While the primary focus of 5G has been on industry verticals, future 6G mobile networks are anticipated to become more human-centered. Emerging cyber-physical-social systems (CPSSs) aim at functionally integrating human beings into today's cyber-physical systems at the social, cognitive, and physical levels. CPSSs are instrumental in realizing the human-centered Society 5.0 vision. Society 5.0 envisions human beings increasingly interacting with social robots and embodied artificial intelligence in their daily lives. In this article, we build on our recent work on robonomics in the 6G era. Robonomics is an emerging field that investigates social human-robot interaction and its sociotechnical impact as well as blockchain technologies and cryptocurrencies, not only coins but - more interestingly - also tokens. Specifically, we study the tokenization process of creating tokenized digital twins of assets and access rights in the physical and digital world, paying close attention to its central role in ushering in the future Web3 and its underlying token economy, the successor of today's information and platform economies. After introducing our CPSS-based bottom-up multilayer token engineering framework for Society 5.0, we experimentally demonstrate how the collective human intelligence of a blockchain-enabled decentralized autonomous organization can be enhanced via purpose-driven tokens.
