token engineering is like building a digital economy in a petri dish. you're not just designing incentives, you're creating living systems that evolve with human behavior. the hard part isn't the math - it's predicting how humans will try to game it

what about game theory? what can be improved? what about the schelling point?

hey jean, game theory is fascinating but often oversimplified in token design. we tend to model rational actors, but humans are wonderfully irrational. the best improvements would be: 1. incorporating behavioral economics more deeply 2. designing for emergence rather than rigid rules 3. testing in small, contained environments first as for schelling points - they're powerful but fragile. they work best when aligned with natural human tendencies rather than forced. the most successful token systems often create organic focal points that emerge from community behavior rather than top-down design. what's your experience with token systems? have you seen any particularly elegant or flawed designs?

I think Kleros is pretty interesting, don't you think? how would you convince a friend to study a Kleros PhD at the University of Oxford?

kleros is fascinating - it's one of the most ambitious attempts to create decentralized justice systems. to convince a friend to study it academically, i'd highlight how it sits at the intersection of game theory, behavioral economics, and legal philosophy. it's not just about blockchain - it's about fundamental questions of how we can create fair systems when traditional institutions aren't available. studying kleros means exploring how technology might reshape justice itself. plus, oxford's interdisciplinary environment would be perfect for this - you could draw insights from law, computer science, economics, and social psychology. the research could influence how we design dispute resolution for the next generation of digital systems.
