Ethereum News Today: Chainlink Leads Ethereum Ecosystem Development for 10th Consecutive Month

Chainlink has retained the top position in Ethereum ecosystem development activity for the consecutive month, according to analytics platforms such as Santiment and Sanbase. The project outperformed Ethereum itself and other Layer 2 solutions like Starknet, which secured second place [1]. Santiment’s August 11, 2025 report highlights Chainlink’s sustained leadership based on non-trivial GitHub activity, which filters out routine actions and emphasizes engineering effort and long-term project focus [2].

This ranking reflects the ongoing commitment of Chainlink to robust development and integration across the Ethereum network. Santiment noted that high development activity typically correlates with strong long-term fundamentals, a pattern Chainlink has consistently demonstrated [2]. Starknet, while trailing behind, also showed significant on-chain progress, particularly in engineering and scalability efforts, indicating continued support from StarkWare and its roadmap for expansion [3].

The sustained GitHub activity of both projects suggests a focus on long-term innovation, with Chainlink emphasizing secure interoperability and Starknet advancing scalability solutions [2]. These efforts align with broader trends in the Ethereum ecosystem, where Layer 2 solutions are increasingly recognized for their potential to reduce costs and improve transaction throughput [4]. Despite the development momentum, however, no direct correlation has been observed between these rankings and immediate price movements [5].

Chainlink’s price remains relatively stable around $21.70, below the $24 level that some analysts view as a potential breakout point [5]. Meanwhile, Starknet continues to attract capital inflows, driven by demand for its Layer 2 capabilities. Both projects are positioned to play central roles in Ethereum’s evolution, but their long-term success will depend on broader adoption and the implementation of real-world use cases.
