Today I spoke with Tommy and Taylor from ArmadaFi, the token economy infrastructure protocol on Solana, about their goal of simplifying token projects. They broke down ArmadaFi's 3 stage system encompassing smooth token launches, liquidity solutions, and transparent tokenomics suites.

We discussed key learnings from some of their early experiments with launches like flowmatic and Cypher, including the importance of setting proper user expectations and explaining mechanisms clearly. They also shared perspective on the limitations of existing governance systems like SPL Gov and the need for more modular and cost-effective tools.

A key theme throughout was their mission to create reusable frameworks and toolkits for token projects rather than teams burning runway constantly reinventing the wheel. They covered planned upgrades like migrating PsyFi to their staking and tokenomics packages as an example.

Tommy and Taylor also analyzed common incentives like point systems, highlighting the pitfalls around transparency versus utilizing tokens directly. By the end, their call to action to Solana teams was clear - leverage what ArmadaFi is building instead of building duplicative tools!
