- One section of the Codex Whitepaper (CDX Tokenomics)

### Tracking Metrics
Completion of the respective sections in the Codex Litepaper and Whitepaper.

### Work breakdown
- Definition and analysis of Codex economy
- CDX as utility token for all participants (collateral and payment).

### Perceived Risks
Technical and legal constraints.
