Over the past year, the activity of developers of several blockchain projects at once has significantly decreased. EOS (85%), Bitcoin Cash (63%) and Tron (51%) turned out to be anti-leaders in the number of developers who left projects, according to a study by Outlier Ventures.
According to researchers, the decline in activity of EOS developers can be explained by a drop in interest in the project since the launch of its main network. Along with the outcome of the developers, the number of updates to the project code base on GitHub fell by 94%.
The main factor for Tron, whose code is updated 96% less than a year ago, is called negative market dynamics.
At the same time, new players in the field of decentralized applications (Dapps) showed growth. The Polkadot project is supported by 44% more developers, their number in the Cosmos ecosystem has increased by 15%.
Researchers also pay attention to THETA and Cardano projects - the source codes of these two projects began to be updated more often by 930% and 580%, respectively.
Block.One raised more than $ 4 billion to launch the EOS network. Since mid-2018, when the long year of the ICO project was completed, the developers launched 326 functioning decentralized applications, which is only 9% of the total number of Dapps in the blockchain industry. Ethereum remains the leader in this indicator, accounting for 80% of Dapps.
Recall that in May, researchers at UCL Blockchain and Imperial College London came to the conclusion that most of the transactions of Ripple, EOS and Tezos are devoid of economic sense.
