Abstract
The article provides an overview of the evolving economic incentive designs in decentralized systems. After introducing the decentralized economic policy tools that influence token design, the author examines the leading token models in a hand-selected dataset comprising the top one hundred cryptocurrencies by market capitalization (N=100). The dataset enables a time series trend analysis of token models, consensus algorithms, and governance mechanisms, among other data points.
