Which Web3 projects need tokenomics auditing?

Defi Image

DeFi

Ensure feedback loops won't cause implosion/explosion.

Gaming Image

Gaming

Confirm a stable in-game economy balancing inflationary/deflationary mechanisms.

Utility Image

Utility

Verify token insurance against financial assumptions.

Stablecoins Image

Stablecoins

Analyse edge-case scenarios of peg and collateralization.

When is the right time to audit tokenomics?

Conduct an audit to establish secure and reliable tokenomics before the token launch.

Post-launch audits are crucial to assess real-world performance and make necessary adjustments.

Regular audits ensure ongoing compliance, maintain investor trust, and swiftly detect potential issues.

FAQ

  • What is a Tokenomics Audit?
    Tokenomics Audit is a thorough, independent audit performed by Hacken focusing on protocol economic security ensuring token model robustness and efficiency and conveying trust to investors and community.
  • What is the value of using your Tokenomics Audit?
    Our services provide valuable advantages to your project, both internally and externally. Internal Benefits: We assist clients in enhancing their token economy, making it more robust and efficient. External Benefits: We deliver tangible proof of your tokenomics' robustness, which can be utilized in investor discussions and shared with retail investors. This helps boost trust and confidence in your project.
  • What are the processes in your Tokenomics Audit?
    1. Structural Analysis: We use formal tools to examine the incentives and inter-relationships between agents, combining qualitative and quantitative elements. Structural analysis identifies issues like feedback loops and misaligned incentives through game theoretic breakdowns, value flow diagrams, and equations. 2. Empirical Analysis: We analyze data from similar existing projects to understand how the system would perform under real-world conditions. By using statistical modeling and machine learning techniques, we provide "soft proof" of a design's potential success. 3. Numerical Models for Fair Valuation: With simulations and financial projections, we generate price projections across thousands of scenarios, considering factors like starting price, distribution, holding time, staking, and speculation dynamics. This analysis helps confirm whether the tokenomics model promotes token appreciation, based on the company's financial projections and business assumptions. 4. Stress Testing: Stress testing identifies weak points in the design by simulating potential negative outcomes, such as the token price crashing. This final step before rating ensures that any weaknesses are addressed and, if necessary, the design process iterates. 5. Rating: We provide a tokenomics project rating based on our unique assessment questionnaire and guidelines from the Journal of the British Blockchain Association. This rating informs knowledgeable investors about potential risks associated with the project, focusing on tokenomics rather than external factors like product-market fit or marketing.
