GridEcon is a boutique tokenomics advisory practice specializing in DePIN protocols and Web3 founders. We bring rigorous economic analysis, grounded in cross-sector experience across traditional finance, emerging markets, and Web3, to token design at every stage of a protocol's lifecycle.
Focused expert input on a specific design question, on demand.
An ongoing strategic advisor for protocols navigating live decisions.
Complete tokenomics architecture built in phases, from scoping to delivery.
Independent expert review of a fully developed token model.
Advisory Sessions
Expert tokenomics input, on demand. Each session is a focused, real-time working conversation, no ramp-up or retainer required.
A focused, real-time working conversation. Bring a specific design question, mechanism you're stress-testing, or decision you need clarity on. No ramp-up required; come prepared with context and you'll leave with clear, actionable direction.
Best for: founders who know what they need input on and have enough foundation to move forward independently.
Three focused advisory sessions to use as needed across your design process. Sessions don't expire and can be spaced to match the pace of your build: one to pressure-test your initial architecture, one mid-design, one before you finalize.
Best for: founders working through sequential design decisions who want consistent expert input without a retainer commitment
Retainer Advisory
Need an ongoing Strategic Advisor, not just a deliverable? Retainer Advisory engagement can be tailored for your specific needs. What's included: async access via email or Telegram, periodic design memos and written feedback, and a dedicated monthly strategy call.
Engagements start at $1,800/month with a 3-month minimum commitment. Scope and structure are tailored to the protocol's stage and needs.
Best for: post-raise and post-TGE protocols navigating live design decisions who need a dedicated strategic advisor beyond what a session can provide.
Full Model Design
For protocols building a token economy from the ground up. GridEcon takes a phased approach. Scope is defined before delivery begins. The result is a model precisely calibrated to your protocol.
Pricing on request with cash and token compensation structures available.
Phase 1 — Discovery & Scoping
A structured deep-dive into your protocol and existing design thinking. Phase 1 produces a scoping memo that defines what the full model needs to address. This establishes a clear foundation before Phase 2 begins.
Phase 2 — Full Model Design
The complete tokenomics model built on the Phase 1 scope. Covers token architecture, incentive design, supply and demand dynamics, stakeholder allocation, vesting structures, and treasury design.
Best for: post-raise protocols building a token economy from scratch who need a complete, rigorously designed model.
Tokenomics Audit
For protocols with a developed token model that needs independent expert review. The audit stress-tests your existing design against real-world network mechanics, incentive alignment, and long-term sustainability.
Findings are delivered as a structured assessment with clear recommendations.
Best for: post-raise protocols preparing for TGE, or established protocols evaluating a significant model change. To qualify for an audit, the protocol must have a fully developed tokenomics model that tracks token performance based on identified inputs.
