Given the rich design space for tokens, I've long wanted an elegant taxonomy for categorizing them. @eddy, @milesjennings, and @skominers have finally done it... evaluating tokens across their technical, legal, and economic dimensions.

"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.

Simply defining tokens based on what they do leads to constantly shifting and recycled narratives. Defining tokens in terms of both what they do and don't do enables greater clarity.👇

Tokens aren't cryptocurrency. In this episode of web3 with a16z, @eddy, @skominers, @hackr, @milesjennings, break down what they really are. Tune in: https://a16zcrypto.com/posts/podcast/token-guide-types-design-uses/ We move beyond conventional categories — like “governance tokens” or “utility tokens” or even “memecoins” — to present a full taxonomy of what tokens are, what they aren’t, and what they’re capable of becoming. Questions we explore: What is a token? Is it a form of money? A piece of data? Something else? How many types of tokens are there — and who is in control of each? And how should we think about their actual economic, legal, and technical characteristics? We also dig into different token designs and their uses; where tokens derive value from; how they jibe with securities law; and much more.

memecoiners were so preoccupied with whether or not they could coin it they didn't stop to think if they should
