Market Benchmarking
Stay Competitive with Data That Drives Decisions
Market benchmarking is the process of comparing an organization’s Total Rewards practices, to those offered by competitors or industry standards. This involves gathering data from reliable sources to analyze pay levels, incentive structures, and benefits packages for similar roles in comparable organizations. The goal is to ensure that an organization’s total rewards offerings are competitive, equitable, and aligned with market trends, enabling the organization to attract,retain and motivate top talent effectively.
Market benchmarking is essential for maintaining a competitive advantage in talent acquisition and retention. By understanding how their compensation and benefits compare to industry norms, organizations can make informed decisions about adjusting pay structures, improving benefits, or introducing new rewards. It helps ensure contributors feel fairly compensated, reducing turnover and increasing satisfaction. Benchmarking supports compliance with pay equity laws and improves trust and transparency within the workforce while ensuring financial sustainability, and market competitiveness to drive business success.

Equity/Token Compensation
Aligning Incentives with Long-Term Growth
Equity and token compensation are forms of non-cash rewards offered to employees, contributors, or stakeholders to align their interests with the organization’s long-term success. Equity compensation typically involves granting ownership in the company through stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs), or similar mechanisms. Token compensation, unique to blockchain organizations, involves distributing native tokens of the project, DAO, or organization. Both forms of compensation often include vesting schedules, presence and/or performance based, or governance rights, incentivizing people to contribute to the organization’s growth and in some cases to governance over time.
Equity and token compensation play a crucial role in attracting, retaining, and motivating top talent, especially in high-growth and innovative industries like blockchain. These forms of reward are not just compensation tools, they’re mechanisms to promote alignment, loyalty, and shared success while being part of the ecosystem. In blockchain projects, token compensation is often integral to governance and decision-making, enabling contributors to shape the future of the project. For startups and DAOs with limited cash resources, equity and token rewards provide a valuable alternative to competitive cash salaries, while creating significant long-term value for contributors.

Job Architecture
A Clear Path For Your Teams
Job architecture offers a clear framework for structuring an organization’s functions, job families, roles, and career levels. It ensures alignment, promotes career growth, and serves as a foundational element in building effective compensation and talent development programs.
As organizations, particularly those in the blockchain industry, experience rapid growth and navigate into mergers and acquisitions, multiplication of job titles and roles can lead to inconsistencies in job leveling, compensation structures and role definitions. Job architecture provides a solution, bringing structure and clarity to these complexities. It also lays the groundwork for career frameworks, salary structures, pay equity analysis, and people analytics.
At its core, job architecture aligns an organization’s HR strategy with its business objectives, encouraging consistency and transparency in talent management. Addressing structural challenges within job architecture and career frameworks is essential for establishing sustainable pay equity practices and meeting pay transparency requirements.

Executive Compensation
Empowering Leaders with Strategic Compensation Solutions
Executive compensation refers to the financial and non-financial rewards given to an organization’s top executives, such as the CEO, CTO, CPO, CFO…and other senior leaders. This package typically includes base salary, bonuses, equity/token and benefits to align the executive’s interests with long term goals of the organization. The structure of the compensation is designed to motivate executives to achieve business objectives and drive organization performance.
Executive compensation is crucial for attracting and retaining talented leaders who can drive organisation growth and strategy. By linking compensation to organization performance, it aligns the interests of executives with shareholders/tokenholders, ensuring leaders are motivated to prioritize long-term success.

Pay-equity
Equal Rewards for Equal Contribution
Pay equity refers to the principle of ensuring that contributors receive fair and equal compensation for performing the same job, regardless of factors such as gender, race, ethnicity, age, disability, or other characteristics unrelated to their skills, qualifications, or performance. It seeks to eliminate discriminatory pay practices and promote fairness in compensation and benefits across an organization.
Pay equity demonstrates a commitment to build a fair, inclusive, and high-performing organization, where all contributors are recognized and compensated equitably for their efforts.

Contributor’s well-being
Empowering People to Perform and Flourish
Contributor well-being refers to the overall health and happiness of an organization’s workforce, covering physical, mental, emotional, and financial aspects. It involves creating a work environment that supports contributors through initiatives like work-life balance, mental health programs, wellness activities, flexible work policies, and financial planning resources. Well-being also includes building a culture where contributors feel valued, respected, and empowered to succeed both professionally and personally.
When contributors are healthy, supported, and engaged, they are more likely to perform at their best, contribute innovative ideas, and remain committed to the organization. Prioritizing well-being can lower turnover, decrease stress-related absences, and enhance job satisfaction. It also strengthens an organization’s reputation as an employer of choice, attracting and retaining best contributors.
