This is an open access version of the book Token Economy (Third Edition), available in various formats on Amazon and many other online bookstores.

If you have been redirected from blockchainhub.net, it’s because the first edition built on the educational work that we started at BlockchainHub Berlin in 2015, with the aim to make Web3 accessible to a general audience. Blockchainhub.net was the first website to systematically compile and disseminate blockchain and Web3 knowledge to a general (non tech) audience, first with a series of blog posts, which were later compiled and contextualized in the Blockchain Handbook, that was downloaded over 100.000 times.

The book Token Economy built on the legacy of these past activities and went one step beyond: The focus was on tokens as the atomic unit of the Web3. Excerpts of the first and second edition where originally also published on blockchainhub.net.

Compared to previous editions, the third edition of Token Economy has expanded in depth and scope.
