainlink has become the universal standard and secure layer that connects isolated blockchain ecosystems.
Chainlink collaborations in the blockchain space also helped to strengthen its rise to prominence. As featured in our recent coverage, Chainlink allied with the Global Synchronizer Foundation (GSF). Through this collaboration, Chainlink seeks to shape the future of institutional-grade interoperable blockchain applications.
LINK Price Powers Up
The LINK cryptocurrency is currently benefiting from Chainlink’s increased appeal among retail and institutional investors. As of this writing, the LINK price surge has increased by over 8.5% in the last 24 hours to trade for $15.35. The market cap is approximately $10 billion, with a daily trading volume of $542 million.
As we covered in our latest report, LINK could revisit its May 29 high of $16 if the ongoing momentum continues. Further upsides may lead LINK to challenge its weekly resistance at $19. However, a pullback could push the price down toward the support level at $12.
For now, LINK is enjoying the attention of the market, fueled by an increased development activity. Moreover, the technical setup looks suitable for LINK. Together with its strong developer community, the future of the Chainlink ecosystem appears bright.
