We’re proud to be working with Eczodex, a digital asset issuance platform founded at the University of Cambridge and backed by Techstars.
Eczodex may have designed the strongest token economy we’ve ever audited, earning a final score of 8.5/9. The intricate flywheel and incentive alignment between their utility token and stablecoin is remarkable. We tried to break it, but it held up against all our stress tests.
It was a pleasure working with the team on refining the supply-side tokenomics, and we look forward to continuing the partnership!

From Bali to London’s Stablecoin Summer 🇬🇧
This August, CryptoMondays London put the spotlight on stablecoins. Our co-founder, Alex Fatuliaj, took the stage to share his insights.
Whether you joined in person or tuned in virtually, we hope you walked away with a sharper view of where stablecoins are headed and the role they’ll play in crypto’s journey forward.

Most tokenomics templates are stuck with Uniswap v2 liquidity which is flat, outdated, and nothing like how DEXs actually work today.
Ours runs on Uniswap v3-style concentrated liquidity (also works for Raydium, PancakeSwap, etc.).
That means you can:

The 4D DeFi Paradigm
Our co-founder Alex once looked at DeFi and thought:
- How is that even possible?
- Isn’t this just a giant pyramid?
- Where does the extra value come from?
😔
Through yield farming and a TradFi example, he landed on a 4D concept of DeFi:
It’s about pulling value from the time dimension into the present - not creating new money, just moving it from elsewhere.

Case study: Camino’s social media strategy for TGE
No one’s waking up thinking “I wish my flight was on-chain”
But Camino thinks they are.
Most of Camino tweets focus on promoting why their product is relevant and why they are building in the Web3 space.
However, Camino is an L1 tailored for travel-related dApps and projects, which is inherently a niche subsector within Web3.
Their strategy has relied mainly on trying to explain their relevance, mainly with the potential benefits like speeding up processes, facilitating payments, and removing friction in the travel industry.
Camino being a niche project with a niche audience counterweights the strategy since their reach is naturally lower than a project in any other popular category such as DeFi, GameFi, or InfoFi for example.
They focus way too much on “The travel-specific L1” but objectively, no one cares.
Other than reposting MEXC and Gate.io’s listing posts for the token, they never hyped nor mentioned the token, tokenomics, or listing details nearing the TGE.

Token economies are fundamentally more complex than fiat economies. Here's how to design them
In a token economy, we have a unique situation where the token not only facilitates monetary exchange but can also grant ownership, access, the ability to share data, and perform many other functions that each project has the autonomy to include.
💡You can design a token economy using the step by step process outlined in our article:

Why every serious project needs a proper audit
The purpose of the audit is to make sure the token can accrue and retain value as a function of utilities, economic policies, and supply side tokenomics. We evaluate:
🔹Token utilities on the basis of value as well as the extent of their derivation from product;
🔹Economy, similarly, on the basis of value as well as the legitimacy of its policies and its alignment of incentives;
🔹Tokenomics on the basis of supply and demand, ensuring the equilibrium price of the token isn't below listing price, as well as confirming the emissions align with market conditions.
The above is super high level and layman's terms summary of what our audits entail, but on the macro level our focus is sustainability and longevity of the token and overall ecosystem. Audits aim to poke holes at the theories and ideas, helping put your project on the right thought path about their token by giving actionable solutions (most of which are very easy to adopt) to increase that value accrual and retention.
Audit Process
1. Understand the product/service and the direction the company is heading.
2. Analyse the token utilities and economy.
3. Analyse the tokenomics.
4. Suggest improvements and implementations of any new ideas.

Nobody tells you this but designing tokenomics is 5% tables and charts, and 95% utility mechanics, incentives, policies, models, and everything in-between.
When we design tokenomics we make sure to calculate every detail and every numerical policy.
For this web2 telecoms company coming into web3, we calculated emissions in depth to ensure they align with growth projections:
- every starting and ending transaction
- how much gas is to be earned per tx
- how much is minted and when
- how TX fees compare to TX values
- how much validators should stake
- how long the hype loop actually lasts before you run out of tokens
And that's just some of it.
If your tokenomics provider doesn't understand economics or maths, you have a marketer.
At Simplicity, we have that covered.

Happy Monday ladies and gents!
A new category is forming in crypto infrastructure: Stablechains.
These are blockchains purpose-built for one asset type only. Gas, consensus, and design all centered on stablecoin payments.
In our latest research, our team mapped the early Stablechain landscape. Stablecoin activity is already outpacing Visa (>$2.8T in monthly transfers), and now issuers are building controlled ecosystems outside Ethereum/DeFi:
🔹Stable - Tether-backed, zero-gas USDT transfers
🔹Plasma - $75M raised, launching with $1B+ stablecoin TVL and a BTC bridge
🔹1Money - compliance-first, led by ex-Binance US + FinCEN regulators
🔹Circle’s Arc - USDC-native, built for institutional payments
🔹Stripe’s Tempo - payments-focused L1 designed for Web2 merchants

Solana is still leading in MAUs (monthly active users) at 61.2M but their lead is shrinking (-34% in 6 months)
NEAR has grown (+8%) to 51M MAUs, but BNB Chain surged considerably (+27%), now at 44.9M users

Stablecoins are becoming much more than on-chain fiat. With current traction and regulatory approvals, are stablecoins going mainstream?

💡New research: Measuring Tokens’ Fundamentals with Ratios Across Narratives
In traditional finance, valuations rely on clear metrics like P/E, P/S, or EBITDA. In crypto, it’s different - projects are often (wrongly) valued by their token. What really matters? Liquidity, trading volume, and fees.
In this research, we blend traditional finance logic with crypto-native metrics to uncover which projects actually have strong fundamentals, and which are propped up by hype.

🚨 Big milestone for our tokenomics client Portal to Bitcoin ($530M FDV). They faced Binance Alpha sell pressure and held strong, thanks to a treasury buyback strategy and tokenomics rebuilt by us that reduce emissions and support long-term sustainability.
🌍 Tokenomics fully rebuilt by Simplicity with a bespoke emissions model.

This is the type of case study we’re proud to stand behind and you heard it from the team themselves, Simplicity is your best investment

For Portal to Bitcoin (FDV $620M), we built a custom emissions calculator from scratch.
It shows exactly how emissions behave based on different inputs, such as:
🔹how many tokens are distributed per user
🔹how quickly rewards dry up
🔹when the model becomes outright unprofitable
🔹every starting and ending transaction
🔹how much gas is earned per tx
🔹how much is minted and when
🔹how TX fees compare to TX values
🔹how much validators should stake
🔹how long the hype loop actually lasts before tokens run out
And that’s just part of it. The calculator is color-coded, visual, and clear.
Our client just needs to plug in real data, tweak the levers, and see the outcomes.
This is the kind of work we do at Simplicity - and the results our clients get.
