How much do web3 jobs pay?

Those numbers describe the jobs that show pay, not the whole market: 823 of 2,431 open listings (34%) publish a range, and one company, Coinbase, posts close to a quarter of them.

How much do web3 jobs pay by seniority?

Midpoints of annual US dollar ranges, with the number of listings and of companies behind each row:

Pay rises with seniority, and each row rests on 15 to 59 companies. Internships are missing from the table: the ones that show pay quote an hourly rate.

Does web3 pay well?

For the roles that publish a range, yes: the lowest minimum is $10,000 and the median minimum is $170,000. Two facts keep that from being a market average.

One company posts the most. Coinbase posts 188 of the 823 ranges (23%). Coinbase, Ripple and Polymarket together post 293 (36%). Without Coinbase, 581 annual US dollar ranges from 79 companies remain, and the median midpoint moves only from $195k to $191.5k. At senior level: $192k with Coinbase, $188.5k without.

Most ranges are American. 628 of the 700 annual US dollar ranges are for roles in the United States, so these figures say little about Europe or Asia.

Do remote web3 jobs pay less?

Not in the published ranges. The median midpoint is $196k for 319 remote listings, $182k for 120 hybrid and $198k for 261 on-site.

Why don't more web3 jobs show a salary?

Because few places require it. New York City requires a good-faith minimum and maximum in ads for jobs performed there, and in the non-technical sample 173 of the 447 ranges are for roles in New York (see non-technical web3 jobs). Where no rule applies, most companies leave pay to the interview.

What a published range does not tell you

• It is an offer band, not a pay stub. Companies publish what they are prepared to pay; the final number depends on the candidate.
• Tokens, equity and bonuses are left out. In web3 they can be a large part of the package, or none of it. All 823 ranges are in fiat (mostly US dollars, plus euros, Canadian dollars, pounds, UAE dirhams, Indian rupees and Singapore dollars), and none says what share is paid in crypto.
• The period matters. 32 ranges are hourly and one is monthly; they are not in the figures above.

How to use these numbers

Compare a range with others at the same level and in the same country, never with the overall median. Ask early whether the range covers base pay only, and how tokens or equity are valued.

For live figures by role, region and seniority, use the web3 salaries page, where each figure shows how many listings it comes from; the non-tech salaries page applies the same method to other roles. To see only listings that publish pay, use the salary filter on the job board.
