At a fundamental level, business models in 2018 weren’t all too different from those in 1980, except for bigger markets, more stable fixed costs, more distribution channels, and more cold brew on tap.

In 2022, “Web 3” is beckoning in a new wave of technological investment and innovation, with a vision for how an open financial system can help the world…but how does this investment envision a return?

What are the mechanisms that make for a profitable “Web 3” business?

How should a “Web 3” business model itself and will it carry over anything from the traditional world?

Does the term “business” even work to describe the organizations in “Web 3”?

This series will investigate different models, their “tokenomics”, and hopefully come to some conclusions about how these changes will impact the future of the global economy.

We’ll try to paint a broad stroke across the industry touching on different types of projects and chains in Defi, NFTs, DAOs, and even Web 2.5.
