Hi, I'm
Jeff Emmett
Token engineering researcher exploring bonding curves, Web3 economies, and mycoeconomics. Building tools for regenerative communities and commons-based governance.
Research & Projects
Exploring token engineering, regenerative economics, and decentralized governance systems
Commons Stack
Cyber-physical commons architecture translating Ostrom's principles into DAO templates. Building open-source, token engineered component libraries for communal management of public goods.
Bonding Curve Research Group
Research and development of Primary Issuance Markets enabling dynamic token supply. Challenging fixed supply paradigms with adaptive mechanisms that dampen volatility.
MycoFi & Mycoeconomics
Economic systems inspired by fungal networks. Regenerative protocols built on cooperation, mutual aid, and permaculture currency principles. Author of book.mycofi.earth.
Conviction Voting
Novel continuous decision-making mechanism for DAO governance. Eliminates time-boxed voting attack vectors while increasing community participation and long-term alignment.
Augmented Bonding Curves
Primary Issuance Markets that create economic boundaries for commons ecosystems. Enables continuous fundraising, algorithmic liquidity, and price volatility dampening.
Token Engineering Commons
First field test of Commons Stack components. Outperformed other public goods tokens in risk-adjusted returns, demonstrating benefits of primary issuance markets.
About Me
Our economic and governance systems are failing us. They extract rather than regenerate, concentrate rather than distribute, and optimize for short-term gains over long-term flourishing. I'm working to change that.
With the Commons Stack, we're building tools that let communities actually govern their shared resources—not through top-down control or market fundamentalism, but through thoughtful design that learns from both Elinor Ostrom's commons research and the possibilities of programmable money.
Through MycoFi, I'm exploring what economics might look like if we took seriously the lessons from fungal networks—systems that have been solving resource allocation problems for hundreds of millions of years. Cooperation over competition. Regeneration over extraction. The wisdom of the mycelium.
This isn't just theory. We've built and deployed conviction voting, bonding curves, and other mechanisms that real communities use every day. The work is messy and ongoing, but it matters— because the alternatives we build today shape the possibilities of tomorrow.
