Report: Ethereum core developers are paid less than half of the market

According to ChainCatcher, according to CryptoSlate, Protocol Guild's latest compensation report shows that most core Ethereum developers are paid less than half of the market level. The survey collected responses from 111 people in 190 members of 11 organizations, and the results showed that the average Ethereum core contributor earned $157,939, about 60% lower than the $359,074 market compensation offered by competing companies. The report notes that nearly 40% of respondents received final job invitations from other companies in the past year, but many core contributors still chose to reject high-paying positions to focus on maintaining the Ethereum network. The Protocol Guild report warns that such underpayment poses a long-term risk to blockchain networks and may threaten talent retention and technology roadmap execution, which in turn affects the trustworthiness neutrality of the $400 billion network.
