Our tokenomics offerings

We ensure your token is built to survive the bear and thrive in the bull market.

We specialise in token economy design and modelling. These complementary services work together in unison to produce the best tokenomics outcomes post launch. Depending on where you are, an engagement starts as a design, a modelling exercise or an audit of what you already have; the three pages linked below break down each route.

Tokenomics Audit

Audit

We review the token economy you already have, rebuild it in Machinations, and stress-test it until something breaks, returning severity-ranked findings and the fixes still open to you.

Tokenomics Audit

We design the utilities, policies, supply mechanics, distribution, and vesting schedules to scale alongside your business whilst being grounded in behavioural economics.

From regulation to resilience, we have you covered

Where our framework gets specific: structuring tokenomics for MiCA compliance and validating each mechanism through simulation.

MiCA tokenomics and whitepaper

Under MiCA, the EUs Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation, your tokens design decides its legal category. 

MiCA sorts tokens into three categories, and the line runs through the economics, not the branding: a utility token gives access to your product; an asset-referenced token holds value against a basket of assets; an e-money token tracks a single currency. 

A law firm can tell you which category a token falls into, but it cannot design an economy that is both compliant and commercially sound. We design the token economy for growth and MiCA alignment, producing the final whitepaper and classification documents ready for your counsel.

Machinations simulations

Machinations simulations

Token economies, credit markets, DeFi pools; any financial system will deviate from the spreadsheets upon hitting the market.

We build your economies, token or other, as a working model in Machinations and run Monte-Carlo simulations to stress-test it under real conditions: emissions meeting unlocks, user growth stalling, loans nearing collateralization ratios, buys or sells with thin liquidity, black swan events. The simulation shows where the design fails so we can fix issues before the launch.

Our simulations dont predict the future, but they help design sustainable systems, and prepare founders for all market conditions.

A token economy that balances on paper can still break in the market, because a spreadsheet assumes every holder behaves as intended. They do not.

We build your economy as a working model in Machinations and run it under real conditions: emissions meeting unlocks, user growth stalling, holders selling into thin liquidity. The simulation shows where the design fails before launch does, whether that is sell pressure outrunning demand, an incentive loop draining the treasury, or a vesting cliff flooding the market.


We stress-test the economy, find the breaking points, and redesign around them, so the version that goes live has already survived the conditions that kill most token launches

The Research

We published the whole method

Twenty-six articles on token design, with the client models and the dead-token charts left in. The pattern behind almost all of them is one thing: a supply schedule set before anyone worked out how much demand could absorb it.

Do you need a token?

Roughly 99% of projects do not. What a token adds that BTC, stablecoins or fiat cannot, and why launching without that answer pulls a business away from its own product.

Read

Tokenomics Explained

Tokenomics is the supply side, the allocations, valuations and vesting, whereas the token economy is how that supply meets demand. Why the second decides whether the first survives.

Read

Token utilities

Staking, governance and burning, each with the drawback the write-ups skip. Burning and simply never selling reduce circulating supply identically; what differs is optics and trustlessness.

Read

Why you need modelling

Deterministic in Excel, stochastic in Machinations, agent-based in cadCAD, with the real cost of each. What 250 randomised runs find that a spreadsheet cannot.

Read

Vesting and emissions

KPI vesting against time-based schedules, and the question neither answers cleanly: how much supply the market absorbs each month.

Token holders are not users

Holders want price appreciation, TVL and yield, whereas users want the product; incentives aimed at the first rent liquidity that leaves the moment a competitor pays more.

Valuing a token

Market cap against fully diluted market cap, and why the two get used interchangeably by people who should know better. How to value a token before it has a price.

Tokenomics modelling details

How does tokenomics modelling work, and how much does it cost?

From Assumptions to Evidence,
the model shows the difference

We’ve been doing this for years across all narratives, trends, and market conditions. Below are the details of what you can expect working with us.

01

What is tokenomics consulting?

02

How much does tokenomics design cost?

03

How much does tokenomics modelling cost?

04

How much does a tokenomics audit cost?

Frequently asked questions

01

How do you determine the ideal token supply and vesting schedule?

Token supply is irrelevant. What matters is the valuation, with regards to vesting, projected financials, and user growth of your business.

02

Does my project need a dual-token or single-token system?

There is no one answer fits all, however, generally speaking dual-token economies make sense when there is need for a soft and hard currency.

03

How do you prevent "Death Spirals" in token economic design?

We prevent death spirals by anchoring the token to tangible utility and dynamically aligning emission rates with actual network growth, ensuring that value creation always outpaces token inflation.

04

Do you offer post-TGE (Token Generation Event) monitoring and advisory?

Yes, we can work with clients after TGE. This typically includes adjusting token emissions, and modelling the economy to explore potential changes for a V2 economy.

05

Do you use Machinations.io or Python for token modeling and stress testing?

We generally use Machinations when modelling and stress testing economies, and would only recommend Python to well financed businesses with extremely complex economies.

06

What deliverables do I receive after using your Tokenomics Consultancy services?

The deliverables depend on the engagement, but you will always receive a final document with your full token economy and strategy outlined.

07

How much does tokenomics consulting cost?

Design runs $7,500 to $10,000, rising to $15,000 for MiCA-compliant work. Modelling and stress-testing runs $10,000 to $15,000 depending on the complexity of the economy. We also take a small percentage of token supply, set against your valuation, so our payment is tied to the token performing after launch. The full breakdown is in the pricing section above.

08

Can you audit a token that is already live?

Yes. Post-launch audits are common: we review the live economy against real market data, identify where incentives or emissions are working against you, and return severity-ranked findings with fixes that can be applied without a relaunch.

09

Do I need MiCA-compliant tokenomics?

If you plan to offer your token to the public in the EU or list on EU-regulated venues, yes. MiCA ties your token's regulatory classification to its design, so the economy and the white paper have to be built to match the category you fall under: utility token, asset-referenced token, or e-money token. Get the design wrong and the classification, and the offering itself, is at risk.

10

How do we know whether we need an audit or a redesign?

Start with an audit. It tells you whether the economy can be fixed with parameter changes or needs rebuilding; roughly half of our audits conclude with parameter changes rather than a redesign.

11

How long does a tokenomics engagement take?

A standard design and modelling engagement runs 3 to 5 weeks. A single-token economy moves faster; a multi-token system with several interacting incentive loops takes longer, because each loop has to be modelled and stress-tested separately.

12

Do you audit tokenomics that someone else designed?

Yes. Most of the economies we audit were designed by someone else: another consultancy, an in-house team, or a previous advisor. We review the design on its merits and report what holds and what needs to change.

13

What is the difference between tokenomics design and modelling?

Design defines the economy: supply, distribution, vesting, utility, and value accrual. Modelling tests it; we build the economy in Machinations and stress it under different market and demand conditions to see where it breaks before launch. Design is the blueprint, modelling is the wind tunnel.
