How Scoring Works

NextCryptoJob gives you a score from 0 to 100 for each role you choose. This page says where the number comes from and what to do if it looks wrong.

In short

What we look at

SourceWhat we measure
XFollowers; reactions to your own posts; views; replies; how often you post. Well-known crypto accounts that follow you count in Reputation only
GitHubPull requests merged into other people's projects; stars on your own projects; reviews; commits in the last 12 months; projects with a live site. Followers count in Reputation only
Wallets: Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, SolanaWallet age; transactions; networks used; swaps
HyperliquidRecent trades and volume
YouTubeSubscribers; views of recent videos; how often you publish
Your websitePosts in the feed, recent posts and pages in the sitemap. A site with no content adds nothing
Audit contests and DuneFound by your GitHub or X. You do not add them

For GitHub we also count your team's repositories: a repository you do not own where you made at least 20 commits counts like your own work. A repository where you are the only person (your own organisation, a second account) does not count as work for others. On wallets we count only what your own address signed, so incoming spam adds nothing.

Links to your work that you add in your profile are shown to companies, but they do not change your score: we cannot check them.

We count reactions to your posts. We do not judge what you write, and we store counts and dates, not the content. We never look at your age, gender, nationality or photo, at your profit and loss, or at how much money sits in your wallets.

How the number is built

Your score has three layers. Together they can pass 100, so the total is capped at 100.

  1. Work, up to 60. Each role has its main sources. An engineer is measured mainly on GitHub, a trader on trading, media roles on X or YouTube. Some roles use two.
  2. Reputation, up to 25. The same for every role: how many well-known crypto accounts follow you on X, or your GitHub followers, whichever counts for more. Connecting X never lowers it.
  3. Breadth, up to 20. Everything else you connect counts: every other source adds up to 5 points, and breadth stops at 20.
  4. A role needs its main source. Without it we show "not enough data" instead of a low score.
  5. Missing is not zero. A source that does not answer or has too little data is shown as a gap, with the reason. A source you did not connect never takes points away.
  6. Big numbers are compressed. Going from 0 to 1,000 followers counts more than going from 100,000 to 101,000. Scales are set so the strongest people in the industry land at 90 to 100.
  7. We test a formula before switching it on, against a reference set of people whose level was judged by hand.

Roles

Ten roles are scored: Engineer, Security auditor, DevRel, Data and research, Product or project manager, BD and partnerships, Marketing and content, Creator or KOL, Community and Trader. Each has its own main sources.

Five roles are not scored: Designer, Operations and support, Finance, Legal and compliance, and HR and recruiting. Public data cannot show your skill in them yet, so we show "Not scored: no public proof for this role yet" instead of a number. You still get jobs for these roles, matched to your own words.

Level and coverage

Your level is 1 to 10: the score divided by 10, rounded down, plus 1. A score of 67 is level 7. Next to the score we show coverage: how much of the role's main part rests on real data. Connecting more sources raises it.

Your score page shows the score for each role, every source with its weight and points, the reason for any gap, the formula version, and what you could connect to show more.

Refresh and limits

We reread your sources about once a week, and your score changes when your public activity changes or when we release a new formula version. Known limits: selling tokens you received as a gift can count as a swap, and we do not resolve ENS or SNS names, so paste the address.
