Polygon Ecosystem Projects Show Resilience Amid Market Challenges

The Polygon network has seen a surge in development activity among its ecosystem projects, according to Santiment's latest screener. This ranking is based on GitHub commits as of February 22, 2026.

Decentraland's MANA takes the top spot, with historical data indicating that periods of high development activity correlate with 20-30% price surges within 30 days. The project has shown resilience in the altcoin market and is worth keeping an eye on for potential price action.

Aave's AAVE ranks second, operating primarily on Ethereum but benefiting from Polygon's bridging capabilities. Its token has experienced a 15% uptick in the last month, driven by lending protocol enhancements.
