The @EconsDesign audit on Mina’s tokenomics just dropped. Here’s what you need to know: • Inflation: 9% (no burn, no protocol fees) • No decentralized treasury • Rewards fully funded by emissions, not usage • zkApp adoption still low limited fee revenue The audit simulates several fixes: ✓ Add protocol fees (burn + treasury) ✓ Reduce inflation gradually ✓ Token locking to reduce sell pressure ✓ Redirect rewards to treasury Key takeaway: Mina has world-class ZK tech but its economics need work. This report is a roadmap for a more sustainable protocol.
📣 @EconsDesign Tokenomics Report is Complete! The third-party study examines Mina’s current tokenomics, compares it with peer projects, and simulates changes to inform community discussion about inflation and other economic aspects of the protocol. 1/2 minaprotocol.com/blog/econom…

It’s counterintuitive, but the best tokenomic design for a project (and retail) is to not have investor lock ups and have as much tokens to be as circulating as possible on Day 1 (except team, treasury) One year cliff and 3-4 year vests are a poor standard that came about from a misunderstanding of capital markets and lazy copy pasting from prior projects In reality, long vests have little impact on investor contribution post TGE. Good investors will be supportive whether tokens are vesting or not. Opposite for passive investors The standard needs to change

The Mina Foundation hosted a community call to discuss proposed changes to the tokenomics of the @MinaProtocol, Focusing on staking mechanisms and the creation of a decentralized treasury. The main speaker from @EconsDesign presented findings based on a community RFC request to re-evaluate the expansion rate and distribution of rewards within the Mina ecosystem. Key Proposals 1. Token Locking for Staking: - Current Model: Mina’s staking mechanism allows users to stake tokens without locking them, providing full liquidity. This flexibility encourages participation but lacks commitment. - Proposed Change: Introducing mandatory token locking for stakers. The rationale is that locked tokens enhance the ecosystem's sustainability by reducing circulating supply, potentially increasing the token’s value. - Expected Outcome: The proposal may reduce the overall staking ratio but will increase rewards for participants who lock their tokens, offering more predictable annual percentage yields (APYs). 2. Decentralized Treasury: - Creation of a Treasury: A portion of the tokens emitted during each block would be redirected to a decentralized treasury rather than increasing overall inflation. This treasury would fund protocol growth and community development. - Funding Method: Redistribution of excess emissions from block rewards to build a robust financial foundation for ecosystem projects. 3. Dynamic Fee Structure (Phase Two): - Dynamic Fees: A second phase of the proposal involves adjusting transaction fees based on network congestion. During high activity periods, fees would increase, contributing further to the treasury. Community Involvement - Feedback is being gathered from the community to refine the proposals. Final decisions will be made through Mina Improvement Proposals (MIPs), which will be voted on by Mina holders. Next Steps - Discussions on Mina’s research forum and further community input will shape the final parameters of the token locking mechanism and treasury replenishment plan. - If approved, the implementation process will begin, ensuring the long-term sustainability of the Mina protocol. This call marks a significant step toward strengthening Mina’s tokenomics and ensuring future ecosystem growth. Dive in here: 🔗youtube.com/watch?v=lhBCfVmU…

🃏Fully explained $EIGEN Analysis and Possible Reward Calculation [This is solely my opinion, you shouldn't use this as it's not a financial advice, only those asking for my opinion] $EIGEN is currently non-transferrable but estimate around 30th Sept. 2024 ---🧮 Tokenomics and to Supply --- Currently, there is no detailed tokenomics so, trade premarket with caution as they are subjected to volatility. ⚡️ S01 Allocation [6.7%]. -- 111,890,000 $EIGEN _____ Second phase added to S01 which makes it total -- 113M $EIGEN blog.eigenfoundation.org/cla… ------ ⚡️ S02 Allocation [5.15%] -- 86,105,000. $EIGEN TOTAL ALLOCATION: 111,890,000 + 86,105,000 = 197,995,000 $EIGEN Adding the second phase makes it ~ 199,105,000 $EIGEN --🧮 Contract address --- 0xec53bF9167f50cDEB3Ae105f56099aaaB9061F83 ---🧮 According to yulia & maditim analysis on DUNE: --- dune.com/yulia_is_here/eigen… dune.com/maditim/eigenlayer-… 🚦 Total staked $EIGEN -- 74,367,455 with 417 Operators. 🚦 Currently, ~78.7% [ 88,831,000 ] have claimed $EIGEN in S01 and unclaimed S01 reward: -- 24,069,000 $EIGEN 🚦 Foundation/Investors/ Liquidity allocation is not known at the moment, but most times, they won't be circulating at TGE. Meanwhile, Total Staked $EIGEN -- ~74,367,455 from over 55k users which will possibly have an Initial High price/FDV 🚦 Over 40% of claimed $EIGEN is staked Staking will likely make users eligible for other reward, but remember, we already unstaked [I feel it's gonna be crumbs, bro! i need my money] xitter.cf/mztacat/status/1819783… ---🧮 Possible listing price --- Initial supply [ based on community token (S01 & S02)] -- 199,105,000 If ~74M is staked, we have == 124M left, Using a rough base, we will conclude, 124M is the circulating supply which we know S02 will likely not circulate at TGE: 🚦 A price of $5 will subject an M.cap of -- $620M with 8.3B FDV which is feasible as long as Binance is in, which will create some level of hype ---🧮 Exchange listing --- $EIGEN has been added to Coinbase Roadmap 🚦Listing on Gateio confirmed 🚦Listing on Bybit, MEXC among other exchanges confirmed 🚦Binance, OKX, Huobi next!
🃏UPDATE ON $EIGEN: UNDELEGATING PROCESS Eigen is expected around September, and there is a 28 days cooling period.. If you plan to sell at launch, better to undelegate now, if want to keep staking, you may leave it. 📍Visit: app.eigenlayer.xyz/ ✨ Connect Wallet ✨ Undelegate $EIGEN Confirm transaction and DONE🫡
