Question 1

What is crypto economics consulting?

Accepted Answer

Crypto economics consulting involves designing and optimizing token economies, incentive mechanisms, and governance systems for blockchain protocols and Web3 projects. It combines economic theory, game theory, and mechanism design to create sustainable digital economies.

Question 2

How much does tokenomics design cost?

Accepted Answer

Tokenomics design costs vary based on project complexity, scope, and timeline. Our engagements typically range from $50K to $500K+ depending on the deliverables required. We offer tailored proposals based on your specific needs and project requirements.

Question 3

What is the difference between tokenomics and crypto economics?

Accepted Answer

Tokenomics focuses specifically on token supply, distribution, and utility within a protocol. Crypto economics is broader, encompassing the entire economic system including incentive mechanisms, governance, security models, and stakeholder alignment across the ecosystem.

Question 4

How long does a tokenomics design project take?

Accepted Answer

Most tokenomics design projects take 8-16 weeks depending on complexity. This includes research, modeling, simulation, documentation, and iteration phases. Rush projects can be completed in 4-6 weeks with dedicated resources.

Question 5

Do you work with early-stage startups or only established protocols?

Accepted Answer

We work with projects at all stages, from pre-seed startups to established protocols with billions in TVL. Our approach is tailored to each project's maturity level, resources, and specific challenges.

Question 6

What deliverables do you provide in a tokenomics engagement?

Accepted Answer

Typical deliverables include token economy whitepapers, mathematical models, simulation tools, governance frameworks, emission algorithms, security analyses, and implementation roadmaps. Each engagement is customized to project needs.

Question 7

Can you help with existing token economies that need optimization?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we frequently audit and optimize existing token economies. This includes identifying inefficiencies, proposing improvements, modeling changes, and helping implement upgrades through governance processes.

Question 8

What blockchain networks do you work with?

Accepted Answer

We're blockchain-agnostic and work across all major networks including Ethereum, Polygon, Solana, Cosmos, Polkadot, and emerging L1s/L2s. Our focus is on economic design principles that apply universally.

Question 9

Do you provide ongoing support after project completion?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer ongoing advisory retainers, governance support, and optimization services. Many clients engage us for quarterly reviews, parameter adjustments, and strategic guidance as their protocols evolve.

Question 10

What makes CryptoEconLab different from other crypto consultancies?

Accepted Answer

Our unique combination of academic rigor, practical experience with 20+ successful projects, and proven track record with $1B+ in value creation. We focus on sustainable, long-term economic design rather than short-term token price optimization.
