According to PANews, recent data shared by Sam Blackshear, co-founder and CTO of Mysten Labs, reveals that Sui has become the second fastest-growing Layer 1 (L1) developer community over the past year, with a growth rate of 16.1%. This places it just behind Solana, which experienced a 17.7% increase. Over the past two years, Sui's developer community has grown by 54%, ranking it as the fastest-growing in this category.
This growth stands in stark contrast to the overall trend in the cryptocurrency industry, where the total number of developers has decreased by approximately 20% over the past year. All major Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) L1 developer communities have experienced negative growth during this period.
