1. ♥Ethereum is still the most actively developed Blockchain protocol, followed by #Cardano and #Bitcoin ;

♦Multi-chain protocols like #Polkadot , #Cosmos and #Avalanche are seeing a consistent rise in core development and developer contribution.

2. ♦In the year of its public launch, decentralized file storage project #Filecoin jumped straight into the top 5 of most actively developed projects;

♦ #Ethereum killers #Tron, #EOS, #Komodo, and #Qtum are seeing a decrease in core development metrics;

3. ♣ #DeFi protocols took the space by storm with #Ethereum being the choice of the underlying blockchain and smart contracts platform. They saw an increase in core development and developer contribution activity over the year which was all open sourced.

4. ♣ The most active projects are #Maker, #Gnosis and #Synthetix, with #Aave and #Bancor showing the most growth. #SushiSwap and #Yearn Finance, both launched in 2020, quickly grew toward and beyond the development activity and size of most
other #DeFi protocols.

5. ♠ NFT and Metaverse projects like collectibles, gaming, crypto art and virtual worlds saw a market-wide increase in interest, but mostly follow a closed source development approach. A notable exception is #Decentraland , which has development activity on the levels of some+

+major blockchain technologies like #Stellar and #Algorand, and ahead of some of the most popular DeFi protocols like #Uniswap and #Compound;
