We’re at the turning point of a new era. Blockchain will change everything, and these are the development trends you can’t ignore when considering building blockchain applications in 2026. Blockchain has given us a peek at the future. And it’s looking even brighter than we expected. But it’s difficult to keep track of the constant changes and updates across the various Blockchain protocols viewed as important.
In 2021, Outlier Ventures (a venture firm invested in supporting the development and growth of emerging technologies), published a study on the state of Blockchain protocols. They indexed 6163 code repositories and analyzed over a million commits across 186 GitHub organizations.
The research report contains a number of metrics which can be used to better understand how blockchain technology is being used, and how developers are utilizing the technology. The result will hopefully provide some unbiased insight into the trends and direction of blockchain development. The figures below are from that 2021 report; current numbers follow after them.
Here's a rundown of some of the key findings from the Outlier Ventures report (2021):

Blockchain developers in 2026: the numbers

So far, we can't tell (we can only guess) which of the protocols will become more popular by the end of 2026, but there is little question about one thing: blockchain development is on the rise and moving forward.
To that end, we would like to discuss some of the trends that shape blockchain development in 2026.

Blockchain is a digital ledger technology that stores transactional records and associated data in blocks. Each block contains a timestamp and a link to a previous block. Read more about how blockchain works.
You may recall that the ancient Egyptians had something like this: they used a kind of "ledger" called a papyrus roll to record events that happened, and then re-used the rolls again to record new events. That gave them a permanent historical memory.
The Blockchain takes this a step further by making a historical record that everyone agrees on, and by making it possible for everyone to do something with it – like make smart contracts – without placing the burden of trust on a single entity or individual. In other words, the blockchain is a decentralized network that exists over peer-to-peer networks with no central authority or third party overseeing transactions.
The bitcoin currency is the first widespread use of the technology, but many people in the blockchain community see it as a platform for many kinds of decentralized systems, including file storage and even user-to-user messaging and e-commerce.
Bitcoin's blockchain is one decentralized ledger made mainly for payments. Newer blockchains added more features. The best known of these is Ethereum, which runs smart contracts on its blockchain.
Computer scientist and cryptographer Nick Szabo first used the term “smart contract” in 1994, referring to "a set of promises, specified in digital form, including protocols within which the parties perform on these promises".
When run on the blockchain a smart contract becomes like a self-operating computer program that automatically executes when specific conditions are met. Because smart contracts run on the blockchain, they run exactly as programmed without any possibility of censorship, downtime, fraud, or third-party interference.
Smart contracts remove the need for a "middle man" by hosting the code on a blockchain. Smart contracts can be used to create applications that allow for the direct exchange of money and content between individuals in a transparent way without any third-party intermediary.
The Ethereum Project, led by Vitalik Buterin, formalized these concepts for the first time in 2014 within a general-purpose programming language for building decentralized applications.
The word "protocol" may bring to mind images of stuffy academics debating over arcane details, but in the case of blockchains, it's a very significant term with a very specific definition.
A protocol sets forth a set of rules for the computers on a network to follow. These rules dictate how computers send data to each other, make sure that data is secure, and agree upon how multiple nodes will interact with each other on the network.
From a business perspective, the most important thing about blockchains is that they provide a platform for decentralized applications (dApps). Blockchain protocols are open-source, meaning anyone can see the code and suggest changes. As data is entered into the blockchain, it is grouped with other data so it cannot be edited or deleted.
Why is this important? The blockchain protocol determines what kinds of applications can be built on top of it.
There are hundreds of blockchain protocols, and we will here take a brief look at the most popular ones.
A multi-chain refers to a blockchain project that is deployed independently in another chain rather than the original chain. For example, say a project was launched on Ethereum, that has its own token and smart contracts, it can be deployed as a multi-chain on another chain such as BNB Smart Chain (formerly Binance Smart Chain, BSC).
A multi-chain is a blockchain that can provide users with multiple different access routes to the same smart contract. A protocol does not have to be a part of the original blockchain to become a multi-chain. It just has to have its own protocol as well as smart contracts and dApps.
A flurry of multi-chain protocols is propelling development forward. With the ability to tap into the same decentralized applications and tokens, each protocol is adding its own spin on how it will make blockchain useful.
