A Designing Tokenomics šŸŖ‚ airdrop šŸŖ‚ ??


Hi!

Welcome to Web3 Bits, where I share a few of the most interesting web3 bits for you to consumer over the weekend.

No, there is no airdrop, well at least not now anyway. But after diving into creator tokenomics for the past few weeks, if I were to do them, I now know how I'd structure it - covered in the 'writings' section below. At some point I might put this theory into practice.

If getting these thoughts in real time is interesting, you can join my telegram channel where I share thoughts and resources throughout the week.

Writings

Interesting things

  • Oracles are the backbone of all DeFi and most of crypto. What will they look like in the next cycle? This is a really good post on some macro trends in the space over the next few years with a focus on the future of oracles.
  • Can Coinbase get away without a Base AirDrop? This thread continues to cover the layer two roll up wars with a focus on branding power, a topic to cover in depth in how to build a moat in web3.​
  • Is on-chain gaming making a resurgence? If yes, will the tokenomics be the same or different? I'm keeping an eye on Base and MUD to see. I'd still like to see a game protocol like this built, but I'm happy to follow along. There were some really interesting projects and approaches last cycle - that have really disappointed (Magic and Crypto Raiders come to mind). There's a chance now to build a super fan base community of web3 gamers. What does web3 gaming look like? I'd bet heavily on trading and speculation as a core part of the game.
  • Can tokenomics be compared t​o electric circuits? Maybe we should we be changing terminology to 'tokenology'? Two different approaches to looking at designing tokenomics. We could do with less discussions about how we call the space and more on how to actually implement good token designs and projects.

Hi! Welcome to Web3 Bits, where I share a few of the most interesting web3 bits for you to consumer over the weekend. This week I decided to dive into a new cool tokenomics model I've been having lots of fun with on Farcaster for the past month: $DEGEN. It's got a lot more going for it than just being a meme coin and good vibes. The team has implemented a few cool and simple mechanics that have really made things click. One of my key questions though are: is this sustainable and what needs to...

Hi! Welcome to Web3 Bits, where I share a few of the most interesting web3 bits for you to consumer over the weekend. It's been a good six months since my last missive. Life's been busy, but I'm glad to be back! If there's anything you'd like me to cover, write about or questions to answer - just let me know in a reply email and I'll get to it next time! The bull is back! In September last year I wrote about why I'm getting more bullish which turned out to be fairly prescient: Outside money...
