Ponzinomics refers to a tokenomic structure where rewards are funded by new capital inflows and token emissions rather than organic revenue. It is a study of reflexive game theory, where the utility of the system is the expansion of the system itself. This model relies on a "Dilution-Liquidity Paradox": as more tokens are issued to sustain high yields, the underlying claim on the protocol's value decreases.

This work analyzes the aesthetics of the "death spiral." It documents the transition from euphoric growth to systemic contraction. High APYs function as a psychological tool to lock users into an ecosystem designed for mercenary capital. In crypto, Ponzinomics is often a transparent, coded experiment in unsustainable growth—a gamble on timing and the endurance of collective mania.
