Santiment ranks Dash, Chainlink, HOPR top privacy projects by 30-day GitHub activity

GitHub activity is a useful but narrow proxy: it captures engineering momentum without saying anything about adoption, privacy guarantees in production, or token utility. The presence of Chainlink — better known for oracle infrastructure than privacy tooling — alongside dedicated privacy chains and mixers suggests the label is doing loose work, and Santiment's own note that Chainlink slipped while Dash and HOPR rose shows how quickly these rankings reshuffle. Worth watching is whether commit counts translate into shipped privacy features rather than repository churn, and whether the projects ranked lower here contest the framing.
