🛠️Crypto tool of the week
A new tool for tracking project fundamentals
Recently, Aragon released a new tool called Ownership Token Framework that shows how much control token holders have over a protocol.
It supports only a very small number of tokens, but the idea seems interesting.
Using it, you can check for a token that you choose:
Its value accrual mechanisms
Whether its maximum token supply is fixed or not
What’s its exact utility
It can be pretty useful when analyzing tokenomics.
