Shownotes

How in the world is anyone meant to derive the "real" value of a crypto token? Especially in THIS market??
I spoke to Vasily Sumanov (x.com/vasily_sumanov), founder of Valueverse (app.valueverse.ai) and inventor of the Token Value Capture Mechanism Framework (jbba.scholasticahq.com/article/131932-token-cl…) to share how he sees it. Valueverse is a utility-centric token tracker that helps you understand the demand-side pressures for token value. Part of the neoliberal ideological turn which has also continued into crypto token releases is an over-focus on supply side economics (problematic).
We discussed token engineering as a discipline in need of an improvement, the most common mistakes people make when designing tokens, and how the VCM framework helps cut through the noise. While I'm no crypto trader and I suspect some may be surprised by an episode like this from me, I do believe that the framework is incredibly useful.
I was also very impressed by the page published by Valueverse of BREAD (app.valueverse.ai/tokens/bread), the post-capitalist token for Breadchain Cooperative (breadchain.xyz) which I co-founded. The page is super useful for people to understand the tokenomics behind the project.
