"La Révolution Solana : Ethereum Menacé par un Nouveau Leader ?"
CléFor the first time since Ethereum's inception in 2016, Solana attracted more new developers than its longstanding rival. This shift underscores Solana's rising prominence and the growing appeal of its ecosystem.
Solana Outpaces Ethereum in Developer Onboarding
Key highlights from the report include:
New Developers: Solana welcomed 7,625 new developers, surpassing Ethereum's 6,456. This growth was primarily driven by increased adoption in Asia.
Ecosystem Growth: Solana recorded an 83% increase in ecosystem activity, marking it as one of the fastest-growing blockchain ecosystems in 2024.
Solana vs. Ethereum: Key Metrics
Solana achieved notable milestones against Ethereum this year:
Network Activity: On March 18, Solana briefly overtook Ethereum in network usage, driven by demand for Solana-based memecoins.
Fee Generation: On October 28, Solana exceeded Ethereum in daily network fee generation, a significant achievement reflecting its growing utility.
Ethereum’s Dominance in Total Developer Engagement
Despite Solana's remarkable progress, Ethereum remains the largest ecosystem globally:
Monthly Developers: Ethereum continues to host 6,244 active monthly developers, even with a 17% decline from the previous year.
Layer-2 (L2) Growth: Ethereum's L2 networks experienced a 64% increase since 2021. Notably, 26% of monthly crypto developers work on Ethereum's L2s and mainnet.
Regional Trends: Asia Leads the Way
Electric Capital's analysis highlights the global uptake of crypto development:
Asia: One in three developers globally resides in Asia, with India leading in onboarding new talent.
Regional Preferences: Stablecoin transactions peaked during daylight hours in Asia, Europe, and Africa, while NFT trading and minting saw spikes during America's work hours and Asia's worktimes, respectively.
What’s Next for Solana and Ethereum?
Solana’s ability to surpass Ethereum in attracting developers signals a shift in the blockchain landscape. Its developer-friendly tools, active community, and growing utility position it as a formidable competitor. However, Ethereum's global dominance and robust Layer-2 ecosystem suggest that the blockchain giant is far from ceding its top spot.
As crypto adoption continues to spread globally, competition among leading blockchains will likely drive further innovation and ecosystem expansion, shaping the industry for years to come.
CléRédacteur pour Crypto-Neet. J'ai commencé à m'intéresser aux cryptomonnaies en 2017, juste avant le bull run de fin d'année. Après avoir réalisé toutes les erreurs de débutant, j'ai décidé de m'intéresser sérieusement à la blockchain, à la DeFi et au trading. C'est aujourd'hui devenu une passion de tous les jours que je partage à travers des articles d'actualités et des reviews vulgarisées. Passionné aussi par la création de contenus, je tente de créer une expérience intéressante et facile à utiliser pour les lecteurs et utilisateurs. Dernièrement, je me spécialise sur l'utilisation de Midjourney pour accompagner nos contenus sur la cryptomonnaie. Je rédige aussi des articles sur Alti Trading et Tradingbeasts.
