Building a Web3 Developer Ecosystem
summary
Electric Capital shows about 23,000 Web3 developers worldwide with ~39% annual growth since 2015 and Asia at ~32% share, but projects lack 5–10 year senior hires and face high market volatility. Developer salaries run ~15–30% higher, token grants and airdrops accelerate onboarding yet are a double-edged incentive that can harm long‑term quality. Effective pathways are community contribution, open‑source PRs, and remote collaboration skills; China ecosystems use WeChat and Gitee rather than Discord/Twitter/GitHub.
