Current staking models overwhelmingly favour idle capital at the expense of actual work, producing inflationary, extractive ecosystems that reward rent-seeking rather than value creation. To escape this death spiral, Web3 must pivot to performance-based tokenomics that tie emissions and revenue-share to verifiable contributions—code shipped, liquidity provided, governance participation—creating sustainable, self-reinforcing networks where productive users—not passive holders—capture the majority of newly issued tokens. By aligning incentives with measurable output instead of raw stake, protocols can hard-code growth and resilience into their economic architecture.
