I think one of the most important things is for protocol teams or communities to first figure out what it is that they’re trying to accomplish and what their token specifically will be used for. For a lot of work token models like KEEP, NuCypher, or The Graph, the token is used to provide a service — the token is serving as a tax medallion. And so... See more

I love that. That’s super interesting. Okay. So, I have some sort of nosy questions for you. How do you get paid and how is it determined how much you get paid?

1. How the community can participate towards meaningful objectives for the network (give tokens for work to be done)

Web3 emphasizes the freedom of the individual. In an ideal Web3 world, creator A is on a decentralized platform Z instead, which is run by smart contracts and gives creators more of their revenue. On top of that, platform Z probably has some tokens like $ZDAO that control governance - and this tokenization of governance disallows unilateral... See more

In Coordinape's current app distributing funds is a manual process, with Gnosis Safe and Disperse App being popular ways to use our CSVs for distribution. Soon, we will integrate our first contract element with Coordinape: the ApeVaults.ApeVaults are Ethereum mainnet vault contracts that can be minted by a DAO to hold currency or native tokens in...

So, in summary, single, dual, or triple token models are irrelevant if the game's sink and sources are not thoroughly considered + target demographic + game objectives.  Personally, I favor a dual or triple token model that separates investor and player incentives.
