According to Santiment, the top 10 DeFi projects by development activity include Chainlink (LINK) leading the list, followed by DeepBook (DEEP) and DeFiChain (DFI). Other notable projects such as Lido Finance (LDO) and Uniswap (UNI) have also seen significant development efforts. The rankings reflect dynamic shifts in development focus among these projects, with some like Injective (INJ) and Aave (AAVE) gaining momentum, while Curve Finance (CRV) experienced a decline in two of its implementations (on Ethereum and Arbitrum). This analysis highlights the continuous innovation within the DeFi sector.
