Do you believe there are significant differences between #Economics and #Tokenomics of #web3?

Can we simply apply what we know from #Econ101 to tokens and become successful investors and buidlers?

We asked a Tokenomist to find out! 🧵 👇 Image
#Economics is a social science that studies the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services that focuses on the behavior and interactions of economic actors and how economies work. Economics is PREDICTIVE: Given rules, what outcome can one expect? Image
#Tokenomics is the study of token supply & demand dynamics, behavioral mechanisms, and incentive design. All characteristics are programmed and the outcomes can be observed transparently on-chain.

Tokenomics is DESIGN oriented: Given desired outcomes, what rules does one create? Image
Some aspects of econ certainly apply to tokenomics, however many of the basic investor metrics are different.

We will cover “basic investor metrics” (BIMs) in the next thread(s) over the next few days - stay tuned! Image
If you want to go deeper and learn the basics of tokenomics quickly, in a structured format, consider taking our course.

Our students loved it, and you will too...

How do traditional and crypto businesses compare and what impact does this have on tokens?

Let's look at:
--> Supply
--> Utility
--> Fundamentals
--> Evaluating Stocks
--> Evaluating Tokens
--> Governance

🧵👇
Supply:
AMZN shares are inflationary, but investors won't be too concerned - there are no Olympus DAO-like hyperinflationary shares.

In crypto, we like to experiment, so pay extra attention. Inflation doesn't need to be bad, if the business grows with it.
Utility:
This is where tokens are a lot more complex to evaluate.

Nobody just evaluates shares without the business.

You shouldn't do this in crypto either, but paying attention to utility and mechanisms is a lot more important.

You know this. Let's look at the business side:

Tokenomics 101: $CVX @ConvexFinance

TLDR: Convex's selling point revolves around the demand that exists for $CRV (Curve's native token) and the pain points that come with it, making it a less attractive hold for certain users

1/🧵
First off, without $CRV there's no $CVX, so what makes $CRV so enticing?

Essentially, $CRV's meta demand is the desire from LPs to increase their income (aka they want that sweet max boost)

The mechanism used to capture this demand is known as the veToken model

2/10
Due to this mechanism we can break $CRV demand down into 3 types:

But ser, what is the value accrual™ of your token?

In step 5 of the Tokenomics Design Framework we ask just that. 🧵
We're launching our Tokenomics Design Framework.

In case you missed it. Start here:
The supply & demand dynamic will help us to see where there may be problems in value accrual

First we need to 'take stock' and see how our current mechanisms are affecting supply and (possibly) demand

Tokenomics are interesting because they allow us to incentivise desired behaviours.

Step 4 of the Tokenomics Design Framework gets us to ask ourselves; what do you want your users to be doing? 🧵
We're launching our Tokenomics Design Framework.

In case you missed it. Start here:
The first step is knowing what you want users to be doing (desirable behaviour) and what you don't want them to be doing (undesirable behaviour)
