During this week’s community talk, Florian shared his insights from the recent article that was published comparing traditional businesses using shares versus a crypto project using tokens. We invite you to follow the conversation as the community reflects on the following points:

* Supply: Pay extra attention in crypto. Inflationary supply does not need to be bad, if the business grows with it.

* Utility: Mechanisms is where the main difference is, but I feel the crypto world knows this.

* Fundamentals of a crypto/traditional business: Should deserve more attention!

* How stocks are evaluated: Various metrics exist and we can adopt them to crypto.

* How to evaluate tokens?: Evaluating crypto businesses like stocks is not enough. The token, in most cases, plays a significant role.

* Governance: If the business is good, governance tokens can be a proxy.

* Supply: Pay extra attention in crypto. Inflationary supply does not need to be bad, if the business grows with it.

Today we are sharing a pretty big update about the org structure of Tokenomics DAO, how we distribute cash rewards to contributors, and how we are thinking about the distribution of token ownership. At Tokenomics DAO we are doing things backward (for web3). We have revenue, but no token yet. Naturally, the token launch is a high priority for us so we want to keep things simple, practice what we preach to our clients, and focus on the core value driver in our DAO: We want to retroactively reward value creation by contributors with ownership in the DAO.

Please listen in to learn our latest thoughts on discord roles. Can we work together efficiently without hierarchy?

If you are part of the Tokenomics DAO this episode is a must-listen, as it affects you directly.

On today’s episode of the Tokenomics DAO podcast, Lovis is having a conversation with Rockwell Shah from Starship Guild. In the crypto sphere, Rockwell is the co-founder of Starship Guild and Invisible College. He understands the NFT game better than most and is giving us deep insights into the “meta” of the NFT space.

Only about 8% of NFT traders are profitable. How come? What is the game that is currently being played in the NFT markets? And more importantly, what are strategies that may work to make NFT projects sustainable and successful long-term?

Please enjoy this conversation ranging from the Tokenomics of NFTs in general to Art NFTs, as well as, the dream of play-to-earn and the problems that currently plague most web3 gaming economies.

Show Notes:

* Invisible College - https://www.invisiblecollege.xyz/

* Starship Guild - https://starshipguild.com/

* Tokenomics:

* is the study of token-based incentive design

* Tokens create owners, not renters - at least that’s the dream

* NFTs:

* What is the game that is played in the Art NFT world?

* Only if you understand the game, can you correctly identify the incentives driving the market.

* Club CPG - one of the “realest” NFT Art collections, punished by the market

* There are probably only 10k heavy NFT traders and maybe only 1-10M people who have ever owned an NFT

* Because of this global game of Hot-Potato people ask for the meta, they care about the liquidity and are mad when it is wiped off the table.

* Royalties are not baked into the smart contract layer of NFT trading, it is baked into the exchanges. Some exchanges are not paying royalties anymore.

* Gaming economy:

* There are too many value extractors and not enough value creators in the gaming economy of Axie at the moment.

* Starship built its guild on top of Axie Infiniti and rode grew from 0 to 7M ARR within 6 months

* Sustainable crypto games are Bitcoin Miner and Neopolis with Neoland

* The key to a successful gaming economy are: 1) Players want to own the gaming assets 2) Players want to transact the gaming assets to enhance their experience.

This conversation followed an invitation to join a Twitter Space (recording unfortunately no longer available) with The Product House. This time it was on TPH’s discord server and we managed to record it properly :)

Tokenomics was the most requested topic by the TPH community and we were happy to give some answers and explanations.

This is entry-level tokenomics and web3 know-how but the fundamentals are arguably probably the most important to be able to join general conversations in the web3 space. We think it is worth your time to take a listen.

Thanks, and enjoy!

Flo and Jason sit down with Aleksa Mil from WACEO to discuss a range of topics around DAOs and decentralisation. From getting more women into Web 3, to compliance and risk management issues associated with running DAOs in a traditional world. They discuss WACEO’s ‘shield up’ program, which aims to simplify access for DAOs looking to get traditional services such as legal advice, and how using WACEO token as a reserve currency might be a solution for DAOs in paying for such services. Aleksa also touches on the differences between jurisdictions for incorporation and the ever changing nature of the legal landscape for DAOs looking for a home.
