We just published a new list: the 300 most influential in Ethereum.

cryptoinfluencers.io

Big thanks to the Ethereum community members who provided feedback. Especially @PAMauric for putting us in touch with the relevant working group!

More lists are coming (thread👇)

The profiles also got a little update. Those that are ranked on both lists (general crypto and Ethereum) now have both ranks displayed on their profiles.

You can navigate using LEFT/RIGHT keys.

We are planning to expand the profiles with more data over the next weeks.

Now let’s take a look at results.

The first 4 spots are not a surprise.

@VitalikButerin ranked #1 (#3 in crypto)

@VladZamfir ranked #2 (#25 in crypto)

@ethereumJoseph ranked #3 (#47)

@gavofyork #4 (#57)

Things get interesting with #5 @avsa and #6 @el33th4

Emin ranks #16 in crypto. Alex ranks only #131. And yet, in Ethereum he is higher.

@avsa in fact gained the most compared to his position in crypto.

This led us to take a closer look at these differences (👇)

These accounts gained the most between crypto/Ethereum:

@Avsa #131 > #5
@BobSummerwill #180 > #9
@GeorgeAHallam #193 > #15
@Koeppelmann #163 > #14
@Zeligf #385 > #28

This makes sense. They are all deeply involved with Ethereum.

The same is true for the next 5 accounts that gained the most compared to their rank in Crypto.

@Nicksdjohnson #338 > #18
@Feindura #219 > #17
@Kumavis #403 > #31
@_jeffehh #183 > #16
@karl_dot_tech #226 > #13

The common thread here is that they are developers.

In the next 5 there are also devs (with exception of Joe Lubin):

@thegrifft #489 -> #34
@ethereumJoseph #47 -> #3
@Simondlr #103 -> #10
@Hudsonjameson #176 -> #7
@ChrJentzsch #336 -> #29

This naturally leads to a question: who gained the least compared to their crypto rank?

@Socrates1024 #44 > #33
@Breitwoman #232 > #160
@ArthurB #224 > #146
@iam_preethi #102 > #61
@wmougayar #135 > #80

This makes sense. They are also influential in other clusters.

This conclusion seems to hold when we look at the next 5:

@Yanroux #755 > #315
@Jcp #91 > #38
@AmberBaldet #77 > #33
@BrendanEich #222 > #102
@KyleSamani #209 > #99

While they are influential in Ethereum, they are clearly also influential in other clusters.

Prediction: in the future lists we'll see:

* Developers (esp. protocol devs) and foundation's team will rank disproportionally high.
* Investors and founders of successful projects that came out of these communities will rank proportionally low.

Any other guesses?

Good news if you liked Ethereum list: more are coming:

Bitcoin, Ripple, Bitcoin Cash, EOS and so on.

We prioritize communities that provide us with feedback. This speeds up our process.
