Science of token models or How to create valuable token?
summary
Content analysis of 200 top tokens from CoinMarketCap compares white papers and market caps, finding 30% generic foundational tech, 26% crypto-industry (exchanges, wallets) and only ~10% finance-specific apps. Token types skew utility-heavy: 59% utility tokens versus 5% securities. Average token market value concentrates on foundational tech; utility and payment tokens outperform security-type in that sample. Typical token economics show wide variance: public sale allocations average ~50% (range 15–87%) and team grants often exceed 50%, with vesting, burn and buyback rules strongly affecting supply dynamics.
