Alchemy Developer Survey Results

Developers are increasingly using Web3 libraries like ethers.js and SDKs like the Alchemy SDK. Ethereum libraries grew 37% Y/Y, with 26.8 million downloads in Q2 2023. Web3 wallet SDK installs also saw a massive growth of 196% Y/Y.

The Sepolia testnet is approaching parity with the Goerli testnet, while the latter is declining due to scarcity and secondary markets. Ethereum smart contract deployments grew 64% Q/Q, and L2 smart contract deployments grew 1106% Y/Y.

Layer 2 blockchains are gaining traction, with L1 gas usage by L2s increasing 88% Q/Q. Despite a flat volume of L2 bridging, the adoption of L2s shows real staying power.
