When writing this article, I have thought of countless answers, including project owners, investors, institutions, governments, etc., but in the end they cannot be separated from developers.
Someone said: "Developers are just the role of developing blockchain applications to make money."
In my opinion, this is just the bad feeling that some developers give to everyone in the current environment. Most developers are contributing a small part of their power to the blockchain world and preparing for the advent of the digital age.
I think developers are currently divided into four categories:
1• Leaders such as Satoshi Nakamoto, V God, BM, AC, they are all creative developers, mainly to lead everyone to gradually evolve with new models when the entire field is stagnant. For example, Satoshi Nakamoto allowed people to discover the blockchain through Bitcoin, God V created smart contracts through Ethereum, BM enabled people to discover the possibility of high TPS through EOS, and AC truly made people understand the contribution.
2• Innovative developers such as Gavin Wood, Aaron Davis, Juan Benet use the existing framework to solve the current pain points and help creators to further promote the infrastructure of the entire ecosystem. They are not creating a new way , But continue to improve under the existing facilities, and complete the second-tier infrastructure under the big framework.
3• Participating developers, they are the most indispensable part of this circle and contribute a part of their power to all projects. They can be developers of a certain project, node server, or post-service Providers, miners, etc., the only thing in common is that they use their own technical concepts to perfect the entire ecological construction, and help one project after another to grow and enter people's vision.
4• Industrial developers, they are called "chain circles". The rise and fall of currency prices has never been with them. Only the continuous landing and improvement of the industry is what they need. They may exist in some traditional industries. , Internet companies, but the ultimate industry trend is also closely related to them. Blockchain is so important, but speculation on the chain is meaningless.
These four types of people all have the necessity of their existence. It is because of them that the blockchain technology was born in the past ten years, and it is because of them that we can be known now. Many people think that the most important thing about blockchain is its financial properties. This is what it inherently has and cannot be changed. After the project is developed, more people need to recognize its value by holding it. But we It is precisely the point that is overlooked: if there is no project, how can one hold it?
I think that the center of the blockchain world is developers. Without developers, speculation is meaningless. When someone complains that The Graph is good for developers rather than investors, I want to ask if it is not a good developer. The application of the currency, has the currency price increased for a short time?
Everyone on the chain is in the era of coin speculation. There is no development, no innovation, and it is rebuilt every day. Will this continue? Certainly not. It is precisely because of these developers who are constantly shaping the entire ecological model that the blockchain is so well-known, they deserve to be called the "center of the blockchain world", or a block The core component of the chain.
"Code is law" has given new vitality to this digital age.
