In recent years, cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies have been gaining momentum, with more and more companies and individuals turning to blockchain for various purposes. As a result, there is a growing demand for web development services that specialize in building platforms based on cryptocurrency and blockchain. As we remember, 2017-2018, the active boom of cryptocurrencies, as well as high-profile falls like FTX and Luna, taught many investors to better immerse themselves in the study of the activities of leading blockchain teams. What factors should be considered when choosing cryptocurrencies as an investment instrument? In this part of the article, I propose to consider development activity as a key factor that helps to determine where the hype is and where work is being done on the blockchain and application tools for it. And so we drove! GitHub as a project activity vector As we all know that GitHub is a powerful tool for developers to collaborate and share code with each other. In the context of blockchain, it serves as a key indicator of a project's activity and development progress. As well as to show development and code transparency. By publicly sharing code and updates on a project's development, the community can see what is being worked on and hold the development team accountable for their progress. This level of transparency helps to build trust and credibility among the community and new investors. GitHub also provides a way for developers to easily collaborate and contribute to a project. This can lead to a more active and engaged community, which can help to drive the development and adoption of a blockchain project. Additionally, GitHub allows for easy integration with other tools, such as automated testing and continuous integration, which can help to improve the quality and reliability of a project. Another important aspect of GitHub is that it can be used to track the number of contributors and the amount of code being added to a project. This can provide insight into the health and growth of a project and can be used to compare the development progress of different blockchain projects. In summary, GitHub is an important project activity vector in blockchain because it provides transparency, and accountability, and facilitates collaboration and contributions. Tracking developer activity on GitHub can help to gauge the progress and health of a blockchain project, which can be an important factor when assessing the potential success of a project. What are the best GitHubs to follow in 2023-2024? As I described above, when choosing a project as an investment, you need to look not only at the team, but also at the activity of projects there. For example, I put together a list of Github projects that are most worth paying attention to (my own opinion): Ethereum 👉 https://github.com/ethereum Binance Smart Chain 👉 https://github.com/bnb-chain Everscale 👉 https://github.com/tonlabs Near Protocol 👉 https://github.com/near Avalanche 👉 https://github.com/ava-labs Cardano 👉 https://github.com/cardano-foundation Algorand 👉 https://github.com/algorand Сosmos 👉 https://github.com/cosmos Elrond 👉 https://github.com/ElrondNetwork Fantom 👉 https://github.com/Fantom-Foundation Dfinity 👉 https://github.com/dfinity Kusamana 👉 https://github.com/kusamanetwork Polkadot 👉 https://github.com/polkadot NEO 👉 https://github.com/neo-project Polygon 👉 https://github.com/maticnetwork TRON 👉 https://github.com/tronprotocol Zilliqa 👉 https://github.com/Zilliqa Aleph Zero 👉 https://github.com/aleph-zero-foundation VeChain 👉 https://github.com/vechain Mina Protocol 👉 https://github.com/MinaProtocol Smart Contract 👉 https://github.com/smartcontractkit Stellar 👉 https://github.com/stellar Flow Blockchain  👉 https://github.com/onflow EOS 👉 https://github.com/EOSIO Hedera 👉 https://github.com/hashgraph Waves 👉 https://github.com/wavesplatform Harmony 👉 https://github.com/harmony-one Qtum 👉 https://github.com/qtumproject Kadena 👉 https://github.com/kadena-io And so, if you track activity on GitHub among famous blockchains, you will always be aware of the latest developments and improvements made to the technology. This can help in making investment decisions, as well as give an idea of the direction in which a particular blockchain project is heading (whether it is worth investing in at all). In addition, tracking activity on GitHub can also give developers the opportunity to contribute to the project by submitting pull requests or reporting bugs (or avoid cyber victim attacks, that is really important for DeFi sector). In general, tracking activity on GitHub helps you stay as informed and involved as possible in the blockchain ecosystem. Remember, even if you don’t understand absolutely anything about it, you can always follow a relevant blogger on Twitter / YouTube and watch his analysis (only facts, without crypto soothsayers😂).
