Who should get this book?

www.newsletter.economicsdesign.com

I wish I could say that the book is for everyone. But it is not. This book is very specific to people in or trying to get into the crypto and DeFi space. If it feels like a good fit for you then you can pre-order and save up to 47% + get free access to premium subscription of our newsletter for an entire month: book.economicsdesign.com

In general, this book can be split into two main sections. Chapters 1 to 13 focus on economics. Chapters 14 to 25 focus on DeFi and the mathematics of such mechanisms.

If you are a protocol creator

That means you have an idea and you want to turn that idea into a smart contract on blockchain. I recommend that you start this way:

  • Understand foundations:

    • Chapter 4: Outcome and Constraints

    • Chapter 6: Market Design

    • Chapter 8: Mechanism Design

    • Chapter 10: Token Design

    • Chapter 13: Other Economics Principles

  • Bonding curve introduction:

    • Chapter 11: Bonding Curves

  • DeFi introduction:

    • Chapter 14: Economics of Decentralised Finance (DeFi)

  • Math for DeFi applications:

    • Chapter 16: Math of Stable Token

    • Chapter 17: Math of Decentralised Market Maker Mechanisms (AMM)

    • Chapter 18: Fundraising Bonding Curve

    • Chapter 19: Crypto Insurance • Chapter 20: Crypto Derivatives

    • Chapter 20: Crypto Derivatives

  • Governance:

    • Chapter 22: DAO, The Future of Governance

If you are a retail investor

You are probably looking for fundamental analysis before investing long-term with these protocols. Great job looking at fundamentals instead of only market analysis.

    • Chapter 7: [Case Study] Nexus Mutual

    • Chapter 9: [Case Study] MakerDAO

    • Chapter 12: [Case Study] Bancor

    • Chapter 25: [Case Study] Tokenise This Book

    • Chapter 26: Future of Tokenised Ecosystems

  • DeFi introduction:

    • Chapter 14: Economics of Decentralised Finance (DeFi)

  • Math for DeFi applications:

    • Chapter 16: Math of Stable Token

    • Chapter 17: Math of Decentralised Market Maker Mechanisms (AMM)

    • Chapter 18: Fundraising Bonding Curve

    • Chapter 19: Crypto Insurance

    • Chapter 20: Crypto Derivatives

  • Governance:

    • Chapter 22: DAO, The Future of Governance

If you are looking to get educated about the space

Maybe because you want to get a job in the space, you want to learn more to be an investor, you want to consult for projects or you want to start your own project. That is all fantastic.

If you are a regulator

Thank you for not just trying to squash a new evolving system into an old existing system, not trying to put “new wine into old wineskins”. Regulation works hand in hand with innovation, to support new systems and new ways of doing things.
