In the past 100 years, there have been three major shifts in technology. The first one was this thing that we call the computer and the second one was the thing we called the internet. And the third one is Web3 or crypto. We've seen roughly a 4X increase in the growth of the developer ecosystem over the past 12 months. That's both on kind of core Ethereum, which is seen about a 3X increase; across L2s and other chains, almost like 7.5X there.
For this week’s Tuesday episode where we chat with a web3 expert, we’re playing a recording of our discussion live on stage with Alchemy’s CEO Nikil Viswanathan at TechCrunch Sessions: Crypto 2022. We chatted about:
- How the industry and developer’s focus on infrastructure has shifted
- Developers focus amid the crypto market chaos
- What will drive the next wave of consumer interest
- Advice for developers, builders and founders alike
- Which smaller blockchains are seeing the most activity and interest from developers
- Why Alchemy named itself Alchemy
