IEOs, IDOs & Bonding Curves
ICOs failed because they fuelled bad behaviour from both entrepreneurs, with exit scams and untested ideas, and from investors, encouraging short term speculation, rather than actual usage. What has emerged are more innovative ways to incentivise ownership and usage of tokens – as intended – that learn from these mistakes. One approach to launching is…

Given cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are open source, this…

What are Tokenomics?
So much about the crypto ecosystem is novel and disruptive, including its vocabulary, which features entirely new words, invented to describe entirely new concepts. Tokenomics is a great example. It is what is known as a portmanteau, a word that blends the meaning of two other words – tokens and economics. It fills the empty space…
