A token economy describes the system of incentives and value exchange built around a digital token within a specific platform or application. This framework defines how tokens are issued, distributed, used, and consumed to motivate user behavior, govern the system, and facilitate internal transactions. It aims to align the interests of all participants—users, developers, and validators—with the network’s overall health and growth. A well-designed token economy is critical for the long-term sustainability and adoption of decentralized projects.
