Coinbase on Defining the Web3 Developer Stack
Today, millions of software applications have been created by a thriving, global ecosystem of more than ~31.1M software developers. However, despite the steady uptrend in software development activity, Web3 developers represent less than 1% of the global software developer community. There are at least 18,000 monthly active developers in the Web3 ecosystem, according to a from crypto VC firm . This is the number of developers who commit code into open source crypto and Web3 projects at least once a month (note that this does not include data from proprietary projects).
believes that as Web3 continues to gain momentum, there’s an opportunity to invest in new developer tools and infrastructure to simplify the Web3 developer journey and unlock the next stage of Web3 innovation and growth. As more robust developer tools and infrastructure platforms emerge, Web3 developer activity will rapidly grow resulting in increased distribution and adoption of blockchain applications overall.
With that framing in mind, come learn more about how defines the Web3 developer stack and the tooling that you can use to build solutions for the new decentralized internet. Additionally, will share insights on how they are supporting the future of Web3 development.
