What do cryptocurrency developers earn?..
Cryptocurrency developers earn money in various ways, depending on the type of project. Here are the *main ways* to earn:
💼 1. *Own tokens (pre-allocation)*
- Many developers receive a portion of the tokens at the beginning of the project (e.g., 5% to 20% of the total supply).
- If the token appreciates in the market, they can *sell part for profit*.
*Example:* If a token launched at US0.001 rises to US 0.01, the dev has already multiplied the value by 10x.
💰 2. *Network or protocol fees*
- Projects like DEXs, staking platforms, or blockchains charge *fees on each transaction*.
- Part of these fees *goes to the development team*.
📈 3. *Token sales during presales/ICOs*
- Before the public launch, devs sell tokens at low prices to raise funds.
- This is a direct way to make money and fund the project.
💸 4. *Venture Capital investments*
- Some developers receive *funding from institutional investors*, who bet on the project's success.
🧠 5. *Salaries or consulting*
- In large projects, devs may have *fixed salaries paid by the foundation* or DAO.
- They can also be hired by other crypto startups as *freelancers or consultants*.
⚠️ Attention:
Some developers earn *honestly*, but others create projects just to *earn and disappear (scams or rug pulls)*. It's always worth investigating the team, the whitepaper, and the reputation.
