95% of tokens trade below their TGE price within 3 months.
8Blocks Internal Research, 2024
An interactive workshop with an individual scenario. Leave with concrete tokenomics concepts — not theory, but a foundation for real design.
"Once we launch the token, investors will come on their own."
The round is closed, the listing is agreed. But the question — why would anyone hold the token for more than two weeks — has no answer. Within a month of TGE, the dump begins. Investors lose confidence. The team blames the market.
"We'll integrate the token into the product later."
The architecture is ready, users are there. Then it turns out the token doesn't fit into the product logic without rewriting half the mechanics. Two months of refactoring, a delayed TGE, and competitors move ahead.
Hype, volume, price rise. The team thinks: "everything is working."
No real demand-side. Early investors take profits. Price starts to fall.
Team is "working on utility." Community is waiting. Price at −70% from ATH.
Retokenomics. A new round of consultants, lost time, and reputational damage.
By our data, 95% of teams that skip this step return to it within 2–4 months after TGE — with lost time and broken community trust.
A structured session with your project team: in 1–3 hours you surface the key assumptions in your token design and shape 2–3 working concepts to build on.
Not on building the full model end-to-end, but on the strategic foundation: why the token matters to the product, who creates demand, and how the token fits into product logic.
Teams planning a TGE in the next 3–6 months, and projects that have already seen a post-launch token drawdown and need a path to redesign the model.
In our experience, 95% of teams that skip this step come back to it within 2–4 months after TGE — when the cost of mistakes is higher: time is gone and community trust is damaged.
Rewatch and share with your team and investors at any time.
What works for your model, what doesn't, and exactly why.
Described concepts ready to serve as the foundation for full design.

If you continue with full tokenomics design at 8Blocks, the workshop fee is deducted from the project cost. This is not an expense — it's a deposit.
Learn about full tokenomics designYou tell us about the product, the team, and your plans. We decide if the workshop is right for you — and if so, we schedule a date and send the invoice.
We study your product, market, and competitors. We build a custom scenario for your case — no templates.
Your team + our experts. We work through the scenario, surface assumptions, and form concepts. Afterwards: recording, insights, tokenomics concepts.

"After the workshop we rethought the entire staking mechanic — it turned out we were building incentives for speculators, not real product users. It saved us two months of development and changed our pitch for the next round."
