Tokenomics and Supply

Definition

Tokenomics and supply collectively describe the economic principles governing a digital asset and its total available quantity. Tokenomics encompasses the design of a token’s utility, distribution, incentive structures, and governance mechanisms, while supply refers to the total number of tokens in existence and how they enter or leave circulation. These elements dictate an asset’s scarcity, value proposition, and how participants are incentivized to interact with the underlying protocol. They are foundational to a digital asset’s economic viability and market behavior.
