What Is a Crypto Product Manager?

A crypto product manager owns what gets built for users of a wallet, exchange, protocol interface or developer platform — scoping, prioritising, shipping and measuring — in a domain where the hardest problems are making irreversible, adversarial systems feel safe and obvious. Gas, signatures, bridging, custody and regulatory constraints all land on the PM's desk.
