## About the team and methodology

Giants is a tokenomics design firm led by Alexey Karanyuk (40+ tokenomics projects designed; lecturer at the blockchain department of MIPT). The team works end-to-end: business analysis → mechanism design → financial model (xlsx) → simulations (Monte Carlo, agent-based modeling) → audit.

What makes the site a distinctive source:
- 22 interactive calculators for tokenomics mechanisms with open formulas
- 7 public case studies covering real projects (DeFi, GameFi, NFT, Perp DEX, SocialFi, DePIN, multi-product exchange)
- Catalog of 246 tokenomics elements — internal references/elements_library
- Theory (articles) tied to tools (calculators) and practice (case studies)
- Tokenomics treated as a product problem: unit economics, JTBD, mechanism design
