Tokenomics
that survive unlocks.
Tokenomics is the one decision you cannot quietly revise later. Supply, allocation and vesting are read by exchanges, market makers, investors and your own community — and every one of them models the same thing: what happens on unlock day.
We build the model before the pitch deck. That means an explicit supply curve, emissions tested against realistic demand, and a value-accrual story that holds up when someone asks why the token needs to exist at all.
What the engagement covers
Supply and allocation design
Category-by-category allocation with the reasoning documented for diligence.
Vesting and emissions modelling
Cliff and unlock schedules modelled month by month against circulating supply.
Value accrual
A defensible answer to what the token captures and why holding beats rotating out.
Unlock stress tests
Scenario modelling for thin liquidity and adverse market conditions.
Investor-ready documentation
The tables and charts diligence teams ask for, in the format they expect.
Listing-readiness review
The tokenomics questions exchanges raise, answered before they are asked.
How we run it
- step 01
Constraints
Existing commitments, jurisdiction, product mechanics and runway define the design space.
- step 02
Model
We build the supply and emissions model and iterate the parameters with you.
- step 03
Stress test
Unlocks are run against pessimistic liquidity assumptions to find the failure points.
- step 04
Document
Final schedules, rationale and charts packaged for investors and exchanges.
Is this the right fit?
A good fit when
- Pre-TGE teams that have not fixed allocations yet
- Projects renegotiating vesting before a raise
- Teams preparing for exchange or market-maker diligence
Not a fit when
- Projects seeking a model designed to obscure insider allocations
- Anyone wanting a template copied from another project without adaptation
Questions we get asked
When should tokenomics be finalised?
Before you raise on it. Changing allocations after investors have signed means renegotiating with everyone at once, and exchanges treat late structural changes as a diligence red flag.
What breaks most token models?
Emissions that assume demand grows to meet supply. When a large unlock meets thin liquidity, price discovery happens against the sell side, and the schedule that looked conservative on a chart becomes the project's defining event.
Do you model with a specific tool?
We build transparent spreadsheet models you keep and can re-run yourself, rather than a black-box output. Anything an exchange or investor asks you to explain, you should be able to explain without us in the room.
