Part VI: Cryptoeconomics

Blockchain applications differ from traditional software in one crucial aspect. Through the incorporation of cryptocurrencies, blockchain applications have built-in economic incentives for network security, trust, data exchange, and user behaviors. Besides software architecture, the economic and incentive design is also critical for the success of blockchain ecosystems and applications.

In this part of the book, I will cover incentive designs known as cryptoeconomics. We will look into topics such as token classification, token valuation, and crowd-funded token sales and exchanges.
