The Land Is Real. The Holder Owns None of It
Our ISD audit: the token sits on $115.9m of Panamanian land, but holders have no right to it, no guaranteed payouts and no exit. 60 cents of every dollar never reach the project. Score 30 out of 100, CCC.

We help businesses turn tokens from one-time fundraising tools into working economic instruments. Tokens are embedded into products and operations, so usage and demand drive lasting value, not speculation.

How we design and fix broken economics
All services [About]
A token should generate value for the project over its entire lifetime. And that only happens when you clearly understand why it exists and who needs it.

6 weeksaverage time to build a working tokenomics model
$180M+raised by client projects before TGE
Since 2017we've been developing tokenomics for projects across different market segments
100% of projectson our models have tokens built into the product, not existing just for trading
[Why 8Blocks]
When a business grows, the token doesn't always follow. So we design economies where it has to.
01
Business-linked economics
Token value is structurally tied to usage, not market sentiment. When the business grows, demand has no choice but to follow.
02
Usage-driven demand
Tokens are required to access products, rights, or advantages. People hold them because they're needed, not because they're promised.
03
Stress-tested circulation
Models are tested against real behavior: selling pressure, churn, low liquidity, growth spikes. Because markets never follow best-case scenarios.
04
Controlled growth mechanics
Supply, incentives, and circulation scale with operations, without handing control to speculation or market cycles.

Hacken Sold 13 Equity Slots for Tokens. The Cap Table Doesn't Show Them
8Blocks audited HES, Hacken's tokenized equity: 37/100, grade CCC. The business is profitable, but the share register shows no token holders.
KNTQ Has More Supply Waiting Than Trading
Kinetiq trades at a $125,7m market cap against a $398,0m FDV with 31,6% of supply circulating — a 3,2x FDV/mcap ratio, the 85th percentile for liquid staking. Holder revenue of $0,8m a year covers 0,3% of the supply still to come; buyers, not revenue, will absorb the unlocks.

If the token has no purpose, the project has no future
We define the token's role and connect it directly to revenue and operations.
