Ethereum Tops Developer Growth in 2025, Adding 16K New Devs

Ethereum is proving once again why it’s the go-to blockchain for developers. From January to September 2025, it welcomed 16,181 new developers, more than any other network, with Solana and Bitcoin trailing behind. In total, Ethereum now has 31,869 active developers, nearly double that of Solana and almost three times Bitcoin’s count. This growth shows that builders are flocking to Ethereum, attracted by its vibrant ecosystem, tools, and opportunities for innovation. Other blockchains like Polygon, Sui, BNB Chain, and Polkadot are also seeing activity, but Ethereum’s lead remains clear. Overall, the numbers highlight a healthy, bustling developer community that’s driving new projects, apps, and features across the Ethereum network.
