One of the core questions that arises as @regen_network moves towards an open crediting framework is:

“How do we tell if a thing is doing a good thing, or if it is just a 2 dimensional representation of what we’ve been taught to think is good”- @caseorganic
(Fantastic distillation by Case!)
🧵 To answer this we have to be able to ask:
What is good? And who is defining what is good?
How do we achieve what is good? Know we’ve achieved something good?

There are generally two main schools of thought in this:

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.

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!

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.

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

love seeing Delton get some mainstream attention for his foundational work on a global carbon coin. 🧵

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).
