A tokenomics upgrade refers to a modification or enhancement of the economic model and incentive structures governing a cryptocurrency token. This process can involve adjustments to supply mechanics, distribution schedules, utility functions, or staking rewards, all aimed at improving the token’s value proposition and the sustainability of its associated ecosystem. Such changes are typically implemented through protocol updates.
Context

Debates are active concerning the optimal balance between inflation and deflationary pressures, the utility of tokens within decentralized applications, and the long-term viability of various staking and reward mechanisms. The successful implementation of these upgrades is often viewed as critical for a project’s sustained growth.
