We analyzed 150m+ repos & xM code commits to produce these 100+ charts.
This was a community effort: 150 people contributed via email and Github! Thank you everyone who helped.
Let's dig in👇
2/ Our methodology:
We focus on open source code, so we undercount total developers in web3.
We focus on unique code and do not count purely copy/paste code.
These are all imperfect measures but directionally useful to understand web3 growth. Feedback is appreciated!
3/ tl;dr - Web3 is at All-Time Highs:
* 18k+ monthly devs
* 2.5k monthly devs in DeFi
* 3k NEW devs touch web3 code each month
* Several emerging ecosystems are growing faster than @Ethereum at the same stage in its history
* 20-25% of new devs each month start on @Ethereum
