7 reasons why our tokenomics template is objectively superior
1️⃣ V3 DEX model. No other template has the concentrated liquidity model for DEXs (used in Uniswap, Raydium, Pancakeswap, etc.), because it involves calculus and is too complex - they all have V2, which is inaccurate, nor useful, because its outdated.
2️⃣ One main table. Most templates split up investor and other tranches into two or even three parts: it's useless and confusing. We have it in one.
3️⃣ No unnecessary elements. We work with top VCs, CEXs, MMs, LPads, lawyers. We know what they want to see.
4️⃣ Conditional formatting to show when investors become profitable.
5️⃣ Super easy to fill out. Cell with gold border = fill it in. Plus instructions sheet, YouTube video explainer, and links to key articles that teach you how to design your own tokenomics.
6️⃣ More detailed. Not just pie chart and emissions, but 13 charts, conditional formatting, TGE price impact calculator. Everything VCs want to see, and what will help you strategise.
7️⃣ Financials + equity valuation. We added a simple financials template and discounted cash flow valuation calculator.

Why governance as a token utility is fundamentally flawed for most crypto projects?
In a new video, Alex argues that:
1. Governance is mostly unnecessary unless required for legal structuring (e.g. DAOs/foundations instead of companies)
2. Most crypto decisions are convex, meaning they should be made quickly by informed insiders (e.g. founders)
3. Token holders don’t care about your project and strategic decisions. Voting is dominated by whales and insiders anyway.

Why Governance Tokens Are a Scam (Most of the Time)
Governance tokens are everywhere in crypto… but should they be?
In this video, we break down why governance is one of the worst token utilities for 99% of projects, unless you're doing it strictly for legal structuring or tax reasons.

Do futures listings help or hurt token performance?
In one of our studies, we analyzed 20 tokens listed on Binance futures, comparing their price performance over time (against both USDT and BTC).
Our findings showed that most tokens drop immediately after futures go live, and only some recover long-term - mostly depending on broader fundamentals, not futures alone.
Here’s what we found 👇
1. Most tokens drop fast:
Only 10% were up after 1 week, and just 18–20% showed gains after 1 month.
2. Recovery is rare in the mid-term:
While a few (AAVE, FET, RNDR) bounced back in 2–3 months, most continued to slide.

We looked at the teams downloading our tokenomics template. That middle 42.3% is the danger zone.
This is where founders overconfident and end up with broken supply, bloated FDV, or unsustainable emissions. Seen it more times than we can count :(
The 10.3% redoing models is that’s what happens when you design in a vacuum, or copy-paste someone else’s spreadsheet without understanding the mechanics.
If you're anywhere on this curve, use the template:

Pleasure to work with Satsuma, the main DEX on the new Citrea chain offering spot and a launchpad!
The underlying BitVM-based chain, Citrea, uses Bitcoin as its settlement layer via Clementine, and Satsuma is a native DEX where users can swap assets with low fees, earn yield on their sats, and access the Bitcoin Layer 2 economy.
It's a pleasure to be advising on tokenomics, go-to-market, and several core strategic layers.
Solid team and infrastructure.
Glad to help! 🤝

Our tokenomics template is V3 native - what does it mean?
In V2, liquidity sits across the entire price range, most of it unused.
In V3, you can concentrate liquidity where your token actually trades.
That means:
- Tighter spreads
- Less slippage
- Better depth
- Lower emissions needed for LP incentives
We’ve modeled this in our advanced tokenomics template. Not just for Uniswap, but also for Radium, PancakeSwap, and other top DEXes using AMM models.
Because CEXs use market makers who buy when you sell.
DEXs are automated, and if you don’t plan for it properly, you’ll bleed value at every trade.
We fixed that.

Should staking be used to acquire users or for user retention?
For non-PoS projects, staking rewards can be a way to acquire new users. Offering yield just for buying and staking the token, you drive demand and soak up liquidity, which can help with short-term price performance.
But relying on staking as your main growth lever is short-sighted. From a user’s point of view, yield is yield. They don’t care how it’s implemented. And that raises four questions you need to answer
- Who are you rewarding?
- Where are the rewards coming from?
- What is your contingency plan for supply shocks?
- Are you bordering on security laws?
In our research article, we are providing a framework for what you should think about prior to implementing staking.

Conference season is coming: some tips if you’re doing events this year.
✅ A real-world event with real people signals legitimacy and positions you as a serious player.
✅ In-person meetings move investment conversations forward way faster than Telegram groups.
But also...
❌ Free drinks ≠ conversions. You need to collect leads, nurture them, and close deals.
❌ Provide VALUE > “Come hear us pitch ourselves for 3 hours”

We’re excited to be working with Helios, a modular EVM Layer 1 secured by multi-chain assets and powered by I-PoSR - a reputation-based, AI-ready consensus model built for scalable Web3.
Helios is a unifying layer that connects leading ecosystems through an intelligent multi-consensus architecture. It enables developers to seamlessly tap into networks like Avalanche, Polygon, BSC, and others via Hyperion Modules.
Helios delivers a secure, composable, and future-proof consensus layer for cross-chain collaboration, automation, and governance with native EVM + Cosmos support.
We’re working closely with Helios to design a token economy that matches their technical ambitions and to sharpen their fundraising story, to make them the go-to infrastructure for meaningful cross-chain development.
