🗳💰Bribery Token Economy

Did you hear about the Bribery Economy in token ecosystems?

This intriguing model isn't about illicit dealings, but a legitimate strategic layer in governance token frameworks.

It's where token holders are incentivized, or 'bribed', to vote in a certain way during governance decisions.

Think of it as a lever in the delicate balance of decentralized decision-making, but with a twist that introduces complex economic and ethical considerations.

💡 Insightful Snapshot:

- What is it? A method where incentives are offered to sway governance votes in decentralized platforms.

- Why does it matter? This model is subtly reshaping the governance landscape in DeFi and DAOs, presenting both opportunities and challenges for long-term ecosystem health.

🔍 Under the Microscope:

The Double-Edged Sword: On one hand, it can drive active participation and engagement in governance processes. On the other, it risks centralizing power in the hands of those with the most to offer, veering away from the ethos of decentralization.

The Ripple Effect: How these incentives are structured can significantly influence the direction and development of a platform, potentially prioritizing short-term gains over long-term sustainability.

🌟 For the Forward-Thinking:

Founder’s quest: How do we harness this mechanism for healthy governance without compromising our foundational principles?

Share your thoughts or examples in comments!

🚀 5 Secret Tokenomics Lessons for Web3 Founders ! 🌐💰

1️⃣ Dynamic Supply Adjustment Mechanisms

Concept: This involves algorithms or rules embedded within a token's protocol that automatically adjust its supply based on certain criteria, such as price stability or demand changes.

Example: Ampleforth (AMPL) uses an elastic supply model. When demand increases and the price rises above a certain threshold, the protocol automatically increases the supply of AMPL tokens. Conversely, if the price falls below a certain level, the supply decreases.

2️⃣ Token Velocity Paradox

Concept: Token velocity refers to the speed at which tokens circulate within an ecosystem. Higher velocity means tokens are exchanged more frequently. The paradox arises when high velocity reduces the value of a token, as people tend to hold it for shorter periods.

Example: Ethereum's (ETH) upgrade to Ethereum 2.0 aims to reduce velocity by implementing staking mechanisms. By incentivizing holders to stake their ETH, it encourages longer holding periods, potentially increasing the token's value.

3️⃣Burn Mechanisms and Artificial Scarcity

Concept: Token burning is a mechanism where a certain number of tokens are permanently removed ('burned') from circulation, often to reduce total supply and create scarcity, which can drive up value.

Example: Binance Coin (BNB) employs a quarterly burn mechanism based on trading volume, systematically reducing its total supply to create scarcity and potentially increase its value over time.

4️⃣Governance Tokens and Incentive Misalignment

Concept: Governance tokens give holders voting rights in protocol decisions. Misalignment occurs when the incentives of token holders (often short-term profits) do not align with the long-term health of the ecosystem.

Example: MakerDAO's MKR tokens allow holders to vote on changes to the Maker protocol. However, if most MKR holders are short-term speculators, they might vote for decisions that favor immediate gains over long-term stability.

5️⃣Interplay Between Tokens and Ecosystem Health

Concept: The health and growth of a token's ecosystem (such as user base, developer activity, partnerships) directly affect the token's demand and value.

Example: Chainlink (LINK) demonstrates this interplay. As more DeFi applications integrate Chainlink's oracle services, the demand for LINK increases, positively impacting its value.

🎁 Essential tool: InnMind’s Tokenomics Calculator & Simulator, developed in collaboration with venture capitalists and industry experts.
It simplifies the complex process of creating a balanced token ecosystem tailored to your startup's needs.

🔍 Electric Capital's 2023 Blockchain Developer Report Analysis 🔍

Last week, Electric Capital released a report on blockchain developers.

They also launched a dedicated website showcasing live statistics of active developers across various blockchain ecosystems – from Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Polygon to newcomers like Aptos, Sui, and veterans like Dash and TON.

Here are some report highlights:

1️⃣ The number of developers in 2023 decreased by 24% to 22,411. However, developers with more than 1 year of experience grew by 16%.

2️⃣ Since the last bear market, there's been almost a 3x increase in developer numbers from 3,281 in Jan 2020 to 9,357 in Dec 2023.

3️⃣ A clear multi-chain trend: 34% of developers support multiple networks. Multi-chain support has grown tenfold since 2015. 87% of multi-chain developers work on at least one EVM network.

4️⃣ The US is losing developers. Its share decreased by -14% from 2018 to 26%. Southeast Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe, West Africa, and Southern Europe have increased their share by +20% since 2018.

5️⃣ 40% of Bitcoin developers worked on scaling and L2 tasks. Only 3% focused on Ordinals. 42% of developers work on the top 200 projects outside Bitcoin and Ethereum.

6️⃣ Network fragmentation is becoming less of an issue. Networks are increasingly sharing developers among themselves. Ethereum, as the main and obvious donor, shares 6+ developers with 20 other networks!

7️⃣ Ethereum accounts for 71% of industry innovations, followed by BNB Chain at 19%, and Polygon at 7%, where innovation is measured by new code versus copied or adapted code.

8️⃣ Among the top 15 smart contracts on Ethereum, 10 are DeFi (UniSwap, 1inch, Metamask, Tether (USDT), Center (USDC), Maestro, Banana Gun); 2 are NFT (Blur, Seaport), 2 are L2 (Arbitrum, zkSync).

9️⃣ 75% of NFT developments were released on Solana and Bitcoin by the end of 2023. Ethereum ranks 5th after Polygon and BNB Chain.
