Ethereum has experienced an extraordinary increase in its developer base, growing from just 25 developers in early 2019 to nearly 550 by 2024 - a staggering 2.100% increase.
This surge is a testament to the platform’s strong appeal in the tech and blockchain communities. The main driver of this growth is Ethereum’s position as a leading blockchain platform that offers ample opportunities for innovation and development.
With nearly 2,788 full-time developers and over 8,865 total monthly active developers, Ethereum remains at the forefront of blockchain development.
The network’s robust ecosystem and its continuous development in areas such as smart contracts, decentralized applications and second-layer solutions are attracting top talent.
Developers are attracted by the large community, extensive resources and the platform’s commitment to improving scalability, security and functionality.
