    Remote and Contract Rates

    Remote: add 0–15% for candidates in high-cost areas. Contract rates: 1.5–2× annual salary equivalent divided by 2080 hours.

      Technical deliverables

      • › Auditable smart contract source code (verifiable)
      • › Test suite with CI integration
      • › Deployment scripts and infra as code
      • › Monitoring dashboard and runbooks

      Integrations

      Common integrations: The Graph, Alchemy/Infura, OpenZeppelin Defender, and popular wallet providers.

      Frequently asked questions

      Having participations or findings in Code4rena is a strong positive signal — it means they have been reviewing real production code in competitive environments. However: audit participation is not equivalent to shipping production code. Look for both: C4 participation shows security knowledge; deployed mainnet contracts with real usage show shipping ability.
