  • Based in Nigeria, I want to start freelancing globally, targeting blockchain projects from the USA and Canada. My experience includes two years in Python development and three years as a full-time Rust developer. Setting the right rates feels challenging.

    • What factors should I consider when deciding between hourly and project-based pricing?

    • How do experienced freelancers determine competitive rates while ensuring fair compensation?

    Looking for insights on pricing strategies, negotiation tips, and market trends.

    Charge hourly for long-term or evolving projects and use fixed pricing for well-defined tasks. Mid-level Rust developers usually charge $50–$100 per hour, while senior developers go beyond $150. Research Upwork, Toptal, and agency rates to stay competitive.

    For fixed pricing, break work into milestones and factor in security, gas optimizations, and maintenance. Smart contract audits, DeFi integrations, and NFT platforms require different pricing models. US and Canadian clients prefer clear pricing and reliable timelines.

    Justify higher rates by showcasing past projects, security expertise, and problem-solving skills. Tie pricing to value—cost savings, security, and performance. Low rates attract low-quality clients. Set a price that reflects your skills.
