Solana overthrows Ethereum’s 8-year reign as top ecosystem for new devs
Ethereum still has the crown for total developer activity, topping the charts across every continent around the world.
New developers flocked to the Solana ecosystem this year, overthrowing Ethereum’s eight-year reign as the top ecosystem for new developers.
However, Ethereum is still number one globally in total developer activity.
According to a Dec. 12 report from Electric Capital, the Solana ecosystem onboarded more new devs in July than the Ethereum ecosystem for the first time since 2016.
That momentum continued throughout the rest of the year, with current totals showing 7,625 new developers have joined Solana, led by developer growth in Asia, compared to Ethereum’s 6,456.
The report also noted that the Solana ecosystem had experienced an 83% jump in activity since last year.
Solana managed to briefly flip Ethereum on several fronts this year. On March. 18, Solana network activity surpassed Ethereum amid a scramble for Solana-based memecoins, while Oct. 28 saw it surpass Ethereum in daily network fee generation over 24 hours.
In total, the report found that 39,148 new developers began exploring crypto this year, down 7% from last year and roughly half the all-time high of over 77,000 in 2022.
