According to CoinDesk, data from GitHub, the world's largest code hosting platform, shows that the blockchain ecosystem is experiencing a widespread loss of developers. Since early 2025, weekly code commits to crypto projects have decreased from approximately 850,000 to 210,000, and active developers have fallen to around 4,600; the number of developers in mainstream ecosystems like Ethereum, Solana, and Base has also significantly declined. Aptos developers have decreased by about 60%, BNB Chain commits have dropped by approximately 85%, with only wallet infrastructure seeing slight growth. In contrast, GitHub Octoverse reports that in 2025, over 36 million new developers joined the platform, with total commits increasing by about 25% year-over-year. AI-related repositories and LLM development tools are growing rapidly, and among remaining contributors in the crypto field, the proportion of experienced developers is rising.
