## Content

Token Engineering Commons (TEC) is a social protocol, educating token engineers in tokenomic system design.

Token Engineering is an emerging discipline and TEC is building the foundations for education in the field of tokenomics design. The upcoming [Token Engineering Fundamentals](https://medium.com/tokenengineering/token-engineering-fundamentals-49b15b42fa5) course is free and will launch at DevCon, in October 2022.

Gnosis Chain serves an important function to the TEC, as the community and contributors are paid in xDAI. The $TEC token is used for conviction voting and the treasury is spent on building the field of token engineering and funding public goods.
