2023 Web3 Development Report

A look back at 2023 developer activity, trends, and achievements

The numbers are in — and devs building in web3 have every reason to be optimistic.

In this “year-in-review” edition of our Web3 Development Report, we analyze developer activity across testnets and mainnets to paint a clearer, more objective picture of ecosystem growth.

Here’s a sneak peek 🔮:

• EVM development continues to grow: Ethereum and wallet SDK installs reached all time highs for the 5th year in a row.

• Account Abstraction accelerates: Over 960,000 new ERC-4337 accounts were created in just one quarter, representing 53% of the total 1.8 million deployments to date.

• L2s lead with new rollup frameworks: The OP Stack, Arbitrum Orbit and Polygon’s CDK allowed new chains to launch as either L2s or L3s.

We also celebrate major chain achievements including milestones from Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Solana, Astar, and Starknet.

There’s a lot to dig into.
