Hire tokenomics developers who design token economics, then actually implement them in the contract.
Token economic model design, supply and emission schedules, staking and reward mechanics, governance token structures, paired with the smart-contract implementation of that model, by engineers who treat the economics and the code as one deliverable, not a whitepaper handed off to a separate dev team to interpret.
Modeling total supply, vesting, and emission curves against your actual incentive goals.
Reward rates and lock-up structures that don't quietly break under real participation numbers.
Voting weight, proposal thresholds, and delegation mechanics for a governance token that actually works.
The economic model turned into audited, gas-conscious smart contracts, not left as a spreadsheet.

Hiring for something adjacent?
Answered before you ask.
Everything from economic model design (supply, emission, incentives), through the smart-contract implementation of that model. One deliverable, not a whitepaper handed to a separate team to build.
Yes. And we'd recommend it. Simulating the model against adversarial and edge-case participation before committing to a contract catches problems that are far cheaper to fix on paper.
Yes. Voting weight, proposal thresholds, and delegation mechanics are a standard part of this role, not a separate specialty.
By simulating adversarial and edge-case scenarios, not just the intended happy path. Most tokenomics failures come from a participant behavior nobody modeled for.
Every way out of this hire is already written down.
Not a fit? Replace anyone in the first two weeks. No questions asked, no replacement fee. We re-match from the same vetted pool.
You pay only for engineers who actually start. Seeing candidates costs nothing.
Dedicated and managed engagements run on a monthly rolling contract. Cancel with notice.
You see the number before you commit. Nothing is added on top of it later.
Bring us the incentive model. Three matched engineers in 48 hours.
Whiteboard sketch or a half-written whitepaper. We'll model it, stress-test it, and implement it as an audited contract.
We reply within an hour during our working day in India and the UAE.
