Even with the tailwind of the biggest bull market in crypto history, the author found that most mainstream economies suffered from substantial price declines due to the implementation of poor economic policies. However, the author notes, properly designed ecosystems fared better, but required expert input from a token economist.
"Many projects use tokens as a low-cost way to print free value without understanding the effects of doing so," says Iinuma.
The report analyzes the latest trends in token economies, based on the company's work on over 100 token and NFT ecosystems. It covers a broad range of topics from earning economies (play-to-earn, move-to-earn, etc.), algorithmically-backed stablecoins, to the effects of token inflation and deflation.
The 55-page report features detailed diagrams, charts, and tables, illustrating the intricacies of various token topologies.
"Observations in Token Ecosystems looks at several dominant trends in token economies based on our observations of dozens of market-traded cryptocurrencies. We evaluate these trends through a critical lens, with a particular emphasis on token price performance and the economic viability of these ecosystems over the long run," says Iinuma.
The report highlights ways to build better economic models and avoid "the race to zero" by limiting inflation and focusing on token value accrual.
"We issue this report to illicit discussion and dialog within the community with the goal of evolving these ecosystems for the benefit of their projects and end users."
