Balanced approach

Tokenomics play a fundamentally important role in the success or failure of a crypto project. In essence, good tokenomics align the incentives of all participants of a token economy. These incentives are built into the protocol and will function as such in perpetuity thereby guaranteeing the protocol’s future.

There are several reasons why tokenomics are important. For example, sound tokenomics draw in users because the incentives mechanisms in place are balanced. They do not favor miners over users, large owners over small owners, and do not disproportionately reward early participants over later ones. Instead, each participant is incentivized in such a way that propagates the protocol and is not at odds with other participants’ incentives.

Tokenomics also have a hand in dictating the long-term prospects of a blockchain project. For example, disproportionate inflation or deflation of tokens can erode the intrinsic value or underlying use case. Token distribution at launch and over time are also important components of tokenomics. The token distribution plays a key role in keeping all members of the community engaged and incentivized over time.

The goal of the Lynqyo ecosystem is to enable the building tokenomics that feature all the above, but also reward participants and fan loyalty, increase velocity, lower barriers to entry, decrease complexity where possible and make sure that the overall ecosystem is one that attracts value rather than seen as a vehicle for extracting value. To do so, projects such as Bitcoin and Ethereum have been analysed, and key learnings taken from them that we see as solid foundations for a Web3 project.
