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.

The ReFi Project Database

Our database is a curated mapping of the Web3 regenerative finance space. We hope it will serve as a source of truth for the space and help new projects, in particular, establish an online footprint.

Features

All of the projects are accessible in one paged list:

Each project has its own dedicated profile page, including direct integration with Karma GAP milestones:

Each category in our taxonomy has its own dedicated page with aggregated data:

ReFi Impact Dashboard

We have started the aggregation and integration of the impact made by ReFi projects into a single dashboard. Metrics such as on-chain ecological credits issued, solar energy generated, and amount lent to regenerative projects can be tracked weekly.

Other Activities

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.

CARBON Copy Newsletter - We have moved our own weekly newsletter to Paragraph. Every week, we highlight a trend or news item in ReFi that we think readers both inside and outside the space should know about. Example: https://paragraph.xyz/@carboncopy/is-refai-the-future

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 - Trinity Morphy, our staff writer, hosts a ReFi Weekly podcast every Friday where he discusses industry trends with ReFi's key opinion leaders.

Weekly ReFi recaps - Trinity also now posts the ReFi Recap on the ReFi DAO blog every Monday. Example: https://blog.refidao.com/refi-recap-01-13/

ReFi News Feed - We aggregate news from across the ReFi space into a single RSS feed that anyone can subscribe to or integrate into their projects. As the ReFi space grows, we see this as an important source of truth for crypto and tech media outlets.

Roadmap

Looking forward, we are currently working on the following:

1) Impact metric integration on project profile pages

At the heart of our mission is the desire to help ReFi projects demonstrate and promote their impact. To that end, we are working towards integrating impact data directly on the project profile and category profile pages. We have already integrated data for 20 projects.

2) ReFi Impact Dashboard

We have launched the beta version and are now working on launching an updated version with more data connected and better interactivity.

3) Community database management

We want the ReFi project database to remain a public good. As such, we are aiming for a community approach where decisions regarding the database are not made by us. This would involve allowing projects to claim their profile page by purchasing an NFT for a modest sum.

4) 2025 editions of the State of ReFi and Impact DePIN reports

We aim to use this year's reports plus the data we are aggregating to produce richer, more insightful reports in 2025.

5) Latin American and Southeast Asian content

We are looking to expand the geographic scope of our content and offer analysis from wherever ReFi is making impact.
