About this course

Launching a token project? You need to master tokenomics, fundraising, and treasury management—or your project will fail.

This course teaches you the complete financial playbook for token projects: how to design a token’s utility and supply, structure a fundraising round, manage a DAO treasury, and navigate regulatory requirements. You’ll work through real 2026 tools, case studies from Uniswap, Arbitrum, and Optimism, and build a complete tokenomics and finance plan for your own project.

By the end, you’ll be able to:
– Design a token supply schedule and vesting plan that aligns incentives
– Model your token’s valuation and plan a fundraising round
– Structure a DAO treasury and plan runway
– Execute a liquidity and market-making strategy
– Identify and comply with regulatory requirements in major jurisdictions
– Build dashboards to communicate financial health to investors and community

Ideal for founders, finance leads, and investors who want to move beyond hype and understand the mechanics of sustainable token projects.

Prerequisites: Basic understanding of blockchain and smart contracts (or completion of a Web3 fundamentals course).

Duration: 8–10 hours of video and exercises.
