Developer Joy: The Only Metric That Matters
2025-09-04 , Baltic Stage

All crypto projects are chasing metrics. From TVL to contracts deployed to active wallets to yaps and everything in between. We are constantly measuring, comparing and tweeting graphs out to have some feeling of growth and adoption. But what if what we are measuring is sending us in the wrong direction?

In this talk, we are going to ignore the charts and numbers and focus on what thing: Developer Joy. You will learn what it is, why it matters and how you can create it to enable your projects to have the adoption and growth they deserve.
