[GP43] Enhanced Tokenomics Simulator - An educative dApp for token economies research and simulation

Author: Yasmin Anacreto

1. Executive Summary

The Enhanced Tokenomics Simulator is a fully functional MVP dApp enabling interactive, data-driven modeling of token economies. As the Web3 ecosystem matures, the need for intuitive, on-chain simulation tools grows—this simulator fills that gap, powered by Gravity Chain’s high-performance infrastructure. Already built:

• Token economy simulator with dynamic modeling
• Configurable templates
• On-chain access control via smart contract on Gravity Chain

Target users: Web3 founders, token economists, developers, crypto enthusiasts

One-sentence pitch: A powerful, Web3-native simulator built on Gravity Chain that empowers users to design sustainable token models with real-time simulations and on-chain monetization.

2. The Opportunity

Market Gaps:

• Most tokenomics tools are too basic or overly complex/expensive
• Lack of decentralized, on-chain monetization models
• Gravity Chain lacks showcase dApps for developers

Why it matters:

• Reduces risk of flawed tokenomics
• Encourages experimentation and innovation
• Demonstrates Gravity Chain’s real-world capability

Analogy: Just as architects use structural simulation to design safe buildings, Web3 builders need tokenomics simulation to ensure stable economies.

3. The Solution (MVP Overview)

Key functions:

• Model token economies: Configure mint/burn, staking, utility, market forces
• Simulate: Observe token metrics like price, market cap, supply
• Visualize: Interactive, real-time graphs
• Manage templates: Save/export/import JSON configs
• Web3 wallet: MetaMask + automatic Gravity Chain switch
• Monetization: Lifetime access to premium features via 9.8 $G payment on-chain
• Built with: React, Tailwind CSS, Shadcn/UI, wagmi, ethers.js
• Smart Contract: LifetimeAccess.sol deployed on Gravity Chain, verified and live.

4. Go-to-Market Strategy

Channels & Actions:

• Gravity Chain Ecosystem: Share in Discord, Telegram, X
• Galxe Quests: Incentivize early usage with OATs/rewards
• Educational Content: Tutorials, blogs, videos (e.g., DeFi, GameFi models)
• Web3 Accelerators: Provide simulator to incubator cohorts

Why users care:

• Simplifies complex token modeling
• Saves time vs spreadsheets/scripts
• Fully Web3-native, integrated with Gravity Chain

Engagement Mechanics:

• Freemium model: 9.8 $G = lifetime premium features
• User-generated templates: Future community-driven marketplace
• Feedback = NFT badges: Unique NFTs for valuable in-app feedback

5. Key Features

• Tokenomics Configuration: Real-time parameter tuning (supply, burn, rewards, etc.)
• Dynamic Simulations: Real-time visual outputs (charts for price, supply, users)
• Template System: Save/duplicate/export/import as JSON
• Wallet Connection: MetaMask support, Gravity Chain switch
• On-chain Access Control: One-time 9.8 $G token payment, lifetime unlock
• Modern UI: Built with Shadcn/UI, responsive and intuitive
• Each feature is functional today and showcases Gravity Chain’s power for complex dApps.
