In the crypto industry, compensation has always been one of the most frequently discussed topics that is difficult to draw reliable conclusions about. Whether it’s founders establishing internal compensation frameworks or candidates evaluating whether an offer is reasonable, the reality often lacks data support. Industry discussions often rely on scattered case studies, anonymous sharing, or emotional judgments, rather than a universal compensation structure.
Against this backdrop, top crypto venture capital firm Dragonfly released its first annual crypto industry compensation report in 2023, summarizing a broad survey to provide a universal set of crypto compensation data. Two months ago, Dragonfly released the 2025 version. This report collected feedback from 85 crypto companies and, for the first time, expanded the research scope beyond Dragonfly’s portfolio to include other companies, making the data more representative of the true landscape.
