According to Foresight News, according to Electric Capital data, the number of developers in the crypto industry is on a downward trend. As of July this year, the number of full-time developers on Ethereum was 2,788, a year-on-year decrease of 10%; among the mainstream chains, only Base achieved a 14% year-on-year increase in the number of full-time developers, reaching 889. In terms of the total number of developers, Solana and Scroll achieved a 14% year-on-year increase in the past year, while other public chains have experienced varying degrees of decline.
Among them, Polygon saw the most significant decline, with full-time developers down 26% year-on-year and the total number of developers down 33% year-on-year. Analysts believe that the loss of developers in the crypto industry in the past two years is mainly affected by the rapid development of the AI field. It is not a simple transfer between public chains, but the challenge of talent loss faced by the entire industry.
