Filecoin, Chainlink, and ICP Leads AI-Focused Blockchain in Development Activity

• Developer activity in AI and big data is concentrated among a few core infrastructure-focused blockchain networks.
• Filecoin, Chainlink, and Internet Computer account for the highest development scores by a wide margin.
• Lower-ranked projects still show active builds, though with significantly reduced development intensity.

Recent data released by Santiment shows a rising competition among blockchain projects operating at the intersection of artificial intelligence and big data, with developer activity growing, focusing on a small group of infrastructure-focused networks. The ranking, based on filtered GitHub activity, highlights where ongoing development work is currently centered across the sector.

According to the dataset, Filecoin leads all AI and big data-related blockchain projects by a wide margin. The network recorded a development activity score of 348.03, indicating consistent technological output tied to decentralized storage and data availability. At the time of the record, Filecoin traded near $1.50, reflecting a daily increase of 3.44%, while its market capitalization stood at approximately $1.1 billion.

The second position was held by Chainlink, which posted a development score of 211.03. Chainlink traded at around $13.12 after a 1.45% daily gain, giving it a market value of roughly $9.28 billion. The figures rank the project firmly among the most actively developed infrastructures supporting data delivery across decentralized systems.
