Come si trasforma la rigenerazione urbana e sociale in un valore per tutta la comunità? 🌿🏛️ A fine febbraio abbiamo portato il primo #ReFi Design Sprint a #Roma con #Ridaje, ospiti di @v_era3 Dall'impatto sul campo a un protocollo aperto. Vi raccontiamo com'è andata. 🧵👇

Your daily reminder that @Refi_Med and @rifaisicilia are n the Silvi Bioregional Reforestation round. Donations and matching QF funds go directly to supporting tree planters. You can track where your donations go because every tree is tracked transparently on Silvi. Link below👇
We’re seeding $100,000 in matching funds to 8 resilient bioregions combating deforestation. The Bioregional Reforestation Grants Round, the largest blockchain-native, outcomes-based reforestation grant round yet, is officially open! Portal link in bio 🧵👇

While everyone's at Devconnect 🇦🇷 a reminder that IRL next phase is atomic and decentralized. Last month in Rome, at Urbe Village, we ran an experiment: Can a small conference create real value for a DAO? ⌐◨-◨ Nouns gave us 1.5 ETH → we returned 2.45 ETH + 2 new members Small room, 65 people, high signal. - ReFi Roma node forming. - NGOs x Web3 x Universities actually talking. - Hubs Network's first IRL. Vibes in aftermovie 📹 youtu.be/ELKZE5WTVW0 After the parrilla and mate, your next IRL: Rome 🏛️ Dec 15-20. Open doors at our new hub for anyone who wants to shape what's next. DM for full Impact Report or 2026 info. For Good 💚

Today at @ethna_rocks we officially launched our donation portal. As we've grown as an organization and increased our capacity for impact we've made a down payment on a forest sanctuary and are asking the community to help us bootstrap "il boscho di sharewood".

Bioregional DAOs are local, place-based communities using Web3 tools to regenerate ecosystems & economies—from farms to forests. They raise capital via NFTs, steward real-world assets like land or mills, and fund local action with global coordination. Think: your bioregion, on-chain. The future is rooted & networked. 🛠🌍💚 hub.regencoordination.xyz/t/…

1/ Today, we're proud to announce that Stripe is acquiring Privy. We couldn’t be more excited. Privy will continue as an independent product – but now we’ll move faster, ship more, and serve you even better, so you can stay focused on your users.

We're grateful to be included in the @OctantApp Epoch 7 climate round alongside many of our regenerative friends. We'd like to share our story—where we've come from and where we're headed as we grow our network of regeneration projects across Sicily. Grant funding from @gitcoin and @Giveth has been our lifeline, enabling us to plant seeds for syntropic agroforestry projects while facing multiple climate crises: fires, droughts, and desertification. After years of learning and growing our experimental farm, we're ready to support other farms in our network to transition to syntropic agroforestry as the foundation for our regenerative bioregional economy. Can we reach 10 ETH in matching funds? Here's why you should allocate your $GLM to us and what we'll do with your support. teapawt.org/RifaiSicilia/status/17…
Replying to @RifaiSicilia
At this point everyone was exhausted but exhilarated. We had come together to do the seemingly impossible and had grown into a single organism of uniquely gifted humans. In the evening we enjoyed a presentation from @robertovalenti about his experience with @liminalvillage

GM Positive-sum games aren’t just a quirk of nature—they’re an evolutionary advantage. In nature, cooperation evolves when it helps organisms survive and reproduce. Mycorrhizal fungi trade nutrients with plants. Wolves hunt in packs. Even cells formed multicellular life because working together wins. Markets evolve the same way. Cooperation creates competitive advantage. Trade, specialization and capital allocation are positive sum and make economies more efficient, just as symbiosis makes ecosystems more resilient. Over time, positive-sum strategies outcompete zero-sum extraction. Ethereum accelerates this evolution. Onchain coordination protocols enable market-driven public goods funding, modular DAOs, and incentive structures that reward collective success while respecting individual rights. For me this is what makes the Regen space so interesting—designing and scaling positive-sum economies that are designed to regenerate value more than they extract it. Nature, markets, and blockchains all select for cooperation. That’s why Regen Web3 isn’t just possible—it’s inevitable.
