Gaming Token Models

Game tokens power economies — often too powerfully. Dual-token models separate governance from in-game currency. Poor design creates hyperinflation and bot farms; good design aligns players, developers, and long-term health.

Governance tokens often carry speculative premium; in-game currencies need high velocity and predictable supply. NFT sinks — burn tokens to craft, upgrade, or enter modes — tie token demand to gameplay loops.

Sustainable games earn from cosmetics, battle passes, and ads — not only token sales. Web3 adds secondary market fees when volume exists, but retention and fun remain the foundation every token model sits on.
