En este capítulo, @BlackCloud nos explica como entender la economía de una cryptomoneda mediante los tokenomics, y entender el potencial de inversión mediante estos. Todos los sistemas tienen características cuya combinación en diferentes porciones y añadiéndole el azar, que en este caso llamaremos Libre Mercado, dictaminan su futuro. Los tokenomics no son la excepción. Al tomar en cuenta un elemento no tangible como las cryptomonedas, se hace necesario ver un poco más alla, saber cuántos hay, cada cuánto se crean o se destruyen, cuál es su máximo, y qué fórmulas permiten medirlos. Pues hoy les traemos la introducción a qué son y cómo se mueven los tokenomics, para que puedan calcular su próxima inversión con sabiduría.

Financial derivatives are an important component of the financial markets, as they enable risk management. The decentralised derivatives market is expected to grow exponentially with DeFi's growth and, as a result, a widespread and robust financial infrastructure is required. Opium is a financial protocol for decentralised financial derivative products. Opium Protocol is completely based on open-source software and smart contracts. In addition to conforming to values from the DeFi space and possibly incorporating DeFi currency market and protocols, the Opium Protocol is designed to also incorporate into the traditional financial sector and market participants. Opium allows the creation, settling and trading of decentralised derivative products on Ethereum. Opium combines any Oracle with any financial tool (e.g. Dapps can interact with Opium). Every position represented by a token can be traded, sent or stored. Derivative instruments built on top of the Opium Exchange always have limited potential losses and gains. Through a $ OPIUM token and a DAO, the Opium Protocol and its ecosystem will, over time, be completely governed by everyone.

DEX, AMM and bonding curve. Again, on this topic. I swear there is a lot of other innovation in the space too, but this week, I want to share something interesting with DEXes and their mathematical mechanism. You can guess that because we're having another whiteboard session! This week is a collaboration with block.science. And we will dive into Sifchain, a cross-chain DEX using Kosmos SDK that includes Layer 1 validation. 3 main things we will cover today: 1. Sifchain's rebalancing model for validators and liquidity provider ecosystems 2. How transaction fees are calculated. Specifically, we reference Uniswap's model (CMM, zero internal fee) and Thorchain (CLP, internal fees embedded) and learn about how it affects Sifchain's onchain transaction. 3. Asymmetric addition of tokens into liquidity pool and how this is different from the other DEX out there Specifically for fees, I want to stress that there are 2 types of fees — internal fees and external fees. - External fees are basically zero fee swaps in Uniswap, with a fixed fee per transaction. This is good for traders. - Internal fees are fees embedded into the DEX swap. This is good for liquidity providers. Can you think why? Hint: because of impermanent loss! Supplementary reading: 1. More of the specific math models by Block.science https://sifchain.finance/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/The-Token-Economics-of-Sifchain-edited-2.0.pdf 2.

Today we will deep dive into DFINITY’s ICP token. Why it's needed and what separate's it from the rest of the space. One of the biggest aspects of a successful crypto project is Token Economics. We went from simple payment tokens like Bitcoin and Zcash to more complex governance & cashflow tokens like Maker and AAVE. DFINITY's ICP token seems to grasp the best of all worlds by combing intrinsic value/asset functions, governance properties, and "fuel" for computing power and storage.

I started looking at Bancor years ago, because it had the same name as the world currency John M. Keynes had in mind. Their math fascinated me, and that's how I got started with the AMM rabbit hole! The Bancor V1 token economics analysis report (https://www.economicsdesign.com/portfolio/bancor/) is about how Bancor works and what the token does. Bancor has been working on a few improvements, from price slippage issues to impermanent loss. V2 of Bancor was about dynamic weight, which is something really fascinating. But let's focus on their latest update, V2.1. V2.1 follows the static 50-50 weight as V1, aka the Uniswap style. The new introduction is the insurance for impermanent loss. So you will have ZERO impermanent loss. You get subsidised for any losses sustained. How does that work? Let's find out in this episode. We will also cover the supply of $BNT based on the various actions in the ecosystem and how that indirectly affects the price of $BNT. Want more in-depth content?

Kevin Kelly discusses his transition from Bloomberg to crypto, the research techniques his firm has brought from traditional finance, how he thinks about token economics, how Delphi identifies new tokens to cover, and what makes Delphi's token research unique.
We've covered about bonding curves and the various incentive mechanisms that you can bake into the curve. This episode, we focus on using bonding curve as a way to fundraise for your project. Fundraising with tokens doesn't always mean that the token is a security. It can also be a utility. Here, we share 4 use-cases of how bonding curves are used in fundraising. Unlike autonomous market maker, there is no general model to follow.

⚠️ PSA: This podcast episode is different from the YouTube channel. This removes the maths and graph, as it requires visualisation. Please check out the YouTube version for the graph. Otherwise, this episode is good enough to have you an in-depth explanation. ⚠️ This is a 2-part series. Part 1 is on the economics and math of TBC and how the curve functions affect the incentive mechanism and what governance can we embed into the function. Part 2 will be on using these functions in projects, and taking a dive at a few projects. The episode is split into 2 because it gets quite heavy to digest all the information at once. So part 1 is the more math-y part, for you, as economics designers to grasp. And part 2 is the more application-y part, for you, as economics designers to know how to use it. After all, knowledge is only valuable when applied. Enjoy this first part. We understand token bonding curves, the benefits, where the value accrual is derived from and the various functions to consider. As much as I wish there is 1 perfect function, the functions really depend on the objective of your system and what it wants to incentive or govern. So choose wisely and have fun playing with graphs!

