DeFi Researcher Says Tokenomics Innovation Is Returning, Tokens to Gain Real Value

The claim matters less for any specific design than for the direction of travel: after a long stretch in which token issuance was treated as an afterthought, the researcher's read is that teams are experimenting again rather than copying old templates. That shift, if it holds, affects the entire pipeline of new launches and how existing tokens are judged on utility rather than narrative. The obvious gap is the absence of named examples, so the open question is whether this revival shows up in designs that can be independently assessed, or stays at the level of commentary.
