Salary methodology

Salary context without fake precision.

Web3 compensation changes by geography, level, employment model, company stage, token or equity, and market cycle. KRAFT shows a number only when the evidence can support it.

Evidence tiers

Direct role-specific evidence; adjacent-role evidence; broad Web3 market evidence; unverified estimate.

Confidence

High: several matching current listings. Medium: limited direct evidence plus strong adjacent context. Low: mostly adjacent or mixed markets. Very low: no reliable role-specific evidence.

Display rules

High and medium may show numeric ranges with caveats. Low usually shows evidence context. Very low states that a reliable range is unavailable.

Compensation components

Separate base cash, bonus, commission, equity, token, vesting, contractor rate, retainer, bounty, royalty, grant, and creator revenue.

What never happens

No fabricated range for layout consistency. No conversion of US remote pay into a local promise. No use of validator rewards, creator sales, or trading bonuses as standard salary.
