Programme Committee

Tokenomics’ Scope

CBER-Tokenomics 2026, the 7th International Conference on Blockchain Economics, Security and Protocols, is a leading interdisciplinary forum focusing on the theory, design, analysis, implementation, and applications of blockchain economics, decentralized systems, and digital platforms. The conference brings together economists, computer scientists, finance researchers, and industry practitioners working at the frontier of digital assets and emerging technologies. Original interdisciplinary research connecting economic incentives and market design with distributed systems, networks, and system security is particularly encouraged.

Relevant topics include token and protocol design, decentralized finance, stablecoins and digital payments, DAOs and decentralized governance, tokenized real-world assets, prediction markets, AI agents and decentralized AI, as well as economic world models and applications of large language models to macroeconomic, financial, and economy-wide modelling. The program offers opportunities to engage with distinguished invited speakers and selected academic presentations. Full-length working papers from both the Economics and Computer Science tracks are welcome for submission to the main conference.

The Tokenomics Conference was founded by Vincent Danos (ENS), Maria Potop-Butucaru (Sorbonne University), Julien Prat (IP Paris), and Sara Tucci (CEA). This year’s edition of the conference will be organized in collaboration with the Crypto and Blockchain Economics Research Forum (CBER).
