I will be tweeting about the amazing #Gitcoin round 15 projects in the climate and ReFI space that I know and think highly of. There are a couple I have already tweeted about. I will also try to host a couple spaces with projects.
I'll only amplify quality, real projects that I understand, and can vouch for. This does not mean that other projects are not quality, only that I...personally, cannot vouch for them!
Please don't ask me to amplify projects that I am not already involved with (you know who you are...if we've been talking for a while, I consider you in the family). The best way to get my support is to build a relationship for subsequent grant rounds.
In order to serve the community, the gitcoin quadratic process, I will not amplify anyone I do not have an existing working relationships with in some way. I think this is the most responsible way to shill for now.

The 8 forms of capital was/is a folk economics framework to guide holistic understanding and empower engagement and design of regenerative enterprise ecosystems.
When @Ethan_Soloviev and I first co-created the 8cap framework, we can a flood of academic pushback claiming that we'd not done a thorough enough lit review. What that feedback didn't understand was we intentionally observed a participatory process and shared the results.
The power of generating a folk framework is enormous. It is (of course) also valuable to learn and review the intellectually richness of the academic world. In fact, these are complimentary approaches.
0/ Part of our thesis at @regen_network is that #ReFi needs its own dedicated layer1 app chain with a dev team that builds tools and tech for the use-case of ecological accounting, commons and climate markets. Who and what does the core team maintain your blockchain work for? 🧵
1/ Interesting fact: the refi use case and @regen_network’s emphasis on land stewards as a core user has generated much of the innovation in the @cosmossdk that the #ibcgang is enjoying now. Authz and cosmwasm being two prime examples.
2/ Good tech follows commitment to clear uses cases and a solid ethical foundation. The challenges of building a native web3 ecological asset origination system creates the crucible for the most battle tested fasted growing crypto ecosystem: @cosmos.
0/ How to turn a ton of “living carbon” (carbon that’s been sequestered or is being stored in a living ecosystem into a carbon credit:
A 🧵 on a complex topic.
1/ The basic building blocks of how communities, individuals, companies or countries can create a high integrity, transparent process to link economic value to ecological health, and specifically carbon outcomes, is the reason for existence of @regen_network
2/ 1: Establish the rules for the credit. In @regen_network we call this the credit class.
These rules formalize the credit issuance logic into a standard, or methodology. In Regen Network these credit class’s are self governed as an Eco-credit DAO.
Dear VCs. If you are not investing in a portfolio that plausibly leads to a thriving world for your great great grandchildren, I am not interested in your opinion or your money. You're not only on the wrong side of history and you're on the wrong side of market trends
Here's the rub. What will a thriving world look like? This is not idle speculation. We have a single planet, with a unified biosphere. Apply Aldo Leopold's land ethic at scale. Any business that increases the health of the biosphere is good (investible).
Any business that decreases the health of the biosphere is bad (uninvestable). We may argue about politics, strategy, tactics and trends. However there is a global imperative, global boundaries, and global opportunity. Corporate ESG is already transforming fiduciary duty.
