TOP-10 AI & Big Data crypto projects by developer activity in January 2026 according to Santiment.
As always, the Notable GitHub Activity metric is the average number of significant development events per day on GitHub. #Santiment considers only meaningful GitHub events: real changes in code, infrastructure, and functionality. "Cosmetics", noise commits, and formal activity are maximally filtered out.
And here is who is currently the most active in working with code in the AI/Big Data segment:
- #Filecoin (#FIL) - 349.9,
- #Chainlink (#LINK) - 211.27,
- #InternetComputer (#ICP) - 200.67,
- #NEARProtocol (#NEAR) - 73.13,
- #OasisNetwork (#ROSE) - 33.5,
- #Livepeer (#LPT) - 26.83,
- #Swarms (#SWARMS) - 22.7,
- #TheGraph (#GRT) - 21.73,
- #Flux (#FLUX) - 21.53,
- #Alephim (#ALEPH) - 19.27.
What should be paid special attention to here:
1) Leader - FIL, and with a huge margin. The more significant this victory is, since in second place is LINK. Which usually is everywhere and always in first place. In August and September, FIL was not even in the TOP-10. However, in December, it ranked 5th with a score of 38.23. Now, it is in first place and commits are almost 10 times more. Are we waiting for important innovations?
2) ICP - in the TOP-3 along with a heavy pace. In December, September, August - at the same time, they were in first place.
3) Next comes a sharp break after the TOP-3. The values are already significantly lower - meaning the core activity is concentrated in a few large ecosystems, while the remaining ten are more like the "second line". FIL, LINK, and ICP - a powerful trio 👌
