The Developer Exchange (DevEx) program is Roblox’s mechanism for allowing top developers to convert their earned Robux into real-world currency. For successful creators, it represents a genuine career path.
Eligibility Requirements
To participate in DevEx, you must be at least 13 years old, have a verified Roblox Premium membership, have at least 30,000 earned Robux in your account (not purchased Robux), have a verified DevEx portal account, and comply with Roblox’s Terms of Service. The “earned Robux” distinction is important — Robux you purchased yourself cannot be exchanged.
Exchange Rates
As of the most recent Roblox DevEx rate, developers receive approximately $0.0035 per Robux exchanged, meaning 100,000 Robux converts to roughly $350 USD. This rate can change, so always check the official DevEx portal for current figures before planning your earnings strategy.
What Top Developers Earn
The top Roblox developers earn millions of dollars annually. Games like Adopt Me and Blox Fruits generate hundreds of millions of Robux per month, and developers share a significant portion of that through DevEx. The platform has created genuine millionaires who started as teenage hobbyists.
Building Toward DevEx
The path to meaningful DevEx earnings requires building games with strong player retention and monetization. Focus on developer products (one-time purchases), game passes (permanent upgrades), and Premium payouts (Roblox distributes Robux to developers when Premium members spend time in their games). A single viral moment can bootstrap a developer’s career overnight.
