Шаг 1

Прежде, чем что-то спросить у ИИ - необходимо задать ему контекст. Чем более подробная и точная информация будет на входе, тем более экспертный ответ выдаст ChatGPT.

Копируем и вставляем в ChatGPT следующий текст (все, что выделено курсивом):

I need some help analysing cryptocurrency tokenomics. First, I am going to explain what tokenomics is, what it does, and give you examples. What I’ll be teaching you today: • What is Tokenomics? • Evaluating through Supply, Demand, and Incentives • Tokenomics examples • Free Tokenomics Checklist What is Tokenomics? Tokenomics studies the factors that drive the demand for tokens. It includes: • math • supply vs. demand • incentives • value accrual • human behavior & game theory Tokenomics = Tokens + Econonmics Some of my worst investments were because I didn't understand Tokenomics. • The tokens were inflationary without enough utility. • Concentration of tokens by VCs & whales led to retail getting dumped on. Studying Tokenomics will help improve your crypto investments. The easiest lens to start with Tokenomics is understanding Supply and Demand. There are 10k @BoredApeYC out there with a floor price of 111 ETH. What would happen if the supply doubled and there are now 20k apes? The price would crash due to more supply. Scarcity is good. The Dollar The U.S. Government printed 40% of the US Money Supply in 2020. • Money flooded the market. • The supply of housing remained roughly the same. (They couldn't build during COVID). That's why Here's why home prices are out of control in the U.S. Supply Side of Tokenomics Here's what you should watch out for: • How many tokens are in existence? • How many tokens will there be in total? • Who has the supply? WHEN can they sell? • How will the supply change over time? • What are their policies for changing? How newcomers get Wrecked: They see meme coins at $.000000002 and think they'll be rich once it hits a Dollar. Understanding the market cap would show that it's impossible. Hitting $1 would mean it's bigger than the world's entire money supply. Supply Metrics You Should Know: • Supply: How many tokens exist NOW • Max supply: The most that can exist • Market Cap: Current Price * circulating supply • Fully Diluted MC: Price * max supply. Why are the Above Metrics Important? The metrics help you understand the future supply and scarcity. For example, I wouldn't feel great if the circulating supply was only at 40%. That means the supply will increase by 60% More coins created will put pressure on the price. Sound Money - Bitcoin There will only be 21m Bitcoin in existence, and no one can create more Bitcoin. • Bitcoin's supply is capped • Demand is increasing • The price should increase This is why people compare Bitcoin to gold often. Bitcoin Halvings Besides token supply, make sure you consider the emissions rate. At what SPEED are new tokens printed? Although miners created new Bitcoin, the emissions have slowed down. At each halving event, the reward emissions for Bitcoin gets cut in half. Inflationary Token - Dogecoin The supply of Dogecoin is increasing each year, and there's no CAP on the supply. This isn't good for Tokenomics because it's the opposite of Scarcity. (Note: The price of Dogecoin still went up last year despite bad tokenomics) Deflationary Token Some coins can become deflationary when the supply DECREASES over time. The protocol can buy back tokens, and burn them. A burned coin = is lost forever. Decreasing supply should increase the value of the token (in theory) Burberry Burns its Bags Burberry creates luxury handbags, and exclusivity is part of its appeal. Some of their handbags don't sell - rather than sell them at a discount, they burn their bags. This keeps the bags "exclusive" A real-life example of the "burning" mechanism. Can Ethereum Becoming Ultrasound? •The Merge to Proof of Stake lowers the inflation supply of ETH •EIP-1559 takes a bit of the transaction fees and burns it. These combined (and higher demand) means Ethereum could become deflationary.
Allocation & Distribution How are the initial tokens distributed? There are roughly 2 ways: Pre Mined: 1. The team distributes tokens to itself. 2. Distribution to insiders such as the team and venture capitalists Fair Launch: 100% fair. Everyone has equal access. Why Does This Matter? VCs and Insiders could dump their tokens and cause a price crash. Vesting means when they're allowed to sell the tokens. You want to make sure that the early backers are INCENTIVIZED with the protocol long-term. VCs Aren't Evil By the way, I'm not trying to label insiders as bad. They can help create VALUE for the founding team through advice, distribution, and connections. Not all VCs are equal. Some want to create value for their investments, others want a quick payday. The Teams Can Also Sell Their Tokens 1. Those huge incentive funds? It comes from selling tokens. 2. They sell to raise capital. People forget that some salaries and expenses get paid in fiat. Selling from the team leads to downward pressure on prices. The Other Half of the Equation: DEMAND Demand: The factors that drive the desire for people to buy, and the price they're willing to pay. Despite the inflation, the U.S. $ is in high demand because of its UTILITY. The world's running on USD (for now) What Drives the Demand for Tokens? I'd put demand into (3) broad categories. • Utility • Value Accrual • The Memes and Narratives Utility - Gas Fees This is payment to use the network. • Want to buy an NFT on @opensea? You'll need ETH to pay for the gas fees. • Want access to the sick degen farms on @fantomfoundation? You need FTM. The more popular the network / DAPP, the higher the demand. Utility - Fun GameFi has insane potential once the games ACTUALLY become fun. Look at how much money GTA and Fortnite are printing. I'm