Token Engineering Commons
Sustainable & Ethical Design for Token Ecosystems
- An emerging engineering discipline focused on holistic systems design and the theory, practice and tools used to design and verify tokenized ecosystems i.e. cyptoeconomic systems and their simulation using tools like cadCAD.
- A discipline of responsibility; adhering to the highest principles of ethical conduct (from ethical engineering)
- A community pushing forward the field of token engineering in theory and practice. (See more Modeling Crypto Protocols as Complex Systems, TE Process)

Mission
Our goal is to become a Schelling Point for the token engineering community.
Our economic layer will fund projects that discover, develop and proliferate the best practices for engineering safe tokenized economies, while aligning our collective success with the individual benefit of token holders.
Our social layer is even more important, as it will unite the token engineering field around the ethical principles, standards, tools and methodologies that emerge as this nascent field advances.
Values
Our Commons operates from a prosocial, human-centered perspective and prioritizes the advancement of token engineering over short-term profits.
Integrity, curiosity, constructive inquiry, presence and gratitude are foundational for maintaining mutual respect within our growing community. We encourage our members to be radically open source, non-hierarchical, transparent in their intentions and accountable for their actions.
From DeFi to TeFi
A shift from building pieces and parts, toward using established engineering practices for the next generation of decentralized economies and infrastructure.

Community
Token Engineering is truly a transdisciplinary field, reflected by the amazing humans who are drawn to the Token Engineering Commons. We are engineers, scientists, researchers, educators, ambassadors, philosophers, AR/VR game designers, digital nomads, activists, artists, edgewalkers and pioneers
