“Blockchains and the Token Economy” is a must read for anyone trying to understand big concepts like decentralization, token economy, and digital assets. Skillfully, Mary and Horst have brought together both the practical and real with the theoretical and ‘work-in-progress’ use cases in a collaborative book, underscoring that blockchain technology is truly a ‘team sport’ technology.”
- Sandra Ro, CEO, Global Blockchain Business Council
“In Blockchain Revolution, we predicted that tokens, smart contracts and blockchains would transform nearly every industry. In Blockchains and The Token Economy...leading academic and practitioner authors show us that the token economy has arrived for everything from real estate and supply chains to NFTs and metaverses.”
- Alex Tapscott, Co-Founder, Blockchain Research Institute “If blockchain grows in about the same way that the cloud did, by 2030, around half of all new business contracts are likely to be done using smart contracts and digital tokens. Professors Lacity and Treiblmaier have established themselves as top experts in this space and this book gives you a sense of how the world of commerce is about to change dramatically.” - Paul Brody, Principal & Global Blockchain Leader, Ernst & Young
