New Website Ranks 600 Cryptocurrencies by Github Activity

From market cap to trading volume, there’s a lot of ways to assess and quantify cryptocurrencies. Traders evaluating new crypto projects are prone to diving deep in their quest to uncover diamonds in the rough. Github activity – the frequency with which the code governing cryptocurrencies is updated – provides a good indicator of which projects are still being cared for and which have been allowed to go to seed. Cryptomiso is a new website that logs and charts the Github commits for over 600 cryptos, and its top 10 contains a few surprises.

Github commit frequency shows that core code is being maintained, but it doesn’t show the quality of these updates. For example, a minor bug fix would be scored the same as adding Lightning Network support. As a broad indicator of a cryptocurrency’s developer support, however, Cryptomiso is a useful tool.