So far, the number of core developers, as well as developer contributions, is on the rise across multi-chain technologies such as Polkadot, Cosmos, and Avalanche.
Polkadot, the next-generation base-layer protocol that facilitates interoperability among blockchain technology, has doubled its mark in its short period of existence.
This is a multi-chain protocol that provides cross-chain connectivity between different chains. It does this by allowing users to create and run their own blockchain, called parachains, that are linked to the main chain. The Polkadot protocol is decentralized in nature and operates with a Nominated proof-of-stake algorithm.
In essence:
"Polkadot consists of many parachains with potentially differing characteristics. Transactions can be spread out across the chains, allowing many more transactions to be processed in the same period of time."
What is special about polkadot?
Polkadot is a network protocol that supports the transmission of any type of data across blockchains, not only tokens. With Polkadot, applications get the best of both worlds: security from the robustness of the Ethereum ecosystem and performance from a true multi-chain architecture. This indicates that Polkadot is a fully functional multi-chain application environment, where cross-chain registries and cross-chain computations become a reality.
What's more?
Polkadot is built by an open-source community of developers and users. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the code, run a node, or build services on Polkadot. Grants are also available for qualifying parties.
Polkadot can be used to develop different types of decentralized applications. Some projects include:
The goal of this project is to "create an Internet of Blockchains, a network of blockchains able to communicate with each other in a decentralized way." Cosmos is, like Polkadot, a proof-of-stake network.
Cosmos is a new internet at the block level. It’s a network of blockchains that can talk to each other using Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC), through what we call “Peg Zones". Each blockchain can maintain its own tokens and operate independently.
Since its launch, hundreds of blockchains have been built with Cosmos technology, for example Cronos (from Crypto.com), Osmosis and dYdX. Not every project lasted: Terra (Luna), once one of the biggest Cosmos chains, collapsed in May 2022.
Within the Cosmos network, users can create and run services and applications on their own chain. Cosmos allows users to create their own token, or otherwise connect to other chains.
Avalanche is the third most popular multi-chain in the market, which is used by many projects. The Avalanche blockchain is "the fastest smart contracts platform in the blockchain industry" and in 2021 it supported up to 4,500 transactions per second.
Incentives such as private sales and grants might assist to stimulate developer interest. According to the Avalanche Foundation, 225 projects supported the platform in 2021. They include other blockchain projects like Tether, Chainlink, SushiSwap, Trader Joe, The Graph, Circle, etc.
After bitcoin, Ethereum is the second-largest cryptocurrency by market value, and it is the base for most smart contract apps. However, the blockchain has had some problems, such as scalability and high transaction fees. Until 2022 it also used a lot of energy, but in The Merge (September 15, 2022) Ethereum moved to proof of stake and cut its energy use by about 99.95%. These problems led to the rise of a wave of rivals known as "Ethereum killers".
Ethereum killers are projects that purport to do everything that Ethereum does but better.
There are many Ethereum killers in the market, but the following have been able to capture a majority of users’ interest:
Cardano is a fully open-source decentralized public blockchain and cryptocurrency project founded by Charles Hoskinson, former co-founder of Ethereum. It has taken a research-intensive approach to development, encouraging peer reviews and community participation before projects are implemented. This slowed things down, but Cardano’s smart contracts went live with the Alonzo upgrade in September 2021. It improves on Ethereum by allowing for greater scalability and improved efficiency with limited environmental impact.
Binance is popularly known as the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, but it is also moving into blockchain development. Binance Smart Chain, renamed BNB Smart Chain in 2022, is a separate blockchain that runs the same kind of smart contracts as Ethereum, with lower fees.
As a matter of fact (2021 figures): every second, BSC could handle an average of 55 to 60 transactions which translates to over 3.5 million transactions per day, which is above 1.1 million transactions for Ethereum.
BSC is like Ethereum, but with a different twist. It is similar to Ethereum in that it is a platform for hosting smart contracts and tokens. The blockchain’s key difference from Ethereum, however, is that project developers can connect with potential investors through the Binance trading platform which is a potent combination.
