🚀Buckle up, BTC enthusiasts! Despite the crypto market's April downturn, layer-2 networks saw a surge in developer activity, hinting at a robust faith in these projects, even as their native tokens took a hit. 📉

🔍Crypto data analytics platform, Santiment, shared a tweet revealing the top ten layer-2 networks, based on non-redundant GitHub activity over the past 30 days. This activity serves as a reliable indicator of whether a team is actively working on a protocol, and high developer activity could even lower the chances of a project being an exit scam. 🕵️‍♂️

🥇Topping the list is Ethereum-based scaling protocol, Optimism, with a whopping 541.33 commits - 146% more than the next project! However, its native token, OP, dropped by over 17% in the last 30 days. 😮

🥈Coming in second is Starknet, recording a developer activity of 220.23, but its native token, STRK, lost roughly 36% of its value in April. 📉

🥉Arbitrum, Cartesi, Immutable X, and Skale Network follow, with their native assets also experiencing significant declines. The last four projects are Bitcoin layer-2 sidechain MintLayer, and Ethereum-based networks Polygon, MetisDAO, and Mantle, all of which saw their native tokens take a hit in April. 😬

Despite the market's volatility, the developer activity on these layer-2 networks is a testament to the unwavering belief in the potential of these projects. So, keep your eyes on the prize, BTC lovers! 🎯🚀
