A Santiment analysis has highlighted the altcoins with the highest development activity within the Solana ecosystem over the past month. Based on GitHub code contributions, the ranking shows that Solana’s native token, SOL, leads in development activity. Other projects receiving significant attention include Pyth Network (PYTH), Wormhole (W), Neon (NEON), and Swarms (SWARMS).
Notably, projects such as Drift (DRIFT) and Jito (JTO) have experienced growth in their development, while tokens based on Metaplex (MPLX) and Helium have recorded a decline. Despite their growing presence in the Solana ecosystem, memecoins failed to make the list, indicating that developer efforts are focused on infrastructure- and utility-oriented projects rather than speculative assets.