Solana is a public blockchain platform that uses proof of stake and proof of history to achieve consensus which makes it more energy-efficient and has better performance characteristics than the “proof of work” algorithm used by Bitcoin (and by Ethereum until 2022).
Solana can execute smart contracts in the same way as Ethereum. However, Solana may accommodate tens of thousands of transactions every second, whereas Ethereum’s main chain handles far fewer and has higher transaction "gas" fees. That is why most everyday Ethereum activity now runs on layer 2 networks.
Polygon is often listed with the Ethereum killers, but it is really a network that helps Ethereum scale. Apps run on Polygon with lower fees and still connect to Ethereum.
Polygon has reinvented itself as the "Ethereum's Internet of Blockchains." At its core, the Polygon platform functions as a software development kit (SDK) or a platform that allows developers to build and launch ready-made blockchain networks making it your quintessential multichain system.
Other Ethereum killers are EOS, Tron, Komodo, and Qtum, albeit seeing a decline in core development metrics.
DeFi is short for "decentralized finance" and it refers to any kind of decentralized blockchain-based financial network as well as software tools for generating such networks.
DeFi protocols are different from classical financial models in that they rely on open-source, community-driven development and the use of open standards.
DeFi is proving itself as a better alternative to traditional finance in that it is significantly more efficient, has lower transaction rates, and offers a wider investment diversification potential.
Decentralized finance protocols can enable a variety of online marketplaces that will provide users with the opportunity to trade, sell, and buy items and services the world over. These platforms will be able to handle transactions in both fiat and cryptocurrencies globally, across borders. They will also be able to handle peer-to-peer transactions such as freelancing gigs, digital collectibles such as NFTs (more of this later), or physical items such as apparel, electronics, real estate, and more.
Decentralized finance marketplaces will be able to do all these without the need for a middleman or a middle party, which will be able to change the face of eCommerce as we know it.
In 2021 there were about 234 DeFi protocols; today there are thousands. The majority are developed on Ethereum. However, there are also protocols developed on EOS (14) and Bitcoin (24). Examples of the most popular DeFi protocols:
Just a few years ago, the mainstream public was in a frenzy over Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. It seems that everyone in tech knows what a cryptocurrency is, even if they don't fully understand it. Now we have another new buzzword in town: non-fungible tokens, or NFTs.
NFTs are the Next Frontier of Innovation in Blockchain Technology. Short for Non-Fungible Tokens, NFTs represent unique assets or tokens on a blockchain. With NFTs, anything that can be digitized - gifs, images, recipes, birth certificates, etc. can be put onto a blockchain, creating new opportunities for trading and monetization.
The term "fungible" means that the things we're referring to, i.e. apples and oranges, can be freely substituted for each other and that their difference is insignificant. So, non-fungible tokens are different from that. They can't be substituted or replaced by another token, which makes them unique.
NFTs are created using smart contracts and have a built-in scarcity similar to collectibles and sports cards. They are the first of their kind to bring together aspects of both cryptocurrencies and collectibles.
In basic terms, NFTs are used to create digital assets with unique properties, which can be further traded or sold like you would any other asset with the exception that they are unique and virtual in nature. NFTs are used for a number of things, including creating digital assets to represent real-world items such as artworks, collectibles, real estate, and more. Consider these digital tokens as certificates that confer ownership or authenticity.
These are some of the best-known NFT projects. The NFT market is much smaller today than at its peak in 2021, so treat them as examples, not as investment tips:
Blockchain code is hard to change once it is live, and a single bug can lose real money. That is why the skills list is a bit different from a normal web developer:
For more detail, see our guide to blockchain developer skills.
A good CV and a nice interview don’t always mean the developer can do the job. In blockchain this matters even more, because mistakes are expensive. The best way to check is to see how they solve a real task. Here is a simple process:
| Question | A good answer shows |
|---|---|
| What is a reentrancy attack and how do you prevent it? | They know the most famous smart contract bug and update balances before sending money. |
| How do gas fees work, and how do you make a contract cheaper to use? | They think about the cost for users, not only about the code. |
| How do you upgrade a contract that is already live? | They know upgrade patterns and the risks they bring. |
| When would you build on a layer 2 instead of Ethereum itself? | They can explain the trade-off between cost, speed and security. |
| How do you test a smart contract before launch? | They write many tests, try to break their own code and plan for an audit. |
| Which parts of your last project did AI write, and how did you check them? | They use AI tools but still understand, test and own the code. |
With the EliteBrains AI skills assessment, you can send tasks like these to the candidates you like. Our AI checks their answers and code, so you only interview people who can really do the work. It costs $14.90 per candidate. For more ideas, see our blockchain interview questions. And because more and more code is written by AI, ask candidates to review AI code, not only to write their own.
