A broader product and tokenomics perspective on where Web3 business models are heading: which market narratives have real economic foundations, where sustainable demand and revenue can come from, and how the industry is moving beyond farming and incentive-driven growth.

About the event

What we covered

Incentives end. Emission doesn't.

We broke down which Web3 business models actually stand a chance in the next cycle, around three directions:

The shift from speculative tokens to products with real revenue.
The convergence of crypto and the real economy: lending, RWA, payments, infrastructure.
The move from endless incentives to more sustainable models of user acquisition and retention.

Event in brief

Online · X Space · Friday, 18 September 2026, 14:00-15:00 UTC. Hosted by 8lends, with 8Blocks, Maclear and Dash. The Space is linked in the date block above.

These are the questions we work on outside the venues too: we design token models from scratch and audit live ones on economics, unlocks and demand. Get in touch if that's your problem to solve.
