Research Grant: Tokenomics

[ipatka]

Bloom will be accepting proposals for a grant of 5 ETH, with an opportunity for ongoing funding upon completion, for research relating to the economic behavior of ERC20 and other native blockchain tokens. Of interest are the economics interactions involving different types of tokens, and how their supply, demand and price influence the behavior of smart contracts and off-chain mechanisms for different crypto projects, protocols and applications, and how various distribution models, such as token sales and airdrops, impact them. Examples of projects that may be included in an overview include MakerDAO, Chainlink, Uniswap, Yearn, and the Graph. Grantees will be expected to produce a scientific research paper detailing their findings, as well as a summary to be published on the Bloom blog.
