Few fields have been impacted more by the term "blockchain" than economics.

Through complicated algorithms, the capacity to design new monetary policies and distribute and allot these tokens based on economic incentives has led to the emergence of new types of trade and economies.

Blockchains, in my opinion, are basically a means of creating economies through code. The computational infrastructure behind this economic laboratory is being created today.

Cryptography is used to safeguard the ledger on which cryptocurrency transactions are recorded, and cryptography and distributed (consensus) procedures are used to establish confidence among participants.

We can anticipate Blockchains to enable new types of economic networks, just as the Internet permitted new forms of social networks.

Computer scientists will not just construct this technology, but will also ideally engage with economists to design and study these bootstrapped economies.

As this economic laboratory, a Decentralized Ledger, grows and tokenomists experiment with new economic models, we will recognize blockchain for what they truly are: an economic laboratory fostering ongoing progress and innovation.
