Tokenomics Intermediate

Tokenomics describes how a token is created, distributed and removed, and what it is actually used for.

It covers emission schedule, maximum supply, allocation to insiders, vesting timetables, and any burn mechanism. A generous yield funded purely by new issuance is dilution wearing a friendly name.

For mined coins, tokenomics and mining economics are the same subject viewed from two directions: emission is miner revenue.

This definition is educational and not financial advice. Crypto is volatile and high-risk — always do your own research.
