Tech Peculiarities
"Good tokenomics is about creating a fair and transparent system that rewards users for their contributions. Industry public figures should be focused on building projects that are not only innovative but also have a solid token economy."
Tokenomics Audit Process:
Analyze: We begin by examining your existing token economy using cutting-edge tools and techniques.
Rating: If no flaws are detected, we proceed to assign a rating to your project.
Tokenomics Design: If flaws are identified, we work on tokenomics design to eliminate them. This iterative process may include multiple rounds of improvements, simulations, and discussions with the client.
Reporting: We conclude with a comprehensive report that can be presented to stakeholders and the public.
What We Offer:
Fair valuation models based on client-supplied projections
Stress testing of tokenomics structure from both numerical and game theoretic perspectives
High-level (aggregate) and low-level (individual agent) modeling
Tokenomics design from scratch or partial redesigns
What will you get after an audit?

What are the processes in your Tokenomics Audit?
1. Structural Analysis:
We use formal tools to examine the incentives and inter-relationships between agents, combining qualitative and quantitative elements. Structural analysis identifies issues like feedback loops and misaligned incentives through game theoretic breakdowns, value flow diagrams, and equations.
2. Empirical Analysis:
We analyze data from similar existing projects to understand how the system would perform under real-world conditions. By using statistical modeling and machine learning techniques, we provide “soft proof” of a design’s potential success.
3. Numerical Models for Fair Valuation:
With simulations and financial projections, we generate price projections across thousands of scenarios, considering factors like starting price, distribution, holding time, staking, and speculation dynamics. This analysis helps confirm whether the tokenomics model promotes token appreciation, based on the company’s financial projections and business assumptions.
4. Stress Testing:
Stress testing identifies weak points in the design by simulating potential negative outcomes, such as the token price crashing. This final step before rating ensures that any weaknesses are addressed and, if necessary, the design process iterates.
5. Rating:
We provide a tokenomics project rating based on our unique assessment questionnaire and guidelines from the Journal of the British Blockchain Association. This rating informs knowledgeable investors about potential risks associated with the project, focusing on tokenomics rather than external factors like product-market fit or marketing.
