What is ReFi?

Regenerative Finance uses money as a tool to solve some of the most challenging issues we face in the world, including combatting the natural climate and environmental crises in a way that will help benefit the Earth for future generations.

It is a movement towards establishing a new financial system in balance with the earth and its planetary boundaries – one where economics and ecology align.

It is a new way to think about economics, looking at how we can connect financial activity in tandem with regenerating the world’s natural resources, making the environment a key stakeholder within the global economic system.

In crypto, regenerative finance focuses on funding community and public goods projects that will support our largest silent stakeholder: planet Earth. Increased sources of demand for carbon credits, or new use cases like real-world asset-backed stablecoins, can make it a lucrative asset while also catalyzing environmental project development. And increased demand is made possible by the tokenized carbon credits that can be integrated natively within applications for automated climate action. The concept of ReFi sees money as a powerful tool to aggressively address our greatest challenge – the climate crisis. It is the idea of how to make capital flow to regenerate the Earth in a manner that is scalable, permissionless, and without middlemen.
