Rhythm BlockBeats news, encrypted venture capital company Electric Capital recently released The blockchain developer report is published, which summarizes and analyzes the situation of developers in the encryption field based on Electric Capital's proprietary data.
Rhythm BlockBeats edited according to the content of the report as follows:
Electric Capital The report mainly gives the following conclusions:
1. For the first time since 2017, the number of new encryption developers has increased.
In 2020, the monthly growth rate of new crypto developers reached 15%, which is the first increase since 2017;
More than 80% of today's active developers joined in the past two years.
2. Developers are beginning to pursue ecosystem quality: high-quality ecosystems are growing while others are shrinking.
The blockchain ecosystem developers whose value ranks outside 200 are constantly losing, resulting in the monthly active encryption developers remaining stable even though new developers continue to join;
p>
The number of ecosystem developers outside the top 200 has decreased by 30% since December 2018.
3. Developer activity is especially active in Bitcoin, Ethereum, some Layer1 and decentralized finance.
The number of developers in the Bitcoin ecosystem has increased by more than 70% compared to 3 years ago;
There are more than 300 new developers every month developers are joining the Ethereum ecosystem;
Since January 2020, the number of active developers of decentralized finance has increased by 67% per month.
This year, who left the encryption field, who stayed, and who joined?
October 2020, 75% of developers contributed less than 10 days; annual, infrequent code contributions Those who contribute regularly have decreased by 13%, while those who contribute regularly have remained relatively flat.
Every month in 2020 More than 1,200 new developers have joined the encryption field; in the past 90 days, another 45% of new developers have remained active; since the beginning of 2020, active developers in the encryption field have remained at around 40% per month, and the current Among the active developers, 80% started to join the active developer team after 2017.
Activeness of different blockchain ecosystems
Since 2017, the number of crypto ecosystems has increased by 143%, However, the number of active ecosystems decreased by 18% in 2020.
The reason for the decrease in the ecosystem is that small ecosystems (with 2-10 developers) are shrinking dramatically; However, the scale of the ecosystem with more than 100 developers has not changed significantly, and it has remained at the original ecological scale.
But from the data, the ecosystem with 31-50 developers in the third quarter of 2019 is the easiest Lost developers: More than 70% of teams with 31-50 developers experienced a decline in team size in Q3 2020.
Take a look at small and independent development teams: 25% of ecosystems with less than 10 developers and 56% of 1-developer ecosystems die after a year.
2020 Q3 developer scale vs 2019 Q3 Developer size
by comparison , the following conclusions can be drawn:
1. Since the third quarter of 2019, the average monthly new Added more than 300 developers.
2. Polkadot, Tezos, Cardano had over 100 developers in Q3 2019 and attracted more developers in Q3 2020.
Among them, the number of developers of Polkadot has more than doubled;
The number of developers of Filecoin has increased by 3 times, thus entering the Huge ecosystem with 100+ developers;
3. Bitcoin, Cosmos, Lightning and Hyperledger all remain the same size.
4. Among the top-ranked blockchains, the loss of Eos developers is more obvious, with an average loss of 88 active developers per month.
In small and medium development ecosystems
In the third quarter of 2019, the number of developers of Oasis, Chainlink and other companies more than doubled;
In the third quarter of 2019, Near, Flow, The number of developers of companies such as Avalanche Protocol, Uniswap, Balancer, and Arweave has more than tripled;
In the third quarter of 2019, projects such as Holo, Omisego, Zilliqa, Ark, and SKALE Size remains largely the same;
Algorand, Solana, Thorchain, Synthetix, and others will nearly double the number of developers in Q3 2019.
Top 10 in the Blockchain Ecosystem h3>
Ethereum is the biggest winner with the most developers; followed by Polkadot and Tezos, and Filecoin ranks fourth.
Rhythm sees that from the perspective of blockchain developers with 30 or less in the ecosystem, its growth momentum ranks among the top five They are: Avalanche Protocol, Balancer, Uniswap, Yearn.finance, and Arweave.
Ethereum and Bitcoin ecosystem developers
Looking back at the two largest blockchains in the encryption ecosystem, the development of both ecosystems is very healthy. Basically maintained the momentum of only increasing rather than decreasing.
The number of Bitcoin developers has remained constant since 2019 with monthly active frequent contributors Keep it above 100 people. Since the bull run in 2017, the number of new developers joining Bitcoin has increased, with 45 to 120 new developers contributing to Bitcoin every month. Moreover, Bitcoin developers are very stable and "long-term". As far as Bitcoin core is concerned, 50% of the monthly code submissions come from developers who have been working for 5 years or more.
Looking at the development ecology of Ethereum, Rhythm summarizes according to the Electric Capital report: monthly active developers continue to Increase.
Specifically reflected in:
1. Since October 2019, other ecosystems are losing developers, and many developers tend to Concentrated in a large ecology.
2. Since January 2020, Ethereum has seen a 22% increase in infrequent contributors and a 13% increase in frequent contributors;
3. Since 2018, more than 300 new developers have joined the Ethereum ecosystem every month;
4. About a quarter of crypto New developers contributing to the Ethereum ecosystem;
Celo, Nervos, Near, Oasis Labs, and Algorand grow to 51-100 developers in Q3 2020 developer category;
BitcoinCash, NEO, XRP, Waves, and Ethereum Classic dropped out of the 51-100 developer category in Q3 2020.
The State of Decentralized Finance Developers
Since 2020 Monthly active DeFi developers have increased by 67% since January. Since 2019, Defi developers have increased by 110%, while developers in other fields have decreased by 8%. Beginning in 2020, developers who use DeFi both frequently and infrequently are increasing.
Uniswap, Balancer, Yearn , MCDEX, Acala saw a 200% increase in developers; Yearn and Acala were the largest new Defi ecosystems in Q3 2020. Rhythm understands that most DeFi ecosystems have probably fewer than 25 developers.
The DeFi market is attracting more and more developers, and the reward mechanism for developers in its ecology will It is possible to further improve and expand its ecosystem.
