Top 10 Ethereum-Based Projects Drawing Most Developer Attention in the Last Month

Surprisingly, Ethereum’s native coin, ETH, did not take the top spot, as layer-2 scaling solutions continue to attract significant attention.

The growing focus on projects that enhance Ethereum’s efficiency—by improving scalability and reducing fees—is reflected in the latest rankings. Chainlink recorded the highest level of developer engagement with a score of 511, followed by Starknet at 455.

Ethereum itself ranked third with a developer activity score of 312. EigenLayer and Fuel Network followed, registering 251 and 242, respectively.

Status and Synthetix each saw increased attention, both scoring above 180, while The Graph and Safe rounded out the top ten, showing steady progress in developer contributions.

While the leading projects remained in the same positions as the previous rankings, some notable shifts occurred lower down the list. sUSD slipped in ranking, while Status, Synthetix, The Graph, and Safe all climbed.

The continued rise of these projects underscores the shifting priorities within the Ethereum ecosystem, as developers gravitate toward solutions that enhance usability, interoperability, and financial infrastructure.
