Are Builders Quietly Choosing the Next Winners Before Price Does?

Santiment’s latest dev activity rankings had MetaMask, Hedera, and Chainlink at the top — ahead of a lot of louder “market favorites.”

Honestly this stuff is more interesting than short-term price charts sometimes

If teams keep shipping during weak market conditions, that usually says more than a random pump. [Chainlink](https://coinmarketcap.com/ru/currencies/chainlink/), HBAR, MetaMask… not exactly meme coin momentum trades, but strong infrastructure plays

Feels like dev activity is one of those signals people ignore until price catches up

Do you actually look at development activity when picking altcoins, or do you think GitHub metrics are mostly noise?
