According to Odaily Planet Daily, Raman Shalupau, CEO of cryptocurrency recruitment company CryptoJobsList, said that the Solana chain Meme coin craze that began in the first half of 2024 has led to an increased demand for Rust engineers.

Shalupau added that this is also driven by broader technology trends, with Rust becoming a popular systems programming language and many blockchain companies adopting it to write high-performance distributed systems.
