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.

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, and the Philippines. 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.
