[Tokenomics] Token Protocol Analysis - Develop Model and Design Simulation and A/B Testing Framework

[jessicadaugherty]

Objective

Use historic data to use node stakes etc. to see expected rewards given parameters at the token node actor level to answer:

• How does the protocol work with tokens? How do changes to the protocol impact tokenomic behaviors like rewards etc.?
• How does the cherrypicker work with tokens? How do changes to the cherrypicker impact tokenomic behaviors?
• How do market factors like liquidity work with tokens? How do changes to market factors impact tokenomic behaviors?
• What are the cost profiles of different service runners and node providers?

Goals

• [ ] Node level model for understanding the impacts of code changes on tokenomics

Deliverable

• [ ] RADCAD model for nodes

Non-goals / Non-deliverables

• Integrating with the Cherrypicker

General issue deliverables

• [ ] Update the appropriate CHANGELOG
• [ ] Update any relevant READMEs (local and/or global)
• [ ] Update any relevant global documentation & references
• [ ] If applicable, update the source code tree explanation
• [ ] If applicable, add or update a state, sequence or flowchart diagram using mermaid
