PROVEN METHODOLOGY
Our M&A Tokenomics Framework
A structured, four-phase framework to design, model, and implement tokenomics for successful DAO mergers and acquisitions, ensuring alignment, governance clarity, and long-term value creation.
01
Strategic Token Valuation & Dilution Analysis
We model pre- and post-merger token supply, price impact, and dilution scenarios. Our analysis provides a clear valuation framework for negotiations, protecting existing holder value while enabling growth.

02
Governance & Voting Power Integration
Design of merged governance structures, including voting power distribution, proposal mechanics, and treasury management. We ensure fair representation and prevent governance attacks post-merger.

Vesting & Incentive Alignment Design
Creation of custom vesting schedules, liquidity mining programs, and contributor reward mechanisms to align incentives between merging communities and drive long-term participation.

Why a systematic framework matters for DAO M&A
Structured Approach vs. Ad-Hoc Mergers
A side-by-side comparison of a professionally engineered tokenomics merger versus a rushed, manual integration, highlighting risks, costs, and long-term viability.
| Key Factor | Ad-Hoc / Manual Merger | Chainscore Structured M&A |
|---|---|---|
Token Valuation Model | Subjective / Off-chain | On-chain, verifiable, and formulaic |
Governance Power Dilution | High risk of community backlash | Mathematically fair, transparent distribution |
Security & Smart Contract Risk | High (custom, unaudited code) | Low (audited, battle-tested frameworks) |
Time to Finalize Merger | 3-6+ months of negotiations | 4-8 weeks from term sheet to launch |
Post-Merge Treasury Management | Fragmented, manual processes | Unified, programmable multi-sig with vesting |
Community Sentiment & Trust | Often negative, divisive | Built via transparent simulations and forums |
Regulatory & Legal Clarity | Ambiguous, creates liability | Documented token flow and legal wrapper support |
Total Projected Cost (Year 1) | $250K+ in dev, legal, and ops | $80K - $150K all-inclusive service fee |
Long-Term DAO Health | Fragile, prone to governance attacks | Resilient, aligned, and scalable structure |

DAO M&A Tokenomics FAQs
Get clear answers to the most common questions about structuring tokenomics for DAO mergers, acquisitions, and strategic partnerships.
Our engagement follows a structured 4-phase methodology: 1) Discovery & Diligence (analyzing both DAOs' existing token models, governance, and treasury), 2) Strategic Design (modeling merger scenarios, dilution impacts, and incentive alignment), 3) Technical Architecture (designing smart contracts for token swaps, vesting, and governance delegation), and 4) Implementation & Launch Support (auditing, deployment, and community proposal guidance). We've applied this process to over 20 DAO restructuring projects.
