2.  Predict how cryptoeconomics could possibly influence the different system levels in the future educational ecosystem.

(Minimum 500 words.)

2. Introduction to cryptoeconomics by Vitalik Buterin
3. Making-sense-cryptoeconomics

Which new insights did you gain from each source?

2.3

Choose and support the categorisation of 3 tokens by analysing their role / functions or other relevant properties

1 . Classify 3 tokens of your own choosing via one of the models or frameworks as discussed in class. You can also use an alternative framework if you found a better one (let us know as well 😊!). Tip: you can find tokens at www.coinmarketcap.com, connect with their website for more information and whitepapers etc (Minimum 350 words per project).
‍
‍

2. !!OPTIONAL!! If you could buy one cryptocurrency, which one would that be and for what reasons would you buy it?

3. !!OPTIONAL!! Explain how centralised coin rankings, developers and exchanges might collude with each other at cost of retail investors

2.4

!!IMPORTANT!! Regarding the overall level 3 assignment, your blockchain based business plan: design a simple token mechanism to incentivize individual actors that also benefits the ecosystem and apply them in your blockchain business plan.

1. !!OPTIONAL!! Elaborate on how mechanism design is a reverse game theory concept. (Minimum 50 words.)
‍

2. Explain the central task of token design and why this is important for not only     blockchain technology but possibly for future societies as well. (Minimum 100 words.)
‍

3.  Evaluate the goal effectiveness of design systems of three tokens of your own chosing. Might be wise to pick the tokens from previous 3.2.3. framework     assignment. Does the token design steer towards their goal / use-case? (Minimum 200 words in total.)
‍

4. “The transition will be bumpy and shocking to many. It may even be nasty, as dying clans struggle to hold-on to the past at all costs. But eventually, they will pass into the pages of history like the Trilobites. And when it’s all over, nobody will mourn the loss of the old, broken, decaying, power hungry and violent networks of kings, queens, mobs, and corporations”. What is your opinion? “Motivate the answer” (Minimum 250 words)

‍

3.  Describe the different elements of blockchain governance. Which one do you deem most important and why? (Minimum of 100 words.)
‍

3.2

1.  !!VIDEO!!

2.  !!OPTIONAL!! Stroll the worldwide web and figure out how to create your very own basic smartcontract. You are allowed to use standardized formats, like ERC-templates, but do show us the code and highlight your own contribution (input variables).
‍

3.  !!OPTIONAL!! Describe in your own words how you can monetize your very own created smart contracts.Tip: combine this assignment with your overall blockchain business case.
‍

4.  !!OPTIONAL!! You created a standardized contract, now try to figure out how to deploy it on testnet. Try it out, don’t be scared 😉 Even if you don’t succeed, you still gain new insights & nothing to lose but a bit of time. If “I can’t do this” pops up in your mind  two routes: 1.Ignore it and never learn. 2. Embark on your new mission and see where it will bring you (open up for failure!). Yoda: “the greatest teacher, failure is”.Output: either a deployed contract of 500 word report on your gained new insights.
