This page collects Web3 and crypto salaries for the roles most often advertised on Find Web3: engineering, security and data, product and design, marketing, sales and recruiting, and the operations, finance, compliance, legal and trading roles that a crypto company needs as much as it needs developers. Each role page shows a median, a middle range, a split by seniority and the listings the figures came from, all built from the pay employers state in their own job ads.
Listings quoted in dollars are counted, along with the ones that state a figure without naming a currency, since the board's pay lines are overwhelmingly in dollars; euro and pound figures are left out. Hourly and monthly rates are annualized so everything compares. The figures update daily as new listings arrive. Plenty of employers never publish a range, so these numbers lean toward companies that do: read them as a guide to what is being advertised, not a market average.
Does Web3 pay well?
Advertised pay for engineering roles in Web3 is competitive with other specialized software work, though it varies widely by seniority, employer and location. The medians on this page show what employers are putting in their own listings, which is the most direct answer available. Token grants and equity are common on top of base salary in crypto and are not included in these figures.
How are these salary figures calculated?
We read the pay employers state in their own listings on Find Web3, keep the ones in dollars or with no currency marked, and annualize hourly and monthly rates. From those we take a median and the middle of the range for each role, then rebuild the numbers daily. Listings that state no pay are left out entirely.
Why do salary ranges vary so much?
One job title covers wide ground in crypto. Seniority, whether the role touches funds directly, company stage and funding, and the country a remote worker is paid from all move the figure. Some employers post a single global band while others pay by local market. Comparing the role pages under /salaries shows where those differences fall.
Which Web3 roles are missing from this page?
A role gets a page here once enough listings state their pay for a median to mean something. Community management, developer relations and protocol research are all advertised on the board, but too few of those ads name a figure, so there is no page rather than a number nobody should quote. They are checked again every time the pages are rebuilt.
