Joe Lubin Answers the Question, “Who Is an Ethereum Developer?”

How the Ethereum ecosystem can think bigger about who’s building Web3 and reach one million devs.

At the ETHDenver hackathon and community event last week, I shared with the hackers a question we’ve been thinking about since Devcon V, where I challenged our ecosystem to grow to one million developers building on Ethereum: who is an Ethereum developer?

About a third of the attendees in Denver were new to blockchain, so my ConsenSys colleagues and I wanted to make them feel welcome, share knowledge, and show a clear path into our community. At ConsenSys we have lots of Ethereum or Web3 developers. And recently — in the context of driving towards one million Ethereum devs — we’ve been trying to come up with a definition of exactly what an Ethereum developer is.
