Starknet is now getting ready to experience a surge in development as developers show interest worldwide. The statistics show an increase in the traffic of package downloads and signs of active developers that indicate the perspective of the Starknet ecosystem. This rise is the new ‘escape velocity’ as the platform is on the path to locking itself into the blockchain economy.
Rising Downloads of Starknet Packages
Starknet has seen an increase in the trend from May 2024 to September 2024 in the monthly download of packages. From NPM, PyPI, and Cargo sources, September 2024 is observed to have dominated the downloads, with values over 200 thousand. A large part of these downloads is made up of Python (PiePI) and JavaScript (NPM) packages and a smaller base of Rust (Cargo) but growing. This momentum was well carried through the summer period as well.
Developer Activity Reaches New Heights
September 2024 was the most popular, showing the tendency of increasing interest in developers who use different programming languages. The active development of GitHub further complements this trend. Cairo’s active developers have hit their high since January 2023, as revealed by Starknet’s recent tweets. This development has prompted debate on whether Starknet is already at “escape velocity” regarding developer adoption.
Developer Engagement Breakdown:
The developer activity data gives insight into the activities that occur within its ecosystem at various levels. First-timers with 10 commits or fewer have formed the largest group, signifying fresh entrants into the community. The relative distribution of mid-level contributors (with 10-19 commits) and highly involved ones (with 20+ commits) increases, specifically in June-September 2024. This means a deepening commitment from contributors to the platform’s development.
A New Era for Starknet?
Thus, despite the markets moving in the right direction by constantly growing and attracting new developers’ attention, Starknet is gradually preparing for growth and new solutions. Every day, more developers use Starknet tools and packages, which makes ever-bigger waves in space.
As Starknet expands its community, developers and blockchain enthusiasts should dive into the ecosystem and fund projects that can become the future of decentralized apps.
