Designing Token Economies with Less Inflation and Inequality in the Absence of State and Central Bank: Experimental Liberal Anarchist Token Smart Contract
Token-based digital economies operating without a central bank present both an opportunity and a challenge in the post-fiat era. In the absence of monetary authorities, decentralized economies must rely on endogenous mechanisms to control inflation, encourage circulation, and mitigate inequality. This paper presents a multidisciplinary investigation—grounded in mathematics, computer science, and economics—of such economies. We analyze token issuance dynamics, wealth distribution, and market behavior using mathematical formalism and propose smart contract-based policy mechanisms as substitutes for central bank functions. We also develop open-source Solidity codes of an experimental test token ELAT (Experimental Liberal Anarchist Token) under MIT License. This contract is part of a broader research experiment into stateless token economies, combining insights from mathematics, computer science, and economic theory, inspired by works of crypto-anarchist frameworks. Finally, we set the philosophical challenges and its economical rules for The Experimental Libertarian Anarchist Economical System (TELAES) in alignment with sustainable development goals, to be further discussed and developed by the scientific and policy community.
