π Forget 'flat' Token taxonomies β this DYNAMIC framework digs deep into how digital assets actually generate VALUE in a #Blockchain economy..
A must-read for token engineers, regulators & Web3 builders.
πToken Classification Reimagined - Key Takeaways:
β
Value First: A novel framework classifies tokens based on Origins of Value (OoVs) and how value is captured and implemented β shifting focus from tech specs to economic purpose.
β
3-Tier Model Introduced:
β’ OoVs: Why a token has value (e.g. governance, access, cashflow)
β’ VCMs: How value is manifested (e.g. staking, voting, discounts)
β’ VCIPs: Actual technical implementations (e.g. PoS, ERC20)
β
8 Origins of Value Identified: Including value transfer, governance, representation, and even hedonic/social value.
β
Periodic Table for VCMs: Inspired by chemistry β grouping token use cases by dominant value origins.
β
Why It Matters: Empowers designers, investors & regulators to understand how and why tokens hold value β not just what they do.
β
Use Cases: Token design, investment analysis, value-based token taxonomy.
