"Governance" and "utility" aren't real token categories. What matters is their built in and inalienable (inherent) properties. You can't pray your token into being seen as a "store of value". But you *can* create a decentralized network-marketplace with an integrated token that can be issued for incentives + capture fees for programmatic buybacks. This is a network token.

Every network token should have an economic model, including the collection of fees that can be used for token buybacks. This helps sustain the value of the token, which can be continuously issued to pay for the growth or operation of the network's marketplace (SOL, ETH, UNI are all examples).

Experimentation is good and we need more of it, particularly in apps in crypto. It's even better if experimentation benefits from what we've learned so far about tokens. A big lesson I've learned is that a network or token's technical properties are its destiny, economically. Much of "vibe" comes from function.

"It's a governance token." Thank you — I have learned nothing.

Here's another version of the chart I like. Network tokens are great — it's the thing that excites me most about crypto. Arcade tokens are imo very underexplored ($FLY is a new, developing example).

The industry is mature enough that we can categorize tokens based on their legal, economic, and technical properties. It shouldn't be surprising that not all tokens have the same legal status or long term economic prospects! https://a16zcrypto.com/posts/article/defining-tokens/

The "network" in network state should stand for network effect, which is how all states form: they marshal resources created by network effects and maintain control of them. Technology has created opportunities for new kinds of network effects and eroded old ones — implying that there could be new kinds of states.

Has anyone played Shadowdark or Adventurer Conqueror King System: Imperial Imprint (ACKS2)? I’m hearing great things about both.

If this story makes sense and works, then "pay by USDC" / "pay by crypto" could work even better. I'm hoping to see this with Stripe's new crypto payment product.

Dream camera, wish it existed: - compact (Ricoh GR III-sized) - physical knobs for shutter speed, aperture, and ISO - SD card - charges via USB-C with swappable battery - modest zoom (~24-50 range would be great) but fixed would be fine

This is one of my favorite podcasts episodes — it's about on a recent event in COMP governance, but the best part is talking with Andy Hall (a16z crypto research + Stanford) about ways crypto can uniquely solve gov challenges in new, really compelling ways. https://warpcast.com/a16zcrypto/0x90b72132

Why and how should you launch a network token? I gave this talk at our Crypto Startup Accelerator in London about the reasons for launching tokens, and when + how to launch them. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miAbQdXg6Gc
