Careers

TokenSpin does not have a list of open roles right now, and we are not going to invent one to fill this page. What we can do is describe honestly the kind of person the desk is built around, so that if that description fits you, you know the door is worth knocking on.

We are a small, independent publication covering crypto rewards, airdrops and scams. That means most of the work is unglamorous: reading primary sources, checking whether a claim page is really run by the project it says it is, and writing the result in language a tired person on a phone can follow.

The kind of work this is

Almost everything we publish comes down to three tasks repeated carefully. Tracing a claim back to its origin — the project’s own announcement, the contract, the on-chain record — rather than to another article repeating it. Explaining risk in plain terms, including the risks that are boring, like lock-up periods and unclear custody. And recognising a scam pattern early, often from nothing more than a domain registered last week and a countdown timer.

None of that requires a finance background. It requires patience and a habit of asking where a number came from.

People we would want to hear from

• Researchers who chase primary sources. If your instinct on reading a claim is to find the original announcement rather than a summary of it, you already work the way we do.
• Writers who can explain risk without hedging it into fog. Saying “this may carry risk” helps nobody. Saying what could go wrong, how likely it is and what it would cost you does.
• People who spot scam patterns. Fake support accounts, cloned claim pages, drainer approvals, impersonated project branding. If you have seen these often enough to recognise the shape of them, that is a rare and useful eye.
• Anyone comfortable reading on-chain data. Block explorers, contract verification, token distribution. Not as a specialism necessarily — just enough to check rather than assume.
• Editors who enforce a standard. Someone willing to send a piece back because the evidence is thin is worth more to a publication like this than someone who ships fast.

How we work

We publish under a collective byline, the TokenSpin editorial desk, rather than building personal brands. Our editorial guidelines set out the standards every piece is held to, and how we vet explains the process behind every entry on the Rewards Radar. Reading both will tell you more about the day-to-day than any job description would.

One thing worth being clear about: nothing we publish is for sale. Listings, ratings and warnings are not influenced by commercial relationships, and anyone working with us has to be comfortable telling a project no. Our advertising policy describes where that line sits.

Getting in touch

Because there is no specific vacancy, there is no application process to point you at. When contact routes for the desk are published on the contact page, that will be the way to introduce yourself. A short note about what you have actually done — a piece of research, a scam you unpicked, something you wrote that made a complicated thing simple — is far more persuasive here than a formal CV.

If a role does open, it will be described on this page in plain terms, including what it involves. Until then, treat this as an open invitation rather than a posting.
