    The term "Web3" is so broad. When a job description asks for "Web3 experience", what core concepts are they actually testing for?

    I’m prepping for some Web3 interviews and honestly, I’m not always sure what recruiters mean by “Web3 basics.” If you’ve been through the process or are working in the space, I’d love to hear your take.

    • What are the must-know Web3 basics that interviewers actually care about?

    • How deep do I need to go with decentralization concepts—are they looking for theory, or real project experience?

    • Which tools or languages should I focus on to show I’m ready for a Web3 developer role?

    If you have any stories or tips from your own interviews, please share! Thanks a ton—trying to get a clearer picture before I walk into my next round.

    When employers ask for “Web3 experience” in job descriptions, they’re really testing your grasp of blockchain fundamentals, hands-on smart contract skills, and your ability to build or interact with decentralized applications. As someone who’s sat on multiple recruiter panels, I can tell you that interviewers expect more than just buzzwords—they want to see practical, real-world understanding.

    Here’s what typically comes up in Web3 interviews:

    Blockchain & Decentralization: Can you clearly explain how decentralization works, what consensus mechanisms are (like Proof of Work vs. Proof of Stake), and why these matter for transparency and security?

    Smart Contract Development: Do you have experience writing, testing, and deploying smart contracts (usually in Solidity)? Expect questions about security best practices and common vulnerabilities.

    Web3 Tech Stack: Are you comfortable building or integrating dApps using tools like Web3.js, Ethers.js, and connecting with wallets? Understanding frontend-backend integration is key.

    DeFi & Tokenomics: Even if you’re not applying for a DeFi role, employers look for knowledge of liquidity pools, staking, and token economics.

    Security Mindset: Can you spot and prevent vulnerabilities? Security is always a hot topic.

    Soft Skills: Communication, teamwork, and adaptability are valued, especially as Web3 teams are often global and remote.

    Bottom line: “Web3 experience” means being hands-on with blockchain tech, not just knowing definitions. If you can demonstrate these core skills with practical examples, you’ll stand out in any Web3 interview.
