Santiment Reveals Top 10 RWA Projects by Developer Activity in the Last 30 Days

Santiment has released a new ranking of the most active real-world asset (RWA) blockchain projects, measuring developer activity over the past 30 days. The data highlights growing interest in infrastructure supporting tokenization, interoperability, enterprise solutions, and real-world finance on-chain.

Chainlink Leads the RWA Ecosystem

Chainlink takes the top spot in the ranking, continuing its strong position as the leading oracle and interoperability layer for real-world asset infrastructure. Its dominance reflects ongoing upgrades to CCIP, integrations with institutions, and expanding support for tokenization platforms.

Hedera and Avalanche Follow Closely

Hedera ranks second, driven by steady development from enterprise-focused contributors working on high-throughput and regulatory-friendly applications. Avalanche comes in third, supported by active development of its subnet ecosystem, improvements to its scalability stack, and ongoing RWA integrations.

Strong Performance Across Established and Emerging RWA Networks

The rest of the top 10 includes a mix of established and rising RWA-focused platforms:

  1. Stellar (XLM)
  2. IOTA (IOTA)
  3. Axelar (AXL)
  4. Chia Network (XCH)
  5. VeChain (VET)
  6. Injective (INJ)
  7. Centrifuge (CFG)

These projects represent a diverse set of approaches to the RWA sector, ranging from cross-chain infrastructure (Axelar) to supply-chain tokenization (VeChain) and credit-based financial systems (Centrifuge).

RWA Development Shows Accelerating Momentum

Santiment’s ranking reflects broader momentum in the RWA sector, which continues to attract institutional attention and venture capital despite broader market volatility.
Developer activity is one of the strongest leading indicators of long-term project sustainability, and the consistent performance of these networks signals a maturing RWA landscape.

As tokenization continues expanding across traditional finance, logistics, commodities, and enterprise solutions, the RWA category is becoming one of the fastest-growing sectors in blockchain development.
