 <p class="is-style-lead">Solana’s developer retention soared to 50%, with global expansion, diverse hackathon participation, and SOL’s impressive 1,000% gain marking 2023.</p> 
 <p>In 2023, the Solana ecosystem experienced a significant boost in developer retention, surging from 31% to over 50% in a three-month period, as reported by the Solana Foundation. This improvement was attributed to enhanced developer onboarding processes and increased opportunities within the ecosystem.</p>

 <p>The evaluation of retention rates focused on developers who consistently made at least one commit over three consecutive months. Notably, 400-500 Solana developers graduated from various bootcamps every six months, contributing to a 500% growth in job listings throughout the year.</p> 
 <p>GitHub data revealed that the improved <a rel="dofollow" title="retention" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/retention.html">retention</a> rate led to a consistent monthly active <a rel="dofollow" title="developer" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/developer.html">developer</a> count ranging from 2,500 to 3,000 within the Solana <a rel="dofollow" title="ecosystem" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/ecosystem.html">ecosystem</a> in 2023. The foundation highlighted advancements in tooling for multiple programming languages and additional educational resources as key factors contributing to the positive trend, while acknowledging areas like testing and debugging for potential improvement.</p>
