Blockchain development is in no doubt a very exciting journey to venture into .
It could be a little bit tedious to go into if you are not properly guided on the paths to follow,before that I will be showing you the two types of Blockchain developers out there.
core Blockchain developer
DApp developer
Core Blockchain development
In core development, the developer writes the code for a blockchain client. Low-level programming languages are used in writing blockchain clients.
These include C, C++, Golang and Rust. In core development, you need to know the operating system of a computer, file system, and networking. However, core development is not for the faint of heart.
It takes time, practice, and commitment
DApp developer
Blockchain app development is what most blockchain developers do and it is what most people usually refer to when they mention blockchain development. In blockchain app development, we build apps on top of a blockchain client instead of creating a whole blockchain from scratch.
With the little that has been mentioned we could now move on the salaries of a Blockchain developer....
Salary Expectations.
As of Feb 28, 2022, the average annual pay for a Blockchain Developer in the United States is $154,550 a year.
Technology stacks needed to be a Ethereum Blockchain developer.

- Frontend development
- Backend development
3 Smart contract development
- Solidity
4 Truffle (a framework for creating DApps)
Ethereum Blockchain Development.
it is recommended that you get started with the Ethereum blockchain as it is very popular and other promising blockchains such as the Binance smart chain and the Tron blockchain are based on the Ethereum technology.
Web development
One mistake that most newbies make is to dive straight into smart contracts without having a technical background in web development. Blockchain technologies are built on top of web technologies and so before you get deep into blockchain development you need to understand the fundamental concepts of web development.
There is necessarily no need to learn backend development just the basics of html, css and JavaScript is enough to get you going.
Smart Contract development
In simpler terms, a smart contract is a program that lives on top of the blockchain and constitutes a set of rules agreed upon by the involved parties.
The language for writing smart contract in Ethereum Blockchain varies ...
We have
viper
Solidity
But I would recommend solidity as it is more popular in the industry
Truffle
This is a framework that helps connect your front end application to your smart contract code.
Becoming a blockchain developer takes a lot of practice and commitment. It requires creativity to implement the concepts in code.
Wish you success in your journey ❤️
