Hire pre-vetted Solidity Developers

What good is a security audit if the exploit still gets through? CoinGecko's 2026 State of Crypto Security Report found that protocols which had already been audited before they were hacked accounted for 88 percent of the $3.63 billion stolen across 245 incidents since January 2025. An audit is a snapshot of the code at one point in time. The developer who actually writes and maintains the contract is the one who has to catch what changes after that snapshot, and that takes a different skill than knowing Solidity syntax.

Solidity mistakes are expensive in a way most bugs aren't

A backend engineer who has read the Solidity docs can compile a contract that passes every test and still lose a treasury on day two, because the language has no undo button once code goes live on mainnet. Every function that moves value needs someone who has already reasoned through reentrancy, access control, and oracle manipulation before a single line reaches a testnet, not after a user reports a drained wallet. Cortance connects you with pre-vetted Solidity developers through an AI-powered matching system that reviews your requirements and returns a shortlist fast, sourced across Europe, Latin America, and Asia so you are not limited to whoever happens to be available in your own time zone. Rates for our middle to senior Solidity engineers start around $37 an hour, with verified profiles shown upfront before any interview.

Most developers in the pool pair Solidity with Hardhat or Foundry for testing and OpenZeppelin for audited base contracts instead of hand-rolled token logic, plus Chainlink where a project needs price feeds or other oracle data on chain. A number also carry working Rust or Go, useful once a roadmap needs an off-chain indexer or a bridge to a non-EVM chain running alongside the contracts themselves.

Has your last Solidity hire ever actually caught a vulnerability before it shipped?

A few of the specific engineers you could be matched with, not a placeholder team:

On a recent engagement, Cyber Unit, Ilya Berdar worked as a Smart Contract Security Auditor across DeFi protocols and EVM-based applications, analyzing contracts for vulnerabilities and mapping out attack vectors before any of it reached production. He runs an AI-assisted static-analysis pass first, flagging patterns such as unchecked external calls and unusual permission logic, then spends his own review time on the exploit paths a scanner cannot reason about by itself, the kind of manual judgment that separates an audit that catches a real bug from one that just produces a clean report.

1. Alexandros Athanasopoulos, Senior Blockchain Engineer in Athens with 7 years centered on Solidity and EVM contract work, backed by a Blockchain and Cryptocurrency industry background.
2. Oleh Chyhrin, Blockchain Software Developer in Kyiv with 3.5 years focused on Solidity, comfortable carrying a contract from first draft through testnet deployment without handing it off midway.

Start with the vetting, not the resume

Every developer in the pool clears the same bar before you see a profile: a live code review and a reference check, plus for security-focused roles a look at real audit work rather than a line that just says security-minded. Read more about our vetting process if you want the specifics. Depending on where you are in the build, that can mean:

1. A single senior Solidity engineer to design tokenomics or review an existing contract before a mainnet deploy.
2. A dedicated team to take a DeFi protocol or NFT platform from architecture through launch.
3. Solidity staff augmentation to speed up a wallet, bridge, or exchange feature that's already mid-build.

Still deciding whether the role needs a Solidity specialist or a broader blockchain generalist? Our guide to hiring blockchain developers walks through that split and the interview questions that expose the difference.
