Don't Call it a Comeback!

It's been a long and challenging past year both personally and professionally, leading to have to take a break from Token Engineering endeavors. For this, I apologize, The Token Lab was kicked off with the vision to help build up token engineering and incentive design principles that can be applied across blockchain applications such as DeFi, governance, gaming, and socialfi. With many family and professional issues sorted out, the time to get back on the saddle and work with great projects across the blockchain ecosystem begins today.

I received funding from Catalyst Proposal 11 and have completed only 1 of the 3 milestones originally planned. I actually have more work done on the 2 unfinished milestones, but will hopefully wrap them up in the coming weeks and submit them for approval. To be honest, it's actually been a pleasure to see how much the incentives and different designs of many longstanding protocols have evolved over the past year, such as Indigo's ability to regain the peg on iUSD, emissions controls with Liqwid, and the launch of RiskFi and subscores on Xerberus. Many positive things and projects maturing at the same time and a great time to dive back in after a hiatus.

In reality, I wasn't completely out of the space and connecting and helping some projects like Xerberus contributing and participating in some of the early design spaces around governance. We've written a formal paper about our findings and how working in a holocratic governance format is a way to implement controls, delegation of authority, and structuring the rules of the game for a DAO.

In all honesty, I would like apologize for my absence and hope to regain the trust of the community who has helped me have a funded Catalyst proposal. Day 1 starts today!
