🏅 [Analysis] Incentivizing participation and growth in communities (using crypto-economics) - David Truong

In this piece, David Truong meshes group participation theory with crypto-economics. Truong notes five distinct problems: lack of participation, information gaps between participant abilities and project needs, lack of resources, lack of early adapter base, and eventual loss of core participants. Input over time can be maximized, however, through proper incentivization. All projects contain participants with varying levels of input and by constructing token disbursements on a protocol level according to community criteria, individual inputs can be maximized. In crypto-economics, digital tokens can perform this useful function by dispensing token payments as an objective measurement of project participation. So, a good proxy of project engagement would be one's token supply against the total token supply in the community.
