What to look for in a Smart Contracts freelancer
A strong smart contract developer writes as if every function will be attacked, because on a public chain it will be. Look for:
- Adversarial thinking: they reason about how a contract can be drained, not just how it should behave.
- Rigorous testing, with high coverage, invariant tests, and edge cases written before deployment.
- Standards fluency: ERC token standards, OpenZeppelin libraries, and known safe patterns.
- Audit experience, either producing reviews or shipping code that has passed one.
- Verified deployments you can read on-chain, showing the work is real and public.
Ask how they would handle an upgrade after a bug is found in production. The plan they describe tells you how carefully they build in the first place.
