We fill the information void in Web3 regenerative finance (ReFi) by providing a combination of news, education, expert analysis, industry reports, and project evaluation to help industry stakeholders better understand the space and to get projects more exposure.

A core part of this is our comprehensive, curated ReFi company database. Each company has its own profile page complete with contact info, news, media coverage, content feed, token and fundraising data, and more. Each category in our taxonomy also has its own dedicated page showing aggregated data.

As part of our data efforts, we have launched a beta version of our ReFi Impact Dashboard which aims to aggregate and quantify the impact being made by projects in the space.

What We Do

Industry Reports - We released the 2024 editions of our cornerstone industry report, The State of ReFi, in February in coordination with ReFi DAO and The Impact DePIN Report in July in coordination with Arkreen, Switch Electric, and Shamba Network.

Regenerative Self-Assessment - We have launched a survey based on the research of Kate Bennett to help ReFi/Web3 projects become more regenerative in their organisation and impact.

Articles & Interviews - We are slowly building a team of writers that produce rich analytical articles on ReFi topics, with a specific focus on localised impact. Example: Exploring ReFi's Potential in Nigeria.

X Spaces - We have started to host monthly X Spaces around topics relevant to the ReFi space. We've so far discussed the GG20 Climate Round with Climate Coordination Network, the Impact DePIN Report with Arkreen, Switch Electric, and Shamba Network, and the launch of our project database with Pranav Khanna.

Weekly ReFi recaps - We aggregate the news, wins, content, and thoughts from the ReFi space each week into a single article so stakeholders can stay up to do with what's happening. Example: This Week in ReFi: July 20th-26th

ReFi News Feed - We track the happenings in the ReFi space and make them available on our website and via a dedicated RSS feed: https://api.carboncopy.news/feed

Roadmap

Looking forward, we are currently working on the following:

Impact metric integration on project profile pages (Ongoing)
Expand the geographic breadth of our content and analysis (Q3-Q4)
"One Idea" contributed content to give ReFi thought leaders a chance to articulate their thoughts (Q1-Q2)
Improved ReFi Impact Dashboard (Q3)
Community database management (Q4)
2025 editions of the State of ReFi and Impact DePIN reports (Q1 and Q3)

How We Will Use the Funds

The vast majority of the funds will go towards developing our content creation network. We aim to have correspondents in key areas of the world where ReFi is making the biggest impact, specifically Latin America, Africa, and South/Southeast Asia.
