This session introduces the essential building blocks of regenerative token design.

Whether your DAO is launching a simple utility token or architecting a complex multi-token ecosystem, this workshop will give you the clarity to design a token model that is purpose-aligned, sustainable, and interoperable with the emerging regenerative economy.

You’ll learn how tokens can:

• coordinate communities

• reward participation

• activate contribution

• create liquidity

• and anchor real-world value

— when they are designed with intention and integrity.

📚 What You’ll Explore

1️⃣ Why Tokens?

• What role tokens play in DAOs

3️⃣ Key Token Design Considerations

• Incentive alignment

• Treasury flows

• Liquidity & token swapping

• Avoiding harmful speculation

4️⃣ Case Studies & Examples

Drawing from SEEDS, Hypha, Starseed, and other living token ecosystems to illustrate what works (and what doesn’t).

🌟 Why This Workshop Matters

Tokenomics is the economic heart of your DAO.
This session ensures your token is not just a speculative asset — but a meaningful tool for coordination, impact, and regenerative value creation.
