For Sale What Should I Look for When Hiring an ERC-20 Developer?

[Techzarinfo]

I’m looking for someone to help with a new blockchain project, but I’m not sure what skills I should check before hiring a developer.

Obviously, I want someone who understands Ethereum and smart contracts, but I also want to make sure they understand token transfers, wallet integration, testing, deployment, and common security problems.

Another thing I’m wondering about is whether one developer can handle the entire project or whether it is better to have separate people for smart contracts, frontend development, backend development, and security testing.

If you have hired an erc20 developer before, what did you check before making your decision? Did you focus more on previous blockchain projects, technical skills, or experience with similar business use cases?

What to check when hiring an ERC-20 dev

Ask for verifiable work: contract addresses on Etherscan, GitHub repos, and a short walkthrough of what they built (mint/burn, pausable, roles, vesting, fees, upgradeability). They should be fluent with OpenZeppelin, events, decimals, allowances, and edge cases (deflationary tokens, blacklists, transfer hooks). Require a clear testing approach (Foundry/Hardhat),coverage targets, and a deployment plan (testnets, mainnet, verification, multisig ownership, timelocks).

Security is where projects fail. Expect them to talk confidently about re-entrancy, access control, integer/rounding issues, upgrade risks, and admin key management. Budget for an independent audit if real value is at stake.

One dev can ship a basic MVP, but for anything commercial it’s usually better split: smart contract engineer + front end (wallets) + back end/indexing + separate security reviewer.
