Next up, a little context.

Regenerative Finance is rooted in regenerative economic theory.

The idea is that we need to move away from our existing "extractive" economic model, where we typically exploit the earth's resources for profit, to a regenerative model where we prioritize regenerating the earth and society in tandem with profit. 

A blockchain example of a regenerative economy is a chain like @celo that allocates a portion of its transaction fees to support public goods and climate impact.

@octant is another great example. It takes the proceeds from staked ETH and uses them to fund public goods. @glodollar does the same with the revenue from its stablecoin reserve.

Examples are harder to find in the real-world. An example would be a company that allocates some of its revenue to regenerating the surrounding area.

In the next cast, I'll list more specific examples, @christin.

As promised, @christin, here are some examples of ReFi projects across the different categories:

1. Grants to projects and individuals

- @climatenetwork @gitcoin @maearth @celo @refidao 

2. Rewards for climate- and social-positive activities

- DeCleanup, Arkreen, AquaSave, Treegens, Beach Collective, Cleanify, Litter Token, UCO Network

3. Retail investments in impact ventures

- @ethichub @refimedellin ReFi Hub, Unergy, Alternun, penomo, $EARTH

4. Universal Basic Income allocations

- ImpactMarket, GoodDollar, Circles

5. Ecological credit verification and sales

- Regen Network, Open Forest Protocol, Shamba Network, Carbify, Glow Foundation

I'm allergic to ReFi and most people know it 😅 I'm active in the BioFi space and am recruiting people into the /flows  and /vrbs programs. I'm only stewarding the grants for the town I live in until someone here steps up and takes over which is why I'm hosting events and grabbed a 2nd Starlink so I can get them on boarded and rocking in web3. (I am gainfully employed in a different space)
