*ReFi DAO is at the forefront of the Regenerative Finance (ReFi) movement, a pioneering force dedicated to leveraging Web3 technologies to regenerate the Earth’s ecosystems and foster economic systems that prioritize ecological and social well-being.

ReFi DAO emerged as a founder-led startup community during the rapid influx of talent & capital that emerged in the 2021 ReFi boom. Since then, and thanks to the support of our community, we have become the cultural home of ReFi for top founders, investors and builders at the intersection of impact and web3. We are here to support the mycelial growth of regenerative culture, technology and ventures, both online and in-person. So far, we’ve enabled more than 75 events in 58 cities, reached over 80k+ listeners, and served over 300 entrepreneurs. You can see the full list of founders, investors and events, content and deals on our website: refidao.com
Now, since the beginning of 2023, we have been laying the foundations for the emergence of a network of regenerative local communities across the globe. We refer to these as ‘ReFi Local Nodes’.
Connected by an online community, and enabled by the most powerful tools of our time—Local Nodes bring the physical and digital world together into a symphony of inner and outer regeneration. They are for founders conducting radical experiments to unlock a regenerative economy at scale, they’re for leaders of public, private and third-sector institutions, and they’re for anyone committed to taking action, building community, and making the world a better place.
One node at a time, we aim to create an interconnected, self-sustaining world, where technology and humanity walk hand in hand towards regeneration. You can browse through the list of existing Local Nodes at refidao.com/community/local. For an overview of the impact created by the local Node Network in 2023, check out this post: Regenerative Journeys: ReFi Local Nodes 2023 Roundup.
CoordiNATIONs are interwoven networks of community driven by shared values, mutualism, and voluntary association. At the heart of ReFi DAO’s vision lies a commitment towards forming a ‘Regen CoordiNATION’ weaving deeper partnership and interconnection between GreenPill Network, Regens Unite, Crypto Commons Association, and other value-aligned partners. Through collaborations on guides, toolkits, grant pools, guilds and more, we seek to unlock positive-sum synergies and build a pluralistic regenerative society for all.

Building a global regenerative economy, rooted in local communities.
ReFi DAO’s mission is to regenerate the Earth by catalysing regenerative economies at local, bioregional, and global scale. To get there, we aim to scale the Regenerative Finance (ReFi) movement and empower communities in co-creating a future rooted in social equity, economic opportunity, and ecological restoration.
The world is facing unprecedented ecological and social challenges. We need new thinking, new solutions, and new systems.
Despite growing awareness of the urgent need for economic, ecological and societal regeneration, today's systems remain fundamentally extractive, fragmented, and disconnected from the wellbeing of people and the planet. Emerging regenerative solutions often operate in silos, lacking the coordination, community, and tools needed to scale impact globally. There is a critical need for a trusted, mission-driven network that can bridge Web3 innovation with grassroots action, fostering interconnected local communities and catalyzing the emergence of a regenerative global economy.
Vision: A Network Society to Regenerate the Earth.
In the face of cascading global challenges, we do not despair. We envision a regenerative paradigm. A transformative future where community, finance, and technology work in synergy towards ecological and social harmony.
