design of tokenized economic systems

Cryptoeconomics is the interdisciplinary theoretic discipline which addresses the alignment of individual incentives with community goals over time in digital decentralized economic systems. Mechanisms dictate the rules of the game on the microscopic level, policies and incentives institutionalize behavioral patterns on the meso level and emergent system properties as well as desired system goals are manifestations of aggregations of individual actions on the macroscopic level.

Complex Systems Engineering is the methodological counterpart to Cryptoeconomics as it provides the appropriate toolkit for modeling, design, simulation, implementation and control of digital ecosystems. The engineering approach enables a full life cycle perspective with adequate focus on specification, maintenance and governance. Based on tailored research design and selected modeling and simulation techniques it equips system architects and stakeholders with the required information to be able to make sound and educated decisions.
