We eliminate those that don’t reflect real activity.61. Forks Only new code count toward “core” protocol activity. We omit code and developer activity from merging changes from the original, forked codebase.2. Commits from Integrating Open Source Libraries Integrating common libraries does not count toward “total” or “core” code activity. 3. Projects with only 1 repo Activity resulting from changes to the website or documentation does not count toward “core” activity, but counts toward “total” activity.4. Projects built on Ethereum Only Solidity changes count toward “core” protocol activity. Website changes, documentation, etc. in the same repo as protocol code only count toward “total” commits.Dev ReportWe can always be better. Have feedbackCode contribution analysis is nuanced and we know this is imperfect. We welcome any feedback or comments on this report. Please do let us know how we can improve our data and analysis.Contact Maria Shen - 7Dev ReportLooking at all public coin repositories since 2010.8Builders Report 2018The number of developers working on public coins has roughly doubled in 2 years9Today 4,352 monthly developersIndd 2,845 coins across 20,667 repos | Electric Capital Internal Data | Excluding closed code repositoriesJan, 2010 Jan, 2012 Jan, 2014 Jan, 2016 Jan, 2018Jan, 2017 2,190 monthly developersBuilders Report 2018From Jan 2018 to Jan 2019, monthly devs only fell 4 while crypto markets fell 8010Crypto prices peaked hereIndd 2,845 coins across 20,667 repos | Electric Capital Internal Data | Excluding closed code repositoriesJan, 2010 Jan, 2012 Jan, 2014 Jan, 2016 Jan, 2018TodayBuilders Report 2018Today, 4k developers a month work on over 2,800 public coins11TodayIndd 2,845 coins across 20,667 repos | Electric Capital Internal Data | Excluding closed code repositoriesJan, 2010 Jan, 2012 Jan, 2014 Jan, 2016 Jan, 2018Builders Report 2018But this is actually undercounting the number of developers in crypto.12Builders Report 2018 13Indd 2,845 coins across 20,667 repos | Electric Capital Internal Data | Excluding closed code repositoriesSome of the biggest repos are private, not yet shipped, or not a coin e.g. Lightning future reports will incorporate these sourcesTotal number of developers is actually much higherBuilders Report 2018So, what are all these devs working on14Dev ReportDevelopers are working on two aspects of projects.15Dev Report1.
