    What’s the right way to write a good cover letter when applying for a job in blockchain?
    Should I focus more on the tech I’ve worked with or show my enthusiasm for the space?
    I’d love to know what hiring managers in Web3 actually care about when they read a cover letter.

    For context—I’m a recent computer science grad applying to junior blockchain developer positions. I’ve done a couple internships where I worked with Solidity and contributed to some DeFi projects on GitHub. My resume’s in good shape, but I’m just not sure how to craft a cover letter that really gets attention in the blockchain industry.

    Any tips, examples, or advice would really help. Appreciate it!

    That’s a great question, and it’s smart that you’re thinking carefully about how to approach your cover letter for blockchain roles. A lot of people skip the cover letter or just repeat what’s on their resume, but in Web3, a good cover letter can actually help you stand out. Since you’re applying for junior blockchain developer positions, I’d recommend focusing on two big things: showing your hands-on experience and showing your genuine interest in the space. It’s definitely important to highlight the tech you’ve worked with — like your Solidity experience and your DeFi GitHub contributions — because hiring managers want to know you can contribute from day one. But just as important is showing your enthusiasm for blockchain. Web3 companies really care about passion; they want people who are excited about decentralization, open finance, DAOs, or whatever niche they’re working in. When you write the letter, try to speak directly to the company you’re applying to. Mention why you’re interested in what they’re building, whether it’s the tech, the mission, or the team. This helps show that you’re not just mass-applying but that you’ve taken time to understand their work. Also, don’t overthink the length. A good cover letter doesn’t need to be long — three or four short paragraphs are usually plenty. Hiring managers are busy, so keeping it clear and to the point goes a long way.
