Matty's Masterclass on Tokenomics (@mattyTokenomics)
Matty is one of the world's foremost experts on tokenomics, having led token design efforts for Status.im and advising 50+ projects on their token design to-date. Throughout this episode, we unpack various topics within Matty's open-source guide "Tokenomics for Builders" and ask him to elaborate on some of the key Dos and Don'ts of incentivizing user behavior with tokens. We also cover why historical examples like STEPN and Steemit failed and chat about the importance of sybil resistance in making any design work. This episode is a great primer into the world of tokenomics and is an incredibly useful resource for builders, investors, researchers, and anyone in-between. - - Time Stamps 0:00 - What are tokenomics 5:27 - Defensibility of web3 network effects 9:30 - Uniswap and Unibot as token models 16:21 - Has Friendtech solved social model 20:57 - Incentivising low vs high frequency activity 26:44 - Overcoming the cold start problem 33:11 - What Stepn got right and wrong 39:53 - Is holder governance a good idea 42:50 - Matty’s current projects 51:06 - Are tokenomics held back by regulation 55:22 - Achieving Sybil resistance 1:00:07 - Are bull runs driven by new tokenomic models 1:04:30 - Which projects have innovated 1:15:23 - What is Matty bearish on 1:17:38 - Tokenomics Design Canvas for builders - - Podcast Resources Follow Sal: https://twitter.com/Sal_The_Bull Follow Dave: https://twitter.com/SolBeachBum Follow Unlayered: https://twitter.com/UnlayeredPod Subscribe on Spotify, Apple, or Google: https://unlayered.io/ Clips on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UnlayeredPod - - Episode Resources Follow Matty Tokenomics : https://twitter.com/MattyTokenomics Tokenomics For Builders : https://tr.ee/8sTcnRLPTZ Tokenomics Design Canvas : https://tr.ee/fcCeSk9smS Tokenomics Design Playlist : https://tr.ee/Bj9NbTkuQg Multicoin DePIN Tokenomics : https://multicoin.capital/2023/09/21/exploring-the-design-space-of-deping-networks/
