FAQ
Is web3 PM a real career in 2026?
Smaller than during the 2021 peak but real. Survivors are working on stablecoin payments, on-chain identity, tokenised assets, and DeFi with better UX. Compensation is competitive; risk profile is higher (regulatory, market volatility). Best for PMs who can tolerate uncertainty and genuinely understand the tech.