Whilst there is no holy grail of model to design token economics, there is a framework that you can use. I developed this after researching for 2 years.

Often, we like to think that token economics is all about the token. That is not true. It also comes with the design of the environment, which the token exists in. And that's market design. In this episode, we uncover what market design is, what are the 3 aspects to consider and examples of how they can be applied when you design your token ecosystem. Want more in-depth content?

In EP 4, we covered behavioural economics, which is principle 1 in token economics. Today, we will come back to the basics of supply and demand. Why we need it, how to govern it and how can we apply to the token economics that you are building.
In this episode, Andreas Antonopoulos joins us to talk about the future of the cryptocurrency industry amidst an ongoing pandemic and the beginnings of a worldwide recession in light of a recently passed $4 trillion stimulus package. Andreas explains his view of how the Bitcoin narrative has played out and how it will shift in the near future. We cover what wallets can do *now* in order to monetize and better enable user adoption of the coins they support, what's in store for the startups in the industry as venture capital dries up and natural selection takes hold, and how an interchain future will evolve as standards across protocols mature.
Tom Shaughnessy is a co-founder at Delphi Digital as well as the host of the Chain Reaction podcast. Jordan Clifford is managing director of Scalar Capital. In this end of year interview for The Breakdown, Tom argues that the big story of 2019 was actually the fact that it was all about quiet building. When it comes to 2020, however, watch out for fireworks. Tom predicts we’ll see a major increase in the layer 1 smart contract platform wars, as well as an increased in the perceived importance of token economic design. Jordan meanwhile argues that we’re likely to see a shift back to development at the application layer.

Is there a more confusing pair of words than Blockchain and Cryptocurrency? Most likely, but when it comes to this pair of words, it’s easy to get lost and confused in the ever-complex world of token economics. For some, investing in Crypto just comes naturally, and that's exactly the case for Tushar Jain. Originally the co-founder of a Health Tech company, Tushar found his true calling by becoming the Managing Partner of Multicoin Capital, a cryptofund that leverages venture capital economics in the public market. Founded in 2017, Multicoin Capital quickly earned a reputation for being the pioneers in crypto and token economics. Tushar joined us on the podcast to talk about how to convey information and to get the right people to notice you.

This episode Corey and Collin bring on the academics Arthur Gervais and Dominik Harz from Imperial College London. They discuss a new protocol that attempts to reduce the required financial deposits for various mechanisms in a way that does not reduce security. In other words, it is an attempt to help with over-collateralization, which could save investors a lot of money! As always, we get into the weeds to try and figure out exactly how it works, and where it is best used. Come listen and enjoy!Links:https://balance-resear.ch/Donate to Hashing It Out!

We know that Nori is on a mission to reverse climate change by building a platform that pays people to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. But how exactly will the token economics of that platform work? Why is Nori creating its own cryptocurrency separate from its carbon removal certificates? And how can we get involved and invest in Nori? Today, Paul joins Ross and Christophe to explain Nori’s token economics and the general need for alternative currencies. They discuss how Nori tokens could serve as the reference price for carbon, why Nori tokens are separate from carbon removal certificates (CRCs), and how Nori tokens might drive innovation. Paul speaks to the challenge around creating a finite number of tokens and complying with SEC regulations. Listen in for insight on how Nori is leveraging the JOBS Act’s Regulation D exemption to sell tokens in accordance with securities law.

Interview location: London, UKInterview date: Tue 22nd May 2018The crazy world of Crypto is building a new borderless financial system with different rules. The creation of entirely new forms of money has resulted in a new global liquidity pool, and the traditional world of finance is watching.Furthermore, entirely new token based business models are evolving. These token based projects are raising $millions on the promise of utility or equity, yet much of this new economy is untested:Are utility tokens a wise investment?Are equity tokens a better way of issuing stock?With utility tokens, the velocity theory is yet to be economically proven with a single product. Velocity is no different to traction, something most startups find hard, even with great ideas. If traction is slow, then the value of most of these tokens will go to $0 very quickly.With equity tokens, the promise is different and arguably more practical. Rather than a new economic model, these tokens represent a way of improving a legacy system.Blockchains are changing what money is and how it moves, and there is undoubtedly an opportunity for innovators to create new business models, but many questions remain over how practical and realistic much of this is. Most projects do not need a blockchain, most are raising too much money too early, and many of the difficulties which tech startups face are being ignored:- What problem is being solved?- Where will traction come from?- Will these projects become economically viable?Jill Carlson represents a small but influential group of realists in the space, writing about and questioning many of the challenges the market is facing. In our interview we discuss token economics, raising capital for Crypto projects compared to traditional startups and the general state of the market.-----If you enjoy The What Bitcoin Did Podcast you can help support the show my doing the following:Become a Patron and get access to shows early or help contributeMake a tip:Bitcoin: 3FiC6w7eb3dkcaNHMAnj39ANTAkv8Ufi2SQR Codes: Bitcoin | Ethereum | Litecoin | Monero | ZCash | RipplecoinIf you do send a tip then please email me so that I can say thank youSubscribe on iTunes | Spotify | Stitcher | SoundCloud | YouTube | TuneIn | RSS FeedLeave a review on iTunesShare the show and episodes with your friends and familySubscribe to the newsletter on my websiteFollow me on Twitter Personal | Twitter Podcast | Instagram | Medium | YouTubeIf you are interested in sponsoring the show, you can read more about that here or please feel free to drop me an email to discuss options.
