Here's a concise breakdown of 6 common token model failure modes in plain English: Mercenary Liquidity: Investors pump liquidity just to farm rewards, then dump and leave, crashing the price when they exit. Reflexive Emissions: Tokens are printed based on usage, creating a boom cycle that collapses when usage (and thus emissions) suddenly drop. Bad Sink Design: The project doesn't effectively remove tokens from circulation (like weak burns or fees), leading to constant oversupply and inflation.
so cool

Bad Sink Design: The project doesn't effectively remove tokens from circulation (like weak burns or fees), leading to constant oversupply and inflation. Governance Capture: Whales or a small group accumulate enough tokens to control voting, pushing decisions that benefit them, not the community. Adverse Selection: Early insiders or VCs dump their cheap tokens onto less-informed retail buyers who don't understand the true risks. Unpriced Tail Risk: The model ignores rare but catastrophic events (like hacks, regulation, or protocol failures), leaving the token vulnerable to sudden collapse.
uh no problem
