The Crypto Pay Guide is a series of articles that will be authored and released by C3 over the coming weeks. Each article will cover a unique compensation topic, focusing specifically on practices for full-time web3 employees or contributors (referenced as “employees” for the remainder of this guide). These employees dedicate their entire capacity to a single organization and receive some form of fixed compensation for their service, whether that be an annual base salary or token award (e.g., front-end developer, UI designer, business development lead, Chief Technology Officer). This series will cover compensation for part-time contributors at decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) in a future installment.
