🙌 Support ReFi DAO Local Node Network! 🙌

We're participating in the Real World Builders and Regen Coordi-Nation rounds in @gitcoin #GG21, and we need your help! ✨ 

👉https://tinyurl.com/ReFiDAOLocalNodeNetwork

↓🧵 Here’s a quick dive into our work and achievements... 🚀

1/6 🌱 We’re an online community launched in January 2022, aiming to help solve global problems through Regenerative Finance (#ReFi) and Web3. We aim to create an economy that works for people and the planet.

2/6 🔥 Last year, we supported the launch of 30+ ReFi Local Nodes with $55k in funding.

This year, we revamped our program for the Beta Cohort, and raised $110k for @RegenCoordinate where you can support local nodes and aligned projects 👉 tinyurl.com/RegenCoordi-Nation

3/6 🗺 But what  Exactly Are ReFi Local Nodes? 

These are local hubs where people learn and use regenerative financial practices, empowering communities for a sustainable future. With support from @Celo Foundation, @CeloEurope, and @CeLatamOrg, we’ve launched 30+ Local Nodes.


4/6 🌟 How do we support Local Nodes? 

Alongside our incubator program, we provide a Local Node Toolkit (https://tinyurl.com/LocalNodeToolkit) with 20+ pages of guidance on events and ReFi presentations. Plus, we’ve built a strong network for sharing ideas and avoiding pitfalls.

5/6 And then what? 🔍 

We are exploring a variety of impact tracking tools and systems, including using @hypercerts on @Celo to monitor progress and feed into a funding round to reward high-impact projects.

6/6 🎨 We’ve even launched a ReFi Local Node Branding Hub! 🎨

We offer customizable graphics, templates, and guides to help Local Nodes create standout visuals and stay aligned with the ReFi DAO family. 📸✨


🚀 Your support can make a world of difference! 🌟Every little bit helps us build a brighter, more regenerative future! ✨

$5k cUSD Boost for ReFi Nodes Gitcoin GG18 thanks to KnktDAO!

Every person can make a unique contribution to the symphony of regeneration.

When you find your purpose—your unique gift—everything else falls into place.

Imagine a world where each person leads from the heart to create the beautiful world we all know is possible?

🧵🪡

1/

Unfortunately, we live in a society where children are taught not to cry, trained not to feel...

Our schools teach students to sit up, stand straight & follow orders.

The result is a traumatic disconnect from who we are, what we need, & how we create beauty in our world.

2/

The decentralized side of #ReFi explores how to remove financial intermediaries to create new value systems that actually work towards human & planetary health.

Yet no matter how much we dis-intermediate, financial systems are still designed by people—people just like us...

3/

If we as regens are not in touch with our our thoughts, bodies and emotions—how can we sense what WE need, let alone what the WORLD needs?

If we cannot sense and respond to our own condition—how can we ever make complex systems that take care of an entire planet?

4/

In this bear market we are invited to slow down, to dig deeper and reflect upon our true intentions.

In this time we are able to inquire:

- Who am I?
- What do I need?
- What am I uniquely capable of doing?
- Who do I feel called to serve?

5/

We can only answer these questions during down cycles...

In this time of quiet we can reach deep conviction about our own contributions to the symphony of regeneration.

From this foundation, the power of the bull can then enable us to innovate towards planetary flourishing.

6/

So here's to you regen—reading this when so many others are tinkering around with new configurations to endless money games.

Here's to the infinite exploration of self, of beauty and of nature.

Here's to the inner work that unlocks regeneration for all living beings.

7/

Here's to finding your place in an ecosystem of optimism, possibility & innovation.

Here's to doing less better—to building intricate money legos that are stronger together.

Here's to recognizing you don't have it all figured out & testing your hypothesis with real people.

8/

Sow your seeds.

Do your part.

Patiently wait as the germination begins.

It is quiet now... but the decomposition of old ideas are bringing forth fertile soil for explosive growth and innovation.

END/
