3、Shen Why analyze developer activity? 3 1.Crypto networks are new open platforms on which a new applications will be built. 2.An early signal of adoption on an emerging platform is engagement from developers. Developers build the applications that deliver value to end users and customers, which attra
4、cts more developers. 3.The crypto stack is uniquely open source, allowing us to analyze and understand developer engagement in an unprecedented way. 1.The number of new crypto developers is growing for the first time since 2017 a.New monthly crypto developers grew 15% in 2020, increasing for the fir
5、st time since 2017 b.80%+ of all active developers today came in the last two years 2.There is a flight to quality: high quality ecosystems are growing while others are shrinking a.Monthly active crypto developers have stayed flat even as new developers joined due to developer loss outside of the To
