Deploy next version of ReFi Impact Dashboard
After publishing the early beta of the dashboard, we set out to better understand the data, metrics, and features that would make the dashboard truly valuable to stakeholders. With the funds raised from this round, we are able to hire a freelance developer to build the next versi…
Publish content by Greenpill Writers Guild
A major part of our grant application was centred around a partnership with Greenpill Writers Guild. The aim is for GPWG to produce educational content to support ReFi builders. This includes things like Web3 tooling guides.
Release ReFi Impact Dashboard beta
The ReFi impact dashboard aims to provide a snapshot of the impact being made in the ReFi space at any given moment. The beta version will display a small number of metrics with the goal of getting feedback from the community.
Integrate impact metrics for 20 projects
This is the first step towards building our ReFi impact dashboard. Each project will have its metrics displayed on its profile page. * Note : We fell short of our original goal of 50 projects, so we modified the milestone to reflect what we we were able to accomplish.
Detailed specs for ecosystem management tool
As we didn't raise enough to build the tool, our focus will be on finishing the specs so that it is ready to build once we get funding.
Publish 4 articles
On-chain collaborative finance (Done) Octant Epoch 7 analysis (in progress) The topics of the remaining two articles have yet to be determined.

Data integration update
We've only been able to integrate impact data for 17 projects to date. It hasn't been nearly as straightforward as we hoped it would be. Few projects have explicitly open data sources, Dune dashboards, or Subgraph queries. We find it unfortunate that data transparency isn't more…
Dashboard and Data Integration Q1 2025 Update
We are well behind on the delivery of v1 of the ReFi Impact Dashboard. This is in large part due to data limitations, shifting priorities, and the absence of a dedicated developer. More generally, we underestimated the amount of work involved to integrate data from 50 projects an…
Launched a curated database of Web3 regenerative finance (ReFi) projects.
Until now, we've added 250 active ReFi projects to the database. Each project has its own profile page complete with associated news, media coverage, fundraising, content, token, Karma GAP, and other relevant data. We've also created a page for each category that shows the list o…
Published The Impact DePIN Report 2024 to look more closely at the intersection of DePIN and ReFi.
