How do I know if I’m a Token Engineering project?

As the field of Token Engineering evolves, it is common for projects to be unsure if they can be considered Token Engineering projects. To provide clarity, we have outlined a set of criteria that can help you determine if your project falls under the scope of Token Engineering.

A few things you can look for:

Token Economy Design: Your project involves the design, analysis, and implementation of token economies. This includes defining token utility, distribution mechanisms, incentive structures, and governance protocols.
Blockchain Integration: Your project integrates or plans to integrate blockchain technology to enable token-based interactions, secure data management, and decentralized decision-making.
Mechanism Design: Your project employs mechanism design principles to align incentives, encourage desired behaviors, and create robust systems.
Economic Models and Simulations: Your project utilizes economic models and simulations to study the behavior of the token economy under various conditions and to optimize system parameters.
Smart Contract Development: Your project involves the development of smart contracts or other blockchain-based protocols to implement the designed token economy.
Governance and Decentralization: Your project emphasizes decentralized decision-making, community governance, and participatory structures.
Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Token Engineering projects often require collaboration between experts in various fields, such as economics, computer science, game theory, and social sciences.
Open Source and Transparency: Your project values openness, transparency, and the sharing of knowledge and code within the community.
