Cryptoeconomics in 30 Minutes: A Crash Course
Description:
How can we use tokens, auctions and voting rights to incentivize behavior? How should decentralized networks be designed and governed? These are the questions studied in cryptoeconomics - a 21st century twist on what old-school economists call mechanism design. In this panel, Soona, Jing, Elena and Dani will give an overview of cryptoeconomics using examples from specific decentralized protocols and networks. You’ll be in good hands - Soona and Elena are crypto-founders and Jing is writing the cryptoeconomics textbook. By the end, you’ll have a new framework for how to look at decentralized projects and their tokens.
