Towards a Practice of Token Engineering – Ocean Protocol

In my previous article, I described why we need to get incentives right when we build tokenized ecosystems. Here, I ask: how do we design incentives for these tokenized ecosystems? And actually since incentives are the heart of tokenized ecosystems, it's really: how do we design tokenized ecosystems? And, how do we analyze and verify them? This article is a first stake in the ground towards a practice of token engineering: the theory, practice and tools to analyze, design, and verify tokenized ecosystems. The first section of this article relates token designs to other fields and explains why "engineering". This section relates token design to other fields. How did the bridge collapse? The designers did anticipate for wind, after all. However, they failed to anticipate that the particular wind patterns would set up resonance with the bridge itself.