excited for Triple-A games like @illuvium. That's how we onboard more normies. p.s. Are any crypto MOBAs coming? Utility - Adoption Crypto is slowly adding in more real-world usage thus driving demand. • Bitcoin exploded when TSLA added it to its balance sheet to hedge against inflation. • Dogecoin spiked when AMC announced they'd accept it. Value Accrual The protocol's kicking ass. The protocol's printing money. But investors are not getting a piece of the action. We saw this happen with most DeFi 1.0 giants such as Uniswap and Compound. People want value, not just governance tokens. Value Accrual - xStaking Last year we saw the rise of xTokens. Staking the token will earn you a % of the platform revenue fee. • xSushi from Sushi swap • fBeets from Beethoven • sSpell from MIM spell This added more value to the Tokens. Value Accrual - Governance DeFi 1.0 saw a lot of protocols print tokens that had no utility other than governance. People would farm the APRs and then sell the tokens. This is how SushiSwap took so many users away from Uniswap when they first launched. Stopping the Mercenaries People can be mercenaries in DeFi. The Farm APRs drop over time, and you might rotate to a farm with more percentage. The protocol still needs liquidity. So how do they incentivize people to HOLD their tokens, instead of chasing APR's? Incentivizing Long Term Holding We saw a lot of new innovations last year in how protocols motivate long-term holding. Having these in place lowers the selling pressure of the token. Let's look at some of them: The Main Mechanism These Days is Locking How do you stop selling pressure? You ask people to lock their tokens up (sometimes for years) The key is figuring out the INCENTIVES for people to do that. (1) there are risks in locking up (2) the opportunity costs of liquidity Holding - veTokens (Curve) Curve had a big innovation when it introduced veTokens. Ve = Vote Escrow. • Locking up your tokens = Voting power. • The LONGER you lock it up, the MORE Voting power. (up to 4 years) So why care about the voting power? Well, Stablecoins are the backbone of DeFi. And Protocols are in a war to get more liquidity / adoption for their stablecoins. Each week, Curve has a vote on which pools get the most rewards. And some of these protocols will bribe you to vote for them! Holding - Farm Boosting We're seeing AMM's adopt this model of farm boosting. Locking up tokens gives you the right to vote for the pools. Protocols are in a war now to acquire governance power to benefit themselves. Holding - Unstake You Lose it Platypus Finance introduced one of the most interesting mechanisms for Ve. • Staking $PTP gets you $vePTP. This gives you a higher APR on your stablecoin yields. • Unstaking $vePTP? You lose ALL your vePTP. Not easy to sell then. Holding - Rebasing $OHM introduced the concept of rebasing, and other protocols desecrated the concept. Rebasing is a form of gamification. It LOOKS like you're getting 50k% APR. In reality, it's paid out through the tokens. Your % of the market cap remains the same. Holding - Rewards / Raffles Some tokens allows staking which is revenue share. They also have: • Staking xTOKEN / xTOKEN enters you into lotteries for airdrops. This includes valuable items. • The more you stake, the more raffle tickets you earn. Holding - Unlock / Lock Rates Memes and Narratives Human desire is strange. I watched a YouTube video of someone paying $2k for a golden steak from Salt Bae. Coins CAN pump despite horrible tokenomics. Sometimes the meme, narratives, and marketing can be THAT strong. The Curious Case of Dogecoin Dogecoin had an insane rise last year. The richest man in the world, Elon, had a strange obsession with Dogecoin. And it peaked with his appearance on Saturday Night Live. People bought hoping Elon would keep pumping Dogecoin up. People Buy What They Think Will Make Them Money Take your nerd hat off, and put your human hat on. There are some protocols with GREAT tokenomics, but their prices are garbage. It could be because of the Narratives - People are chasing the next bright shiny object. Bad Tokenomics - PancakeSwap PancakeSwap hit its peak a year ago and has been on a downward trend. 1. It’s an inflationary token. (supply) 2. There’s no utility for the token.(demand) Pancake “prints” Cake and the users immediately sell it. Tokenomics Overhaul I'm fascinated when protocols overhaul their Tokenomics. Trader Joe had a basic tokenomics structure when it first launched. They overhauled their model in Quarter 1. Before it was stake Joe, and you get a % of the protocol's revenue. Here's what's new: Stake Joe and now... • rJOE - Get access to launch pads • sJOE - earn a % of platform revenue paid in stablecoins • veJOE - farm boosts + governance. (unstake, you lose it just like PTP) They're increasing demand by varying incentives. Now that you have a full understanding of cryptocurrency tokenomics with examples, I want you to act like a professional cryptocurrency tokenomics analyser and to provide me with your analysis on the following checklist: Tokenomics Checklist: Supply: What is the supply and max supply? What is the marketcap and fully diluted marketcap? How were the tokens initially allocated? Fair launch or pre mine? How are the tokens distributed now among team, insiders, whales, and retail? What's the vesting / unlocking schedule? What is the inflation and emission? Demand: What is the use case for the token? How does the token accural value? Vibe check: How does the community feel? Long Term Incentives: How does the protocol reward long term holders? How does the protocol decrease sell pressure? You can take take an understanding from some the examples above and from your data. Are you ready to become a tokenomics analyst? If so, respond with ‘YES’ and nothing else.

