2/ 🔍Why track developer activity?

Real blockchain adoption depends on builders, not speculators. Tracking developer ecosystems lets us anticipate trends, spot emerging tech early, and pinpoint exactly where meaningful growth happens.

Let’s dive into key developer insights 👇

3/ 📌Ethereum is still King

Ethereum remains the undisputed leader in developer engagement:

🔹Ethereum: 2,545 devs

🔹Solana: 761 devs

🔹Cosmos: 702 devs

🔹Bitcoin: 600 devs

Ethereum is the clear hub of innovation, crucial for widespread blockchain adoption.

4/ 📈Modular Infrastructure & Tooling are Surging

Fastest-growing ecosystems attracting dev talent:

🦊 MetaMask (+97% dev growth in last 3 months)

💵 Celo Dollar (+29%)

⚙️ Maker (+28%)

⏱️ Space & Time, 🔗 Sequence (both +15%)

Specialized infra & apps are outpacing traditional Layer 1 adoption.

5/ 🍰Developer Preferences Shifting

Active developers (average by category):

🔹Layer 1: 981 devs

🔹Appchains/Modular: 611 devs

🔹Tooling/Infrastructure: 571 devs

🔹Layer 2 / Sidechains: 458 devs

Modular & L2 solutions increasingly attract builders focused on real-world use cases—efficiently driving meaningful adoption.

6/ 🔥Real Activity vs. Speculative Hype

The dashboards clearly correlate active dev count with code commits. This demonstrates authentic, sustained innovation not short-term hype cycles.

Ethereum leads decisively, setting a benchmark for practical innovation.

7/ 🌐Ethereum L2s: Adoption Accelerators

Developer activity comparison:

🔹Ethereum L2s: 1,385 devs

🔹Non-EVM compatible chains: 1,752 devs

🔹Diverse ecosystems (Other types): 19,941 devs

Ethereum Layer 2 solutions are rapidly gaining traction, fueling efficient scaling and real-world blockchain adoption.

8/ 💡Why This Matters
