Duties and Responsibilities:
- Design token economic models that align user incentives with protocol objectives (staking, yield, governance, etc.).
- Develop and simulate models for token distribution, inflation/deflation mechanics, and treasury management.
- Collaborate with product, engineering, and legal teams to ensure token designs are technically feasible and regulatory-aware.
- Create frameworks for emissions schedules, vesting, airdrops, and liquidity mining strategies.
- Analyze and forecast market dynamics, including supply/demand, token velocity, and speculative pressures.
- Benchmark against comparable ecosystems and iterate on models based on real-world user behavior.
- Produce clear documentation and presentations to explain token models to internal teams, investors, and communities.
- Stay up to date with emerging DeFi mechanisms, governance innovations, and macroeconomic conditions affecting crypto markets.
Requirements and Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Economics, Finance, Mathematics, or a related field.
- Proven experience in designing tokenomic models for crypto protocols, DAOs, or DeFi platforms.
- Proficiency in modeling tools such as Excel, Python, or agent-based simulation frameworks.
- Understanding of blockchain technologies, smart contracts, and decentralized governance systems.
- Strong knowledge of crypto market dynamics and incentive design principles.
- Ability to translate complex economic models into actionable protocol mechanisms.
- Clear communication skills, with experience presenting to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Familiarity with token launch mechanics, liquidity provisioning, and on-chain analytics platforms is a plus.
