NFT: market
NFTs (non-fungible tokens) are digital assets on a blockchain: collections, in-game items, tickets, digital rights and tokenized objects. We track 96 open positions listing NFT, 94 of them fresh. Demand is small and concentrated in Web3 products: ERC-721 and ERC-1155 smart contracts, marketplaces, plus design and product roles. Most of the demand comes from Fullstack, Blockchain and Product roles. It most often appears next to Web3, Blockchain and DeFi. 60% of the postings allow fully remote work. Below is a live slice of NFT demand.
The NFT market currently has 96 open roles, 94 of them freshly observed. Observed candidate pool — 183.

Timeline: postings and sources
How many NFT postings appeared each week since 10 Aug, and from how many sources. The second line separates market growth from coverage growth: a jump in the week new sources were connected means we started seeing more, not that the market grew.
