Biography
Liam studied economic design at the London School of Economics before pivoting to decentralized governance models in 2019. He found that most token distributions were heavily weighted against retail participants. He began publishing tokenomics breakdowns to audit project distribution schedules, unlock periods, and voting mechanics.
Mission & Impact
Liam's deep-dives analyze whether a project's token actually has long-term utility or if it exists solely to enrich early venture capital backers. His reports help investors make informed decisions based on token emission rates, helping them avoid projects with hidden dilution risks.
A token is a micro-economy. If the economic incentives are poorly aligned, the protocol will fail regardless of its technology.
