| 01 | Introduction In this lesson, we share the basic principles in economics, the difference between cryptoeconomics and token economics, design process of designing the economics of your token ecosystem and introduce the token economics framework for the first time. We also address the common questions asked about the framework.

| 02 | Token Economics Principles This lesson took 2 months to prepare. We discover the foundational principles of economics, because we will be building token economics based on these foundational principles. That includes resources, network economies, coordination and incentives. We also dive into the 7 wonders of token economics. We introduce 7 concepts of economics, and how they differ when applying them in the real world VS the crypto world.

| 03 | Market Design In this lesson, we introduce the first pillar in the framework. We share the foundational principles and how it is linked to the token ecosystem. We then share 3 factors in the pillar, with practical ways to apply them in your token ecosystem. We conclude with a case study and applying the factors to the case study.

| 04 | Mechanism Design 1 In this lecture, we introduce pillar 2, mechanism design. We share about the principles of mechanism design, how it is relevant to your ecosystem and the first factor - Governance. We talk about the various suggestions to implementing governance with crypto-project examples.

| 05 | Mechanism Design 2 In this lecture, we continue pillar 2, mechanism design. We share about the 2 types of non-financial incentives: allocation mechanism and voting protocol. We share suggestions with crypto-projects and conclude with a solution table, depending on the problem your project is facing.

| 07 | Token Design 1 This is the first lesson for the last pillar, Token Design. We introduce the terms that will be used, considerations (permissioned vs permissionless DLT) and general concepts. Then we share about monetary policy and the tools available. Lastly, we share how they can be applied to your token ecosystem.
