Game theory research on Public Good Games finds new applications in blockchain technology.​ @0xPaella demonstrates how Impact Evaluators could revolutionize tokenomics:

  • Addresses common death spirals in crypto projects
  • Provides sustainable funding for public goods
  • Builds on established game theory principles

This development comes amid growing concerns about speculative tokenomics in Web3 gaming.​ Previous models often led to unsustainable farming and eventual project collapse.​ Impact Evaluators offer a potential solution by:

  • Rewarding genuine engagement over speculation
  • Creating sustainable economic models
  • Aligning incentives for long-term project health