In this day and age, where blockchain technology is just finding its feet in mainstream adoption, there are not many people who have developed an app or product on the blockchain, let alone use it.
Hiring a developer with experience in blockchain technology is not an easy feat either as there are not many people who have the requisite skills.
The best way to go about it is to find candidates who match your needs with AI sourcing, then test the ones you like with an AI skills assessment before you hire.
Startups and enterprises alike hire blockchain developers to realize their most ambitious ideas: from security protocols to decentralized exchanges, from supply chain solutions to prediction markets.
The right developer helps a company reshape the future of its industry - whether it is to create smart contracts with the best security or dApps that solve real-world problems. Agencies and talent marketplaces can find developers fast, but they usually add 15-50% on top of the developer’s rate.
Blockchain developers for hire usually work in one of three ways. Which one is best depends on how long you need them and how important the work is for your product.
| Freelance | Contract | Dedicated | |
|---|---|---|---|
| How long | A few hours or one project | A few months, part-time or full-time | Full-time and long-term, only on your product |
| Good for | A code review, one contract, a small fix | Building and launching your contracts and app | Your main product and its smart contracts |
| How you pay | Per hour or per project | Monthly invoice | Monthly, often a fixed amount |
| Legal risk | Low | Medium - the contract has to match how you really work together | Higher - long full-time work can look like employment |
Hiring a dedicated blockchain developer in another country is where many companies get stuck. You want someone full-time, but you don’t have a company in their country. With EliteBrains as your Contractor of Record, we sign the contract, take care of the legal side and pay the developer in their country. You don’t need to open a company there. If you want to sign the contract yourself, you can still pay international contractors through EliteBrains and keep contracts, timesheets and invoices in one place.
Blockchain development is hard work! With EliteBrains AI tools you find, check and hire blockchain developers yourself. You decide who you hire, and you never pay a commission on the developer’s rate. It works in four simple steps:
It depends mostly on where the developer lives, how senior they are and what kind of blockchain work you need. A senior freelance blockchain developer usually costs $65-$150 per hour in the US, $50-$95 in Eastern Europe, $45-$90 in Latin America and $35-$75 in South Asia. Smart contract auditors often charge more. With EliteBrains you pay the developer’s own rate and only the tools you use. There is no commission on top.
You can use talent marketplaces, agencies, crypto job boards, GitHub or your own network. Marketplaces and agencies are fast, but they add 15-50% to the rate. With EliteBrains AI sourcing, you tell us who you need and get up to 50 matching blockchain developers for $99. Then you contact the ones you like directly.
It depends on the blockchain. Solidity is the language for Ethereum and its layer 2 networks, BNB Smart Chain and other chains that run Ethereum-style smart contracts. Rust is used for Solana and some newer chains. Pick the chain first, then hire for its language.
If your contracts will hold real money, yes. Even good developers miss bugs, and smart contracts are hard to change once they are live. Plan an audit by a separate security team before launch, and budget time to fix what they find.
First look at their code on GitHub or contracts they deployed. Then give them a short real task, for example fixing a reentrancy bug or writing tests for a token contract. The EliteBrains AI skills assessment does this for you and checks the results for $14.90 per candidate.
A freelancer is great for a code review, one contract or a small fix. A dedicated blockchain developer is better when your product depends on its smart contracts and needs ongoing work. If the developer works full-time for you from another country, make sure the contract fits how you really work together, or hire through a Contractor of Record.
No. EliteBrains acts as Contractor of Record for $199 per contract per month. We sign the contract, handle the legal side and pay your developer in their country.
No. EliteBrains is software. You find, test and hire blockchain developers yourself, and you don’t pay any commission on their rate.
The EliteBrains network consists of developers whose software development skills are listed below:
