thoughts from a16zcrypto.com/stateofcrypto for discussion cc @a16zcrypto: competition gets most intense when resources are limited. in consumer crypto, resources = users. given the intense tribalism rampant on crypto twitter, it's no surprise that crypto isn't onboarding new users — and we haven't since april. since april, there has been a 3.25x increase in # of unique users on blockchains (37M to 125M) and plateaued mobile wallet users (27M). great, you may think. think again. from april to september: - transactions across blockchains dropped from 2.67B to 2.1B; the avg txns per unique user dropped nearly 75% from 72 to 16.8 - DEX volume dropped nearly 30%. stablecoin volume dropped almost 25%, although had a record month in august. NFT buyers dropped 25% - worse, imo, is the # of active and interested developer building publicly in crypto has been on a downward trend since january 2022 if you're a consumer app targeting crypto only, i hope you have enough runway to wait for a true bull market.

Eg. "Active Developers" being defined as "Number of unique Github users who have committed to or forked a public crypto repository during the month." This is an overly broad metric -- it over-counts "devs" and particularly so in the bull, leading to graphs that look more gloomy than they should

Commits and PRs is a good metric. Forks not so much.
