Hiring guide

What to look for in a Blockchain freelancer

A strong blockchain developer understands the whole stack, from the chain up to the wallet in a user's hand. Look for:

  • Depth in at least one ecosystem: EVM, Solana, or Cosmos, rather than a shallow tour of all of them.
  • Contract and app fluency, so on-chain logic and the frontend that calls it actually fit together.
  • A grasp of finality and gas: how confirmations, fees, and reorgs shape user experience.
  • Security instincts around key management, signing, and the trust assumptions in every integration.
  • Shipped, usable products, not just whitepapers or testnet demos that never went live.

Have the candidate explain a tradeoff they made between decentralization, cost, and speed. The honest answer reveals real experience.
