What is an Economic Audit?

An Economic Audit is a comprehensive evaluation of a protocol’s financial and incentive structures to ensure long-term sustainability, efficiency, and security. We analyze tokenomics, capital flows, incentive mechanisms, and systemic risks to prevent economic failures like hyperinflation, liquidity crises, or unsustainable rewards. A robust economic model isn’t just about growth, it’s about resilience.
