Welcome to the Token Engineering Academy!

TE Academy, founded in 2020, is an organization dedicated to advancing the field of token engineering—the design, verification, and optimization of cryptoeconomic, token-based systems. We consider token engineering a new engineering discipline in its own right, combining computer science, economics, systems engineering, and more.
Between 2020 and 2024, TE Academy conducted a long-term experiment in building a reputation system that leverages on-chain proofs. This system incentivizes progress in knowledge and achievements, laying the foundation for a Crypto-Meritocracy.
After 4.5 years, our system has engaged over 5,000 students, issued 1,788 NFTs, and secured more than $1 million in funding to advance knowledge as a public good.
This was made possible with the support of our partners, whose contributions helped sustain and grow this initiative.

Learn the Fundamentals of Token Engineering:
TE Fundamentals Module 1
Introduction to Token Engineering – This first module highlights five key articles and papers that have shaped the Token Engineering discipline. Each comes with an introductory video where the authors elaborate on their motivations and provide additional insights.
TE Fundamentals Module 2
Token Engineering Process: Discovery Phase – In Module 2, we introduce the first step in the Token Engineering Process: the Discovery Phase. Here, we begin by collecting requirements and exploring the system we aim to create.
TE Fundamentals Module 3
Token Engineering Process: Design Phase – Module 3 covers the next step in the Token Engineering Process: the Design Phase. We dive into the design considerations for the system based on the discoveries made in the previous phase.
TE Fundamentals Module 4
Token Engineering Process: Deployment Phase – Module 4 introduces the final phase of the Token Engineering Process. We focus on programming a model of the system we’ve designed, which we call the digital twin. If we can validate and verify this model, we’re ready to run simulations.
TE Fundamentals Module 5
Introduction to Governance for Token Engineers – This module provides an introduction to the landscape of token-based governance. We take a multidisciplinary approach to explore key concepts of governance, giving you the framework to analyze and implement Web3 governance systems.
