Utility
5 Token Demand Models
Five demand models for token utility: Discount, Payment, Ownership, Securities, Value Transfer. Formulas, real-world examples, and a selection algorithm.
Token Velocity: Why Payment Tokens Lose Value
Token velocity and price: MV=PQ equation, the velocity paradox, velocity sinks (staking, burning, locking), interactive calculator, and Python simulation.
Case: NFT as a Resellable Subscription
NFT subscription with a secondary market: time-decay pricing, royalties, resale economics. Formulas, scenario analysis, and interactive calculator.
Dividends vs Buyback: Two Token Utilization Models
Comparing dividend (revenue share) and buyback & burn models. Yield formulas, metrics, hybrid ve-models, and choosing the optimal utilization strategy.
Discount Model: Token Utility Through Fee Reduction
Discount token utility: price ceiling formula, discount types (fixed, tiered, dynamic), BNB and CRO case studies, and token reinforcement strategies.
Payment Model: Token as the Means of Payment
Payment utility model: token as the sole means of payment. MV=PQ equation, velocity paradox, retention mechanisms, Filecoin, ETH, and TON case studies.
Ownership Model: NFTs, RWA, and Commodity Tokens
Ownership as a token utility model: NFTs, RWA, commodity tokens. NAV and premium formulas, three types of ownership tokens, PAXG, Ondo, and RealT cases.
