Regen Coordination is an emerging Network Nation—a values-aligned alliance of Web3-enabled communities working together to drive ecological, social, and economic regeneration. Founded by ReFi DAO and Greenpill Network and supported by key partners Celo Public Goods and Gitcoin, we weave across a constellation of cosmo-local regeneration networks including ReFi Local Nodes, Greenpill Chapters, BioFi, Ma Earth, Bloom Network, AgroforestDAO, and others.
Our work spans three core areas: coordinating funding rounds that have distributed over $370,000 to regenerative communities worldwide, building shared infrastructure including AI-enhanced impact evaluation systems and the Local ReFi Toolkit, and advancing collective impact through network coordination and capacity building. We pioneered the first implementation of ImpactQF (Impact-Weighted Quadratic Funding), combining AI evaluation with human oversight to allocate capital based on verified outcomes rather than popularity.
Regen Coordination makes decentralized ecosystems more legible, aligned, and interconnected—turning fragmentation into collaborative strength and offering funders, communities, and institutions a credible, scalable pathway to regeneration. We represent a new paradigm where blockchain technology integrates with everyday community life and local economies, grounding Ethereum's vision into real-world coordination and resource management.
Regen Coordination builds the coordination infrastructure for a decentralized, regenerative civilization powered by Web3.
Our mission is to weave together diverse regenerative communities—from ReFi Local Nodes to Greenpill Chapters to bioregional restoration initiatives—into a coordinated network that amplifies collective impact while preserving local sovereignty and context-specific wisdom.
We envision a future where:
Our North Star Outcomes:
Through collaborative pathways to regeneration, we're building the scaffolding for Ethereum Localism—where blockchain technology becomes the cosmo-local coordination layer for community collaboration, resource allocation, and regenerative economies worldwide.
The regenerative finance (ReFi) and Web3 ecosystem faces several critical coordination challenges that limit its impact and scalability:
Fragmentation and Isolation: Local regenerative communities operate in silos without shared infrastructure, knowledge commons, or coordinated funding mechanisms. This isolation prevents cross-pollination, duplicates efforts, and limits collective impact potential.
Capital Allocation Inefficiencies: Traditional funding mechanisms in Web3 often become popularity contests, rewarding projects based on marketing prowess and social capital rather than demonstrated regenerative outcomes. This misaligns incentives and diverts resources from high-impact initiatives.
Lack of Real-World Integration: Much Web3 funding supports abstract digital projects rather than tangible community needs. Local economies struggle to access Web3 capital flows, and when they do, value quickly exits through centralized exchanges rather than circulating within regenerative systems.
Limited Impact Measurement: The ecosystem lacks standardized, transparent methods for tracking and evaluating regenerative outcomes across diverse contexts—from urban resilience projects to bioregional restoration—making it difficult for funders to make informed decisions and for communities to demonstrate their value.
Institutional Barriers: Mainstream institutions (municipal governments, philanthropic foundations, public agencies) lack accessible pathways to integrate with decentralized regenerative initiatives, limiting the potential for blended finance and scaled impact.
These challenges prevent the Web3 regenerative ecosystem from reaching its potential as infrastructure for planetary restoration and community resilience, keeping valuable innovations isolated rather than interconnected and coordinated.
Regen Coordination addresses these challenges through a comprehensive cosmo-local coordination approach that combines global infrastructure with locally-grounded implementation:
Network Coordination Infrastructure: We build and maintain shared coordination systems that connect regenerative communities worldwide while preserving local autonomy. Our polycentric network design enables autonomous member organizations to collaborate through distributed leadership and flexible governance adapted to context.
ImpactQF Innovation: We pioneered Impact-Weighted Quadratic Funding, the first implementation combining AI-enhanced evaluation with human oversight using the Common Impact Data Standard (CIDS). This methodology allocates capital based on verified regenerative outcomes rather than popularity, creating proper incentive alignment for ecosystem development.
Local ReFi Toolkit: We develop and deploy practical, accessible resources that help communities launch regenerative economies using Web3 tools. This includes step-by-step guidance for hosting empowering meetups, coordinating environmental projects, launching local credit pools, and deploying regenerative digital infrastructure.
Cosmo-Local Capital Flows: We pioneer "matching-on-matching" dynamics that blend Web3 ecosystem funding with municipal governments, philanthropic foundations, and institutional actors. Examples include our partnership with Zazelenimo in Split, Croatia, which combines Ethereum-aligned participatory funding with 3:1 municipal matching for citizen-led urban greening.
AI-Enhanced Evaluation Systems: We integrate advanced AI evaluation (GPT-4o and Claude 3.7) with human oversight to provide scalable, transparent impact assessment. This enables consistent evaluation across diverse contexts while reducing operational friction and providing actionable feedback to communities.
Bioregional Funding Orchestration: We coordinate localized funding rounds across different bioregions and communities, enabling place-based resource allocation while maintaining shared values, methodologies, and infrastructure. This creates healthy competition among communities to demonstrate regenerative outcomes and Total Value Flowed (TVF) within local Web3 economies.
Through these integrated solutions, we transform fragmented regenerative efforts into a coordinated global movement with local impact.
