The results from our sixth annual developer survey are live. 1,095 developers from 87 countries responded.
The full interactive report has 60 charts covering demographics, tooling, pain points, AI usage, Core Solidity, and cross-analysis by experience level: Solidity Developer Survey 2025 Results | Solidity Programming Language
A few things that stood out:
- Stack-too-deep remains the #1 pain point, and it hits experienced developers hardest (65% of experts vs 25% of beginners)
- 88% use AI tools at least monthly, but 45% express distrust in the output
- Foundry grew from 51% to 57%. One Truffle user remains.
- Only 30% of respondents are familiar with Core Solidity
- 73% say DevEx has improved (up from 67% in 2024)
- Debugging is painful across all experience levels, regardless of tooling

We’d love to hear your thoughts. If anything in the results surprises you, or if you have feedback on how we can improve the survey next year, this thread is a good place for that.
