Data: As developers shift towards AI projects, code commits to crypto projects have decreased by 75%.

CoinFeed reported on March 12th, citing CoinDesk, that Artemis data shows a significant decline in developer activity across blockchain projects since the beginning of 2025, with weekly code commits down by approximately 75% and active developers decreasing by 56%. In stark contrast, GitHub saw its overall developer base increase by approximately 36 million in 2025, exceeding 180 million, with overall commits increasing by about 25% year-over-year. This growth is primarily driven by artificial intelligence; GitHub now boasts over 4.3 million AI-related repositories, and the number of repositories importing large language model SDKs surged by 178% to over 1.1 million, with generative AI projects attracting over 1 million contributors monthly. In the crypto space, the number of developers across all major networks has generally declined.
