References

📖

This is a list of references of the book Token Economy (Third Edition). This list can also be used as recommended further reading and is organized by chapter.

Please note, that when I started research on the first edition was published in 2017, few comprehensive books on crypto were available, and much of the learning depended on blog posts of early crypto thinkers and protocol developers. Some links from earlier editions became inactive over time and have been replaced, where possible, with archived versions from the Internet Archives. The bibliography has expanded significantly over the 8 years and three editions. Special thanks to Quentin Botha for his valuable assistance in organizing the references.
