Follow the Web3 Devs
At tr3butor we’re obsessed about monitoring data and trends around Web3 talent. This is a major reason why we’re initiating a research project to understand the needs and challenges of Web3 talent and organizations. For this edition we’re sharing some of the Web3 developer trends we have come across.
Development activity across major L1s
Development activity on BNB has been the worst performer when compared across other L1s. All other major L1s such as Solana, Near, Terra, Avalanche, Polygon and Polkadot have trended upwards for Q1 of 2022.
Development activity on ETH has also trended down if compared to prior timelines but this could be explained by the shift of focus to alternate L1s and ETH L2s such as Arbitrum, Optimism etc.
Both Polygon and Avalanche have consistently trended upwards for Q1 of 2022.
Share of TVL by smart contract language
Solidity based protocols still command a major chunk of the total value locked amongst smart contract protocols. However since 2021 Solidity has been gradually losing some ground to Rust which has been gaining traction especially because of the adoption of protocols like Solana or Near.
According to Anatoly Yakovenko, one of the cofounders of Solana, Rust is becoming popular because it’s commonly used by FAANG developers and found in many Github repos. Rust is a great systems language that is relatively secure that provides the performance of C but the safety of Go.
tr3butor Updates
We can’t be more excited coming out of Devconnect this past week. We’ve had the chance to meet many Projects, DAOs & VCs and Foundations that have given us a lot of positive feedback on our product.
We’re hard at work building the next iteration of our core product where we’ll be launching the testnet in the next few months.
We’re bringing talent recruitment on-chain where you can get onboarded in a gamified manner and matched with the best offers for jobs, grants, hackathons etc. This will help talent unlock an immense amount of rewards in the Web3 ecosystem.
In addition to making talent recruitment frictionless in Web3, we’re also obsessed about making data more transparent so that talent and organizations can make better decisions.
As part of this mission for more transparency we’re embarking on a user research survey to uncover the needs and challenges of Web3 talent and organizations. The data from the survey will be a win-win for everyone because it will help shape our matching engine and we’ll also share it with the ecosystem.
If you join us as an early member, not only will you get beta access to the product but you’ll receive a special NFT which will bring you more amazing benefits ranging from special whitelist opportunities, early and full access to the survey results etc. Follow us on Twitter so you don’t miss these upcoming announcements.
Featured Project
As we continue to grow our ecosystem we like to feature projects that our community would find interesting.
Aragon
Aragon is the most respected platform to build DAOs in Web3. It was one of the first organizations that was onboarded to tr3butor. Their team had a lot of positive feedback for us that we’re on the right track. If you want to hangout with OGs from Aragon, just hop into our Discord.
Aragon is an open-source software used to maintain and create DAOs on Ethereum, consisting of three main offerings:
1) the Aragon client - a toolkit for developers to create customizable online organizations that aim for more transparent group participation
2) the Aragon network - an organization that supports the interactions between the platform’s community of DAOs
3) Aragon Association – a non-profit that manages and allocates the funds raised from Aragon’s token sale.
Aragon’s native cryptocurrency is ANT, which grants owners the ability to vote on key decisions about the project’s future and is central to managing the DAOs on its platform.
More than 1,700 organizations have been built on Aragon such as Curve, Decentraland, and PoolTogether — with a total project market cap of over $3 billion.
