Tokenomics Design Incentives

Tokenomics is the study and design of token-based incentive systems. It answers: How many tokens should exist? How are they distributed? What incentivizes holders to use them? What aligns miners/validators/users toward protocol goals? Tokenomics combines economics, game theory, and mechanism design to create self-sustaining protocols that grow without constant external funding. Well-designed tokenomics can make a mediocre protocol successful; poorly designed tokenomics can kill even great technology.
