Solidity developers in the US charge roughly $50 to $160 per hour on vetted marketplaces, with agencies billing $140 to $250. Full-time base salaries typically fall between $120,000 and $200,000. Smart-contract code is unforgiving: deployed bugs can be exploited rather than patched, so the market pays for demonstrated security judgment above all else.
