The Solana (SOL) ecosystem has seen a significant growth in its developer base, with over 2,500 monthly active developers, according to a report released by the Solana Foundation. This consistent range of 2,500 to 3,000 developers over the past year showcases the ecosystem’s ability to attract and retain talented individuals.
However, it’s important to note that this measurement only considers developers who contribute to public repositories. Another report from Electric Capital’s blockchain development tracker, Developer Report, provides an alternative perspective. As of October 1, 2023, Solana’s developer count stood at 946, a significant decline from its all-time high of 2,634 recorded on December 22, 2022. The Electric Capital report relies on data from GitHub and covers statistics until October 1. The spokesperson of the report assured that the fourth-quarter data would be updated soon.