В качестве примера возьмем Curve Finance. Добавим в ChatGPT ответы на вопросы из чек-листа:

Acting as a cryptocurrency tokenomics analyst with the above information in mind, please analyse the following tokenomics from the following checklist: Max supply: 3,303,030,299 Total supply: 1,955,720,770 Circulating supply: 818,815,872 Market cap: $701,362,570 Fully diluted market cap: $2,828,903,652 Initial allocation: The initial supply was distributed to community liquidity providers, shareholders (team and investors), employees, and the community reserve. The initial distribution of CRV allowed for a community fund of 5% of the total CRV supply to be used in cases of emergencies or awarded to community-led initiatives or grants. Community LP: 1,116,589,599 CRV Team and Investors: 909,090,909 CRV Early Users: 151,515,152 CRV Community Reserve: 151,515,152 CRV TokenUnlocks: Employees: 90,909,091 CRV Vesting/unlocking schedule: Community LP: 57%, 1,116,589,599.11, 6 years linearly decreasing inflation starting from TGE. Team and Investors: 30%, 909,090,909, 4 years linearly vesting starting from TGE Employees: 3%, 90,909,091, 2 years linearly vesting starting from TGE Early Users: 5%, 151,515,151.52, 1 year linearly vesting starting from TGE Community Reserve: 5%, 151,515,151.51, Fully unlocked at TGE Inflation: 28.01% Emissions from 13.08.23: 447,688 CRV a day. Use case: The flywheel relies on the assumption that favorable market conditions for LPs will attract more liquidity, which will lower the slippage and attract more volume, thus generating more revenue for veCRV holders. Ideally, the action of accumulating veCRV would cause the CRV price to increase and lead to a higher total. Slippage is dependent on trading volume but is not the only factor affecting the number of trades that take place in a pool. The price of CRV is dependent on public perception and trading volume has no primary effect other than distributing revenue from fees to users who lock CRV. More liquidity leads to lesser slippage, which attracts more traders and exchange aggregators, in turn generating more fees. Community: Positive and optimistic community who enjoy the developments being made.

Given the data provided, here are some points for consideration:

1. Token Supply: The max supply of the token is 3,303,030,299 CRV, but the current total supply is 1,955,720,770 CRV, with only 818,815,872 CRV in circulation. This means that a large proportion of the tokens (~45% of the max supply) has yet to enter the market.
2. Market Capitalisation: The project has a considerable market cap of $701,362,570, but its fully diluted market cap, which takes into account the max supply, is considerably higher at $2,828,903,652. If all the tokens were in circulation, it would require a substantial increase in demand to maintain the current price level.
3. Initial Allocation & Vesting: The project has provided a clear vesting schedule for the various categories of token holders, which shows a commitment to a long-term vision. Most notably, the largest proportion of tokens (Community LP) are locked for 6 years. This implies a sustained emission of tokens over time, which might exert some downward pressure on the token price if the demand doesn't increase correspondingly.
4. Inflation: The 28.01% inflation rate indicates a high rate of token issuance, which could dilute the value of the tokens over time if there isn't sufficient demand.
5. Use Case & Community: The tokenomics are designed to incentivize liquidity provision and attract more users. The positive and engaged community is an asset, as they can help in marketing the project and encouraging more users to join. However, the project's success also relies heavily on maintaining favourable market conditions for LPs, as their departure could negatively impact the ecosystem.

In conclusion, while the project has significant promise and a robust community, it will be crucial to attract and maintain strong demand for the token, given the high inflation rate and significant amount of tokens yet to enter circulation. The project's long term success also depend on its ability to maintain favourable conditions for liquidity providers.

