How much Solidity developers charge?

Solidity was initially proposed in 2014 and developed by the Ethereum Project. It is a contract-oriented programming language for writing and implementing smart contracts on various blockchain platforms. While it is one of four languages designed to target the Ethereum Virtual Machine, it is currently the primary language on Ethereum. Freelance Solidity developers, on average, charge $81-100 per hourly.

For Solidity jobs, a developer may charge differently based on the expected duration of your job. Solidity developers may charge a higher rate for short-term contracts or freelancing roles, while they may charge less in exchange for more work flexibility (e.g. remote) and benefits.

Kevin T.
Senior Solidity developer

Full stack, mobile app, hardware engineer and blockchain developer. Certified PMP with a decade of proven software development leadership. I'm your one-stop-shop for advanced technologies! It was through a combination of The Audio Recording Academy ([TARA.ca](http://tara.ca/)), Ottawa Community Loan Fund ([OCLF.org](http://oclf.org/)), Invest Ottawa ([InvestOttawa.ca](http://investottawa.ca/)), N-VisionIT ([betterwebsites.ca](http://betterwebsites.ca/)), Carleton University ([carleton.ca](http://carleton.ca/)) and many others that I have built the breadth of skills needed to provide high quality mentorship to my students. I'm very happy to have the resources necessary to excel at my job teaching and helping people get their projects finished. Among other great experiences; I was lucky to spend 5 years working with 2 former winners of Top 40 Under 40 awards (as ranked by the Ottawa Business Journal) as a project manager and lead developer within a contract web and mobile applications development firm. While as a CodeMentor on this platform it's important that I've spent years working remotely with many teams of skilled developers, designers and system administrators to build a wide variety of tools for solving specific business challenges there's more to the story. I've also worked with musicians, event planners, studio managers and other artistic types in a wholly creative setting. While I do help with building marketing, sales and promotional websites my preference is for complex systems with multiple stakeholders exchanging highly detailed data. When these systems are designed and integrated really well – the labor savings or increased insights for the involved organizations can be huge. Above it all; I'm a maker looking for a challenge. I have built Arduino microcontrollers speaking Bluetooth to native Android applications, set up commercial websites using all sorts of different CMS systems, set up hybrid web apps compiling to either iOS or Android, programmed a variety of non-trivial smart contracts and all sorts of complicated combinations of the above. Lately; my work day typically consists of working directly with clients who are trying to solve a specific business concern or a hobbyist/entrepreneur working on a passion project. Often they just don't have the on-hand skillset to get it done and need a flexible helper who can step into many different rolls as needed for a project. You'll find that if we can agree on a project scope, price and deliverables that I'm very passionate about achieving the deadlines we agree on. I've worked separately as both lead developer on complex projects and project manager on similarly complex projects. This allows me to confidently estimate for how long work is likely to take. I try to provide buffer time for delays or mistakes; but if time does run low or there are competing objectives I make sure they're communicated early and risk points are identified. During the academic season I like having the opportunity to work with new developers where I can help them to either understand then solve a problem or get an unnecessary roadblock out of the way so they can get back to solving the problem rather than fighting one of the many frustrations of learning how to think like a programmer. I look forward to hearing more about your project and discussing how I can help make it into a reality.

How to negotiate Solidity developer hourly rates?

Whether you already have a development team or want to build a new one, hiring a skilled freelance Solidity developer can help accelerate your projects. The key factor when considering a freelance Solidity developer is your budget – how much you have and how much you're willing to invest. The hourly rates of Solidity developers can vary based on their location and your project's scope.

Let's begin with location. Hiring remote developers offers the advantage of choosing from various geographic locations and time zones that align with your project requirements. For instance, if most of your development team is based in North America, you might want to explore freelance Solidity developers in the United States, Canada, or Mexico for better worktime overlap. On the other hand, if you're on a tighter budget, consider working with freelance Solidity developers in South American countries like Argentina, Brazil, or Colombia, or in Asian countries like India, the Philippines, and Malaysia. Hiring freelance developers outside North America often allows for negotiation of lower Solidity developer hourly rates.

Another significant factor influencing the Solidity developer hourly rate is your project's scope. Typically, more complex projects mean higher overall costs. However, if you plan to engage with your freelance developer for an extended period, you can discuss a reduced Solidity developer hourly rate. Providing freelance developers with a consistent flow of projects incentivizes them to lower their hourly rates.

To accurately determine the total cost, have a detailed discussion about your project with your freelance developer. Ensure you convey your ideas comprehensively, which will enable your freelance developer to provide a precise Solidity developer hourly rate estimate. While estimating development timelines can be challenging for lengthy coding projects, offering the developer as much detail as possible will help align the estimate closely with the actual cost.
