TOKENOMICS AUDIT CHECKLIST
Supply Architecture
Section 3
Total supply is a specific, documented number with rationale (not arbitrary)
Hard cap is enforced in the smart contract (not just in documentation)
Maximum supply is verified by inspecting the contract's `_maxSupply` or equivalent variable
All supply is accounted for: team + investors + community + treasury + ecosystem = 100%
Team and investor allocations are under vesting contracts already deployed before launch
Vesting Verification
Section 5
Team vesting: minimum 12-month cliff, minimum 36-month linear vest
Investor vesting: appropriate to round (seed: 6mo cliff, 36mo vest)
Vesting contracts are deployed and funded before token generation event (TGE)
Vesting contract is audited (not just the main token contract)
Vesting contract has no `emergencyWithdraw()` accessible by team without multi-sig
Emission Schedule
Section 7
Emission schedule is explicitly documented month-by-month for first 48 months
Maximum inflation rate at any single month is <15% of circulating supply
If activity-gated emission: emission caps at defined maximum regardless of activity
Emission schedule has been modeled at 50% of projected activity levels
Scoring
28–30: Launch-ready tokenomics | 24–27: Minor issues — fix before launch | 20–23: Significant issues — requires redesign | Below 20: Do not launch
