It will guide the new generation of protocols with a staking and burning token model.\n\nImprovements on current approaches:\nThe idea of optimizing burning and staking using dynamic modeling tools has seen growing exploration recently (e.g. @urosnoetic's post about BME in the previous round of TE grants, and multiple papers from the economics/finance literature in 2022/2023). My novelty is to develop a fully testable, calibratable model that also addresses uncertainty and lack of information.\n\nCurrent state:\nI have formalize the baseline model (Biais et al, 2020) in the context of tokenomics, and I'm currently in the phase of building the full model. A pitch deck can be found under the \"presentations\" folder of the github repo. The slides summarizes the current state of the research project, include a detailed introduction for the project, literature review, some technical components, and next steps.\n\nExpected outcome:\nThe expected result is a complete master's thesis which will go under the review of a graduate research committee at University of Chicago Kenneth C. Griffin Department of Economics. I will open source the paper and any relevant code on Github.", "bannerImgData": {}, "projectTwitter": "MingXDynasty"}
