What is tokenomic? For investors, tokenomic is to find sustainable investment options. For traders, tokenomic is to find a trading strategy to gain short-term profits. For developers, tokenomic is a way to find a sustainable long-term growth solution to create a better community. However, there is much more than just growing your wealth and gaining more profits. Tokenomic is a test of the economy that potentially can be implemented nationwide through policy implementation and helps nations to grow in the future.
Let’s explore.

Trilemma
Let’s examine how a nation plays its tokenomic. The central banks play a role to control (manipulating) three factors:
Free capital mobility: open to foreign investment
Monetary autonomy: low-interest rates
Exchange-rate management: peg its national currency exchange rate against the standard (US dollar)
If you live in a rich country, you have the flexibility to adjust to all three factors. However, other countries may not be that lucky to do so.
Moreover, only two factors out of three are possible. You can A) fix the exchange rate and open to accept cross-border capital flows while they diminished your monetary autonomy or B) can open to accept cross-border capital flows and have monetary autonomy but loss controlling of exchange-rate management or C) can fix the exchange rate and have monetary autonomy but losing opportunities to open to foreign investment.
For example, the Fed in the United States can A) boost their foreign investment and fix the exchange rate to expand their domestic economy or B) boost foreign investment and domestic investment through a lower interest rate environment and keep the exchange rate fluctuating or C) fix the exchange rate and have monetary autonomy to print more money while driving foreign investment away.
Just to note here that we do not examine how effective those actions result after the implementation here.
Tokenomic Trilemma
We may only realize there are two factors for tokenomic as supply and demand. However, there is one more factor to influence your tokenomic model: distribution.
You can easily accomplish supply through the creation of more tokens by increasing the supply or burning tokens to diminish supply. Such manipulations then hopefully influence the demand side which is less likely to be controlled by token creators. There is a third factor of distribution from token creators either through airdrops, or assigned contributors through paying for their performance, or utilized into treasury through investment, Defi, funding future projects, and many more ways.
Of course, you will have certain constraints on your ability to manipulate tokenomic.
You can control supply and indirectly influence demand to reach a fair distribution result of a more sustainable community. Or you can create financial incentives to increase the demands for tokens through staking as one example.
Once you try to manipulate distribution, then the equilibrium system will shift. Increasing more supply will lower your token price since tokens will likely distribute more to powerful players in the system. Or lower supply to increase the token price while sacrificing your token liquidity.
Carefully adjusting tokenomic is necessary to build a sustainable community without possibly being labeled as a rug pull project.
Over Design
3 categories of the design of tokenomic:
Platform economic: Token integration
Tokenomic: monetary policy
Treasury management: investment, play to earn, incentives models to users
But rather, my opinion is that if you design everything, you are entering into a centralized zone to manipulate so many factors to try to yield the best results while losing opportunities to let the system digest itself into the optimization process.
You will run into incentive misalignment, manipulation of the token, and losing token productivity.
It went back to the discussion on how one can interfere with another's property rights. Such philosophical debate continues discussing but continuing practicing through trial and error helps to determine the better solutions.

Here are further readings to enrich your understanding of the tokenomic in different aspects.
