What is ReFi? 🧐
For those of you who don't know, 'ReFi' is a term that refers to the 'Regenerative Finance' movement that is the combination of two unique sectors:
Regenerative economics
Decentralized finance (or DeFi)
ReFi has exploded over the last two years with the launch of KlimaDAO and Toucan, but it has roots since Giveth was founded in 2017. Today there are hundreds of startups looking at how to use cutting edge technologies such as blockchain, AI, remote sensing, satellite imagery and open science to solve the most pressing challenges of our time.
Listen to the "What is ReFi?" episode on ReFi Podcast.
This first meetup will be an important event in growing the regenerative finance movement in one of the world's most pivotal web3 and sustainability hubs—Lisbon.
