Demand is off the charts for blockchain talent, and the capital is waiting to back it up. More than $3.7 billion has been raised through ICOs in the United States alone. Blockchain-related jobs are the second-fastest growing in today’s labor market; there are now 14 job openings for every one blockchain developer. And as Nick Szabo, the developer who coined “smart contracts,” pointed out, there is an extreme “ $/knowledge ” ratio in the blockchain space, where capital by far outpaces talent. Today,  Toptal , a marketplace for on-demand tech talent, is publicly launching their  blockchain engineering talent vertical  out of private beta. In today’s software development landscape, Toptal represents about 50 percent of on-demand engineering labor by revenue. Requests for on-demand blockchain talent are skyrocketing. Last year, freelance talent marketplace  Upwork  saw blockchain rise to the fastest-growing skill out of more than 5,000 skills in terms of free...
