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.
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.

Token Product Linkage (TPL) is the core of our rating. High linkage — the token wins as the product wins. Low linkage — it gets left behind while the business grows. That's where most tokens quietly break after TGE.
Does revenue actually reach the token?
Required in the core loop, or optional?
Activity up → token demand up.
Burns & locks that scale with usage.
Verifiable flows, not "trust me".
How hard to switch the linkage off?
That is the core of the linkage. Here is how it becomes a rating.
Token Product Linkage shows whether product growth creates real economic value for the token. If users, revenue, volume, or activity grow — does the token also gain demand, utility, fees, buybacks, burns, or stronger value capture? A strong token is not only traded — it is connected to the system that creates value.
We review a token economy across a fixed set of blocks — Token Product Linkage at the core, plus tokenomics sustainability, fundamentals, governance and control, security, and the market layer — each scored against the same rubric, then combined into one score with a color band and a short read on the key risks. We publish what we measure and why, and show it in our public audits.
Review every critical component of your token economy with this complete tokenomics checklist, from supply and incentives to governance and market readiness. Don’t launch a TGE, raise capital, or rework tokenomics until thoroughly covering your bases.
A tokenomics audit is essential to give token projects a chance to succeed. This covers interaction between core project components and stakeholders. Such audits provide useful recommendations, scoring, and reports that help rectify vulnerabilities and seize opportunities.
Virtuals has done particularly well at enabling users to generate income via its AI bots. Ironically, the protocol’s success and VIRTUAL token’s price have become decoupled, and interest in holding has been replaced by incentives, as the potential for supply flooding looms.
We define the token's role and connect it directly to revenue and operations.
