DeFi Engineers’ Salaries Remain High Amid Market Volatility

Despite economic volatility and diminishing public interest, salaries for decentralized finance (DeFi) engineers remain robust, according to a study by Durlston Partners. Average salaries ranged from £100,000 to £125,000 in 2021 and 2022, peaking at £142,500 in Q4 2022. A small talent pool of DeFi engineers commands high compensation, even during downturns. The study predicts steady salary growth in 2023, with DeFi engineers becoming increasingly scarce and highly sought-after resources, potentially indicating a positive future for the DeFi sector.
