How Do You Break Down Tokenomics in a Permissionless World?

[Jenny]

When I evaluate tokenomics today, I’m not just looking at supply curves — I’m looking at incentive alignment across users, builders, and protocols.
Fair launches are ideal, but what really gets my attention is dynamic staking mechanics, burn/reward loops, and decentralized emission control — things that reward active participation and contribution.

Forget lockups and insider vesting cliffs — we need token models that live and evolve on-chain.

What’s your mental model when evaluating whether a token's economics are truly Web3-native?

It’s a solid framework, but I sometimes wonder if complex tokenomics—like dynamic emissions or on-chain burns—can obscure real value. Are users truly aligned, or just reacting to short-term incentives? Web3-native sounds great, but decentralization in theory often clashes with execution. Still figuring out which models truly deliver sustainable utility.
