Sometimes it seems like people just don't realize how far ahead of everything ( #Bitcoin $BTC notably included) that #Ethereum ⟠ $ETH really is.

Thus I've compiled some metrics from the recent @ElectricCapital Developer Report:

2/

300+ new developers per month commit to the #Ethereum ⟠ $ETH ecosystem

67% increase in monthly active developers in Decentralized Finance ( #DeFi) since January 2020

3/

#Ethereum ⟠ $ETH monthly active developers have grown 215%+ in 3 years

4/

Decentralized Finance ( #DeFi developers increased by 67% since January 2020

5/

We can benchmark 2020 Q3 team size against 2019 Q3 to assess developer growth

No crypto project comes even close to #Ethereum ⟠ $ETH.

6/

#Ethereum ⟠ $ETH gained 300+ average monthly developers since Q3 2019

7/

Looking at top 10 gainers across all top 200 ecosystems... #Ethereum ⟠ $ETH gained the most developers

8/

And this applies both for current numbers and growth rates.

Another notable metric is amount of value locked in #DeFi applications, which is also completely dominated by #Ethereum ⟠ $ETH:
