Why Tokenomics Is Far More Complex Than It Seems
Tokenomics often seems deceptively straightforward. Many assume it's merely about creating a token, assigning some supply, and deciding where it goes. However, beneath this surface lies a complex interplay of economics, game theory, behavioural psychology, and systems engineering. Get it wrong, and your project risks collapse. Get it right, and you create a thriving ecosystem where value and incentives align perfectly. In this article, I’ll break down why tokenomics isn’t as simple as it...

Bonding Curves in Tokenomics: What You Need to Know
Imagine a vending machine where the price of snacks changes based on how many are left. The fewer snacks there are, the higher the price—rewarding those who acted early. This, in essence, is how bonding curves work in tokenomics. They provide a transparent, mathematical way to dynamically price tokens based on supply and demand. Bonding curves are revolutionising decentralised finance (DeFi) and beyond, but they aren’t a one-size-fits-all solution. Let’s break down what they are, their use ca...

Pharmacovigilance DAO - a novel approach.
I have been pondering this idea for a few years, after some work Catena.MBA did for the World Health Organisation. Technologies have advanced since then, and I'm genuinely curious to hear opinions from colleagues in medicine, the pharmaceutical industry and from the blockchain world whether this has any merit. Post-COVID, there have been numerous claims of vaccine injury. But this is just a tip of the iceberg example (because it has been divisive and populist) when it comes to solving po...

The Role of Token Velocity in Ecosystem Stability: Insights and Strategies
Introduction Token velocity is a critical yet often overlooked aspect of tokenomics that can significantly impact the health, sustainability, and value of a token-based ecosystem. While understanding the basics of token velocity is essential, deeper insights can offer even greater clarity for managing ecosystem stability. This article explores token velocity, its implications for token value, and practical strategies for maintaining an optimal balance. What is Token Velocity? Token velocity i...
