From blockchain developer to blockchain architect
30 of the 46 essential skills of a blockchain architect are already essential for a blockchain developer — about 65% of the job, before you learn anything new. It is the closest move from blockchain developer in the whole taxonomy.
These numbers compare two occupations, not you and a job. What you personally already cover depends on what you have actually done.
