Hello and welcome to Stack Overflow’s first Pulse survey. As we explained in the launch post for this year’s developer survey, we’re expanding beyond our annual magnum opus and checking in with our community more frequently. We’ll still be posting results from our Dev Survey each year, but we’ll also be hosting a number of smaller, more focused surveys asking developer questions on one specific topic.

Given the recent IPO of Coinbase and the enormous amount of activity occurring around cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and DeFi, we decided to center our first pulse survey around blockchain technologies. The data below is based on responses from 693 software developers to a survey conducted from May 5th to May 17th of 2021.

We presented respondents with a fairly binary choice here: game changer, all hype, or never heard of it. We’ll try to learn from that, and going forward will look to present a more neutral option as well.
