CryptoEconLab offers cryptoeconomic services that enable teams to design and maintain robust incentives and tokenomics.

What We Do

We are an R&D cryptoeconomics lab operating at the unique intersection of blockchain technology, computer science, network science, statistics, economics, and systems engineering.

Our specialties include token design, mechanism/incentive design, economic audits, network analytics, and protocol governance.

We enable the creation of new financial markets, the development of novel digital asset products, and the exploration of new investment opportunities.

In an increasingly networked and open world, cryptoeconomics will play an ever larger role in coordinating human and machine activities in building a better future.

Who We Are

CryptoEconLab is split in two core functions developing projects that have a positive impact on the global economy:

Advisory Services

The Advisory team leverages established economic knowledge to develop solutions, beginning with identifying key objectives and ending with mathematical modelling, to address specific problems faced by our clients in building their crypto-native projects.

Filecoin Core

Filecoin Core continues our longstanding development of the Filecoin economy by developing models, proposing economic solutions and sustaining the growth of teams in the Protocol Labs Network.

Focus Areas

Mechanism & Token Design

For teams building new projects (or doing major revamps on their current project), we can provide support and guidance in designing the underlying economic model and tokenomics.

This involves defining the system and actors and designing the main economic mechanisms and policies. We can provide a proposal for the mechanisms that can be used (and their tradeoffs), build simulations, and tune parameters based on economic goals

Protocol Impact Analysis

Technical changes to protocols lead to impacts on the economics of the system. In these cases, we can assess the potential impact of a specific change proposal and propose mitigation strategies.

This involves understanding the change and the current economic model of the project, building simulations to quantify the impact on a set of economic metrics, and communicating the economic tradeoffs of the change.

Economic Audits

For teams with ongoing projects or newly launched projects, we can provide a critical analysis of the underlying economic model and tokenomics. Such analysis has two main benefits, namely, uncovering potential issues with the current design and increasing confidence in the project.

This includes a description of the incentives of the system's main actors, an analysis of the reward mechanisms, and a simulation-based stress-test of the main metrics that characterize the system's economy.

Network Analytics & Monitoring

Evaluate and analyze the performance of blockchain networks. Monitoring and tracking key metrics such as transaction throughput, latency, block size, and block time. Helping teams identify any issues that may be hindering the performance of their network and also to better understand user behavior and trends.

Business Strategy & Market Opportunity Assessment

Analyzing the potential of cryptocurrency and blockchain projects. These assessments involve examining the project's value proposition to consumers, revenue generating opportunities, and defining success metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) in the long-term.

Assessments also involve analyzing the competitive environment, identifying potential risks, and identifying opportunities for growth. Ultimately, these assessments are used to help determine whether the project is worth investing in or not.
