Overview

Fundamentals is an analytics dashboard and product offered by Just Cryptoeconomics. It provides structured, comparable analysis of cryptoeconomic systems and tokens. Underpinning the dashboard is our classification framework, which categorises each system according to the type of product or service it sells, how it operates, where economic value is created and captured, who governs its essential components, and what functional roles, if any, its native token performs.

This document is the public reference guide to that framework. It defines the labels, terms, and concepts used throughout the Fundamentals dashboard.

Units of Analysis

System: The economic system being analysed. In practice, it includes on-chain components and, where relevant, off-chain entities and infrastructure.

Token: A token is analysed only insofar as it has functional roles that require token ownership. A core principle of the Token Functionality Framework is that only those roles that require token ownership to engage and benefit from a system qualify as functionalities.
