Florian made it on the list with a few different resources:

- @tokenomicsdao
- His substack (fstrauf.substack.com)
- Medium post (medium.com/coinmonks/toke…)

The best place to start is his short, info-dense tokenomics GDoc:

T-2: @Delphi_Digital

@anildelphi & @Kevin_Kelly_II have been doing tokenomics since before it was cool, helping design digital economies like @AxieInfinity.

There are great Delphi resources in the Airtable, but this post on Lockdrop + LBA was top.

Two Classics here from Curve:

- Understanding CRV: resources.curve.fi/base-features/… (Most rec'd post overall)

Plus, a guide to the Curve Wars by who else... @nateliason: every.to/almanack/curve…

Lisa literally wrote the book on tokenomics: Economics and Math of Token Engineering and DeFi

Plus a video (youtube.com/c/economicsdes…) and website (economicsdesign.com) for the less bookish. 🤓

There are a bunch of other authors / resources with 1 submission who are worth reading.

I'm particularly jealous of how good @cobie's writing is.

Even the SEC gets an inclusion. It's a good list.

Check out all of the resources here:
