The Status Network has a utility token, the Status Network Token
(SNT). What does that even mean? What utilities does it have and how
do their uses affect the rest of the ecosystem? Does it have an impact
on valuation? What even is valuation of a utility token?

There is currently quite a bit of work being done in this field, but
it is mostly for investment firms to make appropriate calls on buying,
selling, and holding various project’s tokens. While this is
drastically important for growth and project funding, we at Status
feel that there are other, less financially motivated reasons to do
this work which require a different approach. More specifically, any

decisions among a diversified portfolio of cryptoassets. While this is

of research on capital and resource allocation inside of a single network.
More specifically, any utility token needs to be able to objectively evaluate
various features and utilities of their platform, and how they affect the

To this end, we would like to start a blog series detailing some of
the research we are doing within Status to objectively evaluate the
flow of SNT, the potential effects of our implemented (and upcoming)
value flows of SNT, the potential effects of our implemented (and upcoming)
SNT use cases within Status, and how our potential user growth changes
things. This work will encompass traditional economic and portfolio
things. This work will encompass traditional economic and finance
theory, work currently being done in crypto-economics, and novel
methodology. That means a part of this endeavor is an attempt to get
peer review and evaluation of what we do by you, the community!

The use case and token flow are both relatively simple, but what are
the effects on the ecosystem? Let’s first try and model what value
the effects on the network? Let’s first try and model what value
this could potentially accrue over time. We can start by picking out
the variables in this process to see how things depend on each other.

It is clear that this all depends on how many users Status has in the

This is our base metric, and we will model it using compounding growth

define how this number changes over the next 10 years. This means that

Having the amount of SNT locked up is quite useful by itself. From
there, we can look at the circulating supply and see how this use-case
affects its availability. It is also interesting to see how this maps
to real world assets by look at the current price of SNT in US Dollars
to more traditional assets by looking at the current price of SNT in US Dollars
(USD). Since most evaluation mechanism use a market capitalization
(cap) metric to compare different networks and tokens, mapping each
use-case , and eventually the whole network, allows us to see how much
