Blockchain Token Economics: A Mean-Field-Type Game Perspective. Barreiro-Gomez, J. & Tembine, H. IEEE Access, 7:64603–64613, 2019.
Paper doi abstract bibtex This paper studies blockchain cryptographic tokens by means of mean-field-type game theory. It introduces variance-aware utility function per decision-maker to capture the risk of cryptographic tokens associated with the uncertainties of technology adoption, network security, regulatory legislation and market volatility. We establish a relationship between the network characteristics, token price, number of token holders and token supply. Both in-chain and cross-chain diversification among tokens are examined by using a mean-variance approach. The results suggest that the number of tokens in circulation need to be adjusted in order to capture risk-awareness and self-regulatory behavior in blockchain token economics. Sharpe and Modigliani ratios for cryptographic tokens are revisited.