Если сложности с английским языком - переводим на русский прямо в ChatGPT путем фразы "Переведи ответ на русский язык":

Учитывая предоставленные данные, рассмотрим некоторые моменты:

  1. Поставка токенов: Максимальная поставка токена составляет 3 303 030 299 CRV, но текущая общая поставка составляет 1 955 720 770 CRV, а в обращении находится только 818 815 872 CRV. Это означает, что значительная часть токенов (~45% от максимальной поставки) еще не поступила на рынок.
  2. Рыночная капитализация: Проект имеет значительную рыночную капитализацию в размере 701 362 570 долларов, но его полностью разводненная рыночная капитализация, которая учитывает максимальную поставку, значительно выше и составляет 2 828 903 652 доллара. Если все токены находились бы в обращении, потребовалось бы существенное увеличение спроса, чтобы поддержать текущий уровень цен.
  3. Начальное распределение и вестинг: Проект предоставил четкий график вестинга для различных категорий держателей токенов, что свидетельствует о долгосрочной стратегии. Особенно стоит отметить, что наибольшая часть токенов (Community LP) заблокирована на 6 лет. Это подразумевает постоянную эмиссию токенов с течением времени, что может оказывать некоторое давление на цену токена, если спрос не будет соответствующим образом расти.
  4. Инфляция: 28,01% инфляции указывает на высокую скорость выпуска токенов, что может размывать стоимость токенов со временем, если спрос недостаточен.
  5. Применение и сообщество: Токеномика разработана для стимулирования предоставления ликвидности и привлечения большего числа пользователей. Положительное и активное сообщество является активом, так как они могут помочь в маркетинге проекта и привлечении новых пользователей. Однако успех проекта также в значительной степени зависит от поддержания благоприятных условий на рынке для поставщиков ликвидности, так как их уход может негативно повлиять на экосистему.

В заключение, хотя проект обладает значительным потенциалом и сильным сообществом, будет важно привлечь и поддерживать сильный спрос на токен, учитывая высокую инфляцию и значительное количество токенов, которые еще не вошли в обращение. Долгосрочный успех проекта также зависит от его способности поддерживать благоприятные условия для поставщиков ликвидности.


Шаг 3

При необходимости задайте дополнительные вопросы. Например:
"What do you think about this as an investment?" (Что вы думаете об этом как об инвестиции?)

Вводим и получаем результат:

Получаем следующий ответ:

As an AI language model, I don't give financial or investment advice, but I can suggest some factors to consider based on the tokenomics and information provided:

1. Demand and Adoption: Will there be enough demand for the tokens, especially considering the high inflation rate and vesting schedules? A crucial factor to consider is whether the token's use cases can drive its adoption and increase demand over time.
2. Community: A strong and engaged community can be a significant asset for a project, driving innovation, adoption and positive world-of-mouth.
3. Market Conditions: The project's success relies on maintaining favourable conditions for liquidity providers. Are these conditions likely to remain favourable in the future?
4. Price: Given the high inflation rate and large proportion of tokens yet to be released, there may be downward pressure on the token price. How likely is it that demand will increase sufficiently to maintain or increase the current price?
5. Risk Tolerance: As with any investment, consider your risk tolerance. Cryptocurrency investments can be volatile and can result in loss of capital.

It's essential to do your own research, consider seeking advice from a financial advisor, and fully understand the risk associated with any investment.

При необходимости - переводим на русский язык:

Как модель искусственного интеллекта, я не даю финансовых или инвестиционных советов, но могу предложить несколько факторов для рассмотрения на основе токеномики и предоставленной информации:

  1. Спрос и принятие: Будет ли достаточный спрос на токены, особенно учитывая высокую инфляцию и графики вестинга? Важным фактором является то, могут ли использования токена стимулировать его принятие и увеличивать спрос со временем.
  2. Сообщество: Сильное и активное сообщество может быть значительным активом для проекта, стимулируя инновации, принятие и положительное мнение пользователей.
  3. Рыночные условия: Успех проекта зависит от поддержания благоприятных условий для поставщиков ликвидности. Вероятно ли, что эти условия останутся благоприятными в будущем?
  4. Цена: Учитывая высокую инфляцию и значительную долю токенов, которые еще не выпущены, может оказываться давление на цену токена. Насколько вероятно, что спрос будет увеличиваться достаточно, чтобы поддерживать или увеличивать текущую цену?
  5. Уровень риска: Как и при любых инвестициях, учитывайте свою готовность к риску. Инвестиции в криптовалюту могут быть волатильными и могут привести к потере капитала.

Важно проводить собственное исследование, рассмотреть возможность обратиться за советом к финансовому консультанту и полностью понимать риски, связанные с любой инвестицией.
