Regen Coordination

Hello world ??

?? Can pop-up cities incubate the future of society? This week, the?ReFi Podcast is back with a?special bonus episode?of Regeneration Nexus. Tereza Bízková and Maya Dentzel sit down with?Timour Kosters, co-founder of?Edge City, to explore how these immersive spaces are testing?new models for governance, funding, and collaboration?in real time. ??? Instead of just talking about change, pop-up cities?let people live it.?These temporary, experimental communities bring together leaders in?tech, governance, and regenerative finance?to prototype?community currencies, decentralized decision-making, and public goods funding models. ?? Key takeaways from the conversation: ?? Pop-up cities are living labs.?Unlike conferences, they provide real-world environments where participants co-create governance models, new economic systems, and regenerative community structures. ?? Regeneration is a framework for change.?Transformation happens by?building alternatives, not just tweaking broken systems.?Pop-up cities create a space to test and iterate on new ways of organizing society. ??? ?Governance & funding are being reimagined.?AI-assisted decision-making, quadratic funding, and decentralized community coordination are being tested as viable models for future cities. ?? Could pop-up cities evolve into permanent regenerative communities??Timour believes they could become blueprints for a new way of living—bridging the gap between?short-term experimentation and long-term societal transformation. As the movement grows, pop-up cities could redefine?how we live, work, and collaborate—but will they scale beyond temporary experiments? ????Listen to the full episode & join the conversation!

???? ???? ????????????! It's Trinity Morphy here again with the #ReFiRecaps. I hope you touched some trees during the weekend? Here's a recap of key happenings last week in the ReFi space, including the regen alpha you missed. ?? ?????? ???????????????? ???????????? ?????????? ???? ?? Memecoins have reinforced the perception of crypto as a casino, with insiders orchestrating coordinated pumps while uninformed buyers serve as exit liquidity. While the #ReFi space has largely avoided memecoins due to ethical concerns, it has also missed opportunities to innovate on their fundraising potential such as using bonding curves and trading fees to support ecological and social impact. In this week's edition of the newsletter, we highlight James Magee's discussion in #ReFi Weekly about memecoins as a potential funding mechanism for #ReFi.

Finance is one of the most powerful coordination tools we have—but the systems we rely on today were designed for extraction, not regeneration. ?? In our Open Conversation, Monty Bryant ????♂??, founder of ReFi DAO, laid out a different vision: an economic system that funds restoration, strengthens communities, and builds long-term resilience. Instead of propping up extractive models, regenerative finance directs capital into projects that restore ecosystems and support local economies. Web3 is helping scale this shift, with tools like ecological currencies and bioregional funding models paving the way. ??

Monty Bryant ????♂?? from ReFi DAO reflects on the distinctions between "ReFi" and the regenerative economics space more broadly. #ReFi #web3 #crypto
