Solana Surpasses Ethereum in Developer Preference

A report from DER AKTIONÄR highlights Solana's significant achievement in surpassing Ethereum as the preferred blockchain for new developers according to Electric Capital’s findings (source: www.deraktionaer.de). The data reveals that out of 39,148 new developers entering the blockchain space this year alone, approximately 7,625 have chosen Solana over other networks—a remarkable growth rate exceeding last year's figures by 83%. Despite these gains made within developer circles globally—particularly across regions such as Africa or Asia where activity remains high—it is important not to overlook how established players like Ether continue dominating overall engagement metrics worldwide, thanks largely to ongoing contributions coming from their existing base numbering around six thousand monthly active participants, even amidst recent declines observed therein (-17%).
