New developers flocked to the Solana ecosystem this year, overthrowing Ethereum’s eight-year reign as the top ecosystem for new developers.

Still, Ethereum is number one globally in total developer activity.

According to a Dec. 12 report from Electric Capital, the Solana ecosystem onboarded more new devs than the Ethereum ecosystem for the first time since 2016. 

Current totals show that 7,625 new developers have joined Solana this year, led by growth in Asia, compared with Ethereum’s 6,456.
