GridEcon is a tokenomics advisory practice built for DePIN protocols and Web3 founders. We bring rigorous economic analysis, grounded in cross-sector experience across traditional finance, insurance, industrials, and Web3, to token design at every stage of a protocol's lifecycle.
Start with a free allocation map, go deeper when ready
Focused expert input on a specific design question, on demand.
Complete tokenomics architecture built in phases, from scoping to delivery.
Independent expert review of a fully developed token model.
Which Service Is Right For You?
Free Allocation Map vs. Supply Ledger
The distinction here is depth, not audience. The Free Allocation Map is a clean allocation, vesting, and circulating supply model, the same foundational layer used across GridEcon's client work, built as a standalone starting point. Supply Ledger includes everything in the Allocation Map, plus monthly inflation tracking, a revenue-to-valuation model, price sensitivity across Bear/Base/Bull scenarios, and buyback-and-burn simulation, built for the pre-raise stage when you need to show investors the mechanics behind your token, not just the allocation chart.
In short: start free with the Allocation Map, go deeper with Supply Ledger when you're raising.
Full Model Design vs. Tokenomics Audit
The core distinction is whether your protocol has a token model yet. Full Model Design builds one from the ground up through a phased engagement (Discovery & Scoping, then Full Model Design), producing a complete tokenomics architecture: token architecture, incentive design, supply and demand dynamics, stakeholder allocation, vesting, and treasury design, calibrated specifically to your protocol. A Tokenomics Audit reviews a model you already have. It's an independent expert review that stress-tests an existing design against real-world network mechanics, incentive alignment, and long-term sustainability, delivered as a structured assessment with clear recommendations. To qualify for an audit, your protocol needs a fully developed tokenomics model already in place.
In short: build with Full Model Design, validate with a Tokenomics Audit.
Advisory Session vs. Full Model Design:
The key difference is scope. Sessions handle a single question, in real time. Full Model Design is the full relationship, from initial architecture through the ongoing advisory that keeps it accurate as your protocol evolves.
In short: drop in with an Advisory Session, stay close with Full Model Design Advisory.
Most token models are built to tell a story to investors, few are tested against whether the price can survive its own issuance schedule. This shows you before the market does.
The full picture of whether your token's price can survive its own issuance schedule. Supply Ledger models monthly inflation, a revenue-driven valuation engine across Bear/Base/Bull growth scenarios, and buyback-and-burn dynamics . Built for the pre-raise stage, when you need to show investors the mechanics behind your token, not just the allocation chart.
What's included:
Everything in The Allocation Map, plus:
Monthly supply inflation tracking
Revenue-to-valuation model (your projected revenue × a multiple, fully adjustable)
Price sensitivity analysis across three user-adjustable growth scenarios
Buyback-and-burn simulation, scenario-specific
Implied price vs. your planned TGE price, month by month across a 36-month horizon
Best for: founders raising now who need to illustrate their token's supply and price dynamics to investors — this is not a substitute for a calibrated, protocol-specific engagement, but the right tool for this specific moment in a protocol's life.
Supply Ledger purchasers receive 10% off their first Advisory Session, 10% off the first payment of a Retainer Agreement, or a cash credit toward a larger advisory engagement.
Format: Excel/Google Sheets compatible, fully formula-driven — change any assumption and the full model updates automatically.
Advisory Sessions
A single unexamined decision, an emissions curve, a vesting cliff, or a reward mechanism can become a structural flaw that's expensive to unwind post-launch. Bring the decision before it's locked in.
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.
Full Model Design
Token economies built as an afterthought to fundraising rarely hold up once the protocol has to sustain itself. We build your core economic architecture.
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.
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.
Phase 3 - Ongoing Advisory
Keeps the model accurate as conditions and assumptions change before TGE and after.
Protocols that need more than a single answer, whether that's building the model from scratch or staying ahead of live design decisions after raise or TGE.
Tokenomics Audit
Models that looked sound at the whiteboard stage often reveal misaligned incentives, unsustainable emissions, or demand assumptions that don't hold once real network conditions apply pressure. This finds it before your community or your investors do.
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.
