The parallels with social media giants earning billions from our data in exchange for free usage are stark. Crypto has to do better if we ever hope to bring about positive change in the world.\n\nGlo Dollar is proof that crypto can be better. It does what Tether and Circle **should** be doing with their billions: supporting public goods, grassroots initiatives, grant funding mechanisms, open source software, and ecological/social impact. There is absolutely no reason why it shouldn't be the default stablecoin for the industry. \n\nFor one, using USDGLO generates funding for projects often in short supply of capital. So much of the innovation in crypto wouldn't exist if it weren't for these grassroots funding initiatives.\n\nSecond, USDGLO is our chance to manifest the notion of programmable money. It's a term so often heard but rarely put into practice. We need better money; money that goes beyond a simple medium of exchange. By making it possible for holders to decide how reserve revenues are spent, Glo Dollar is money 2.0.\n\nThird, we haven't come up with an effective way to tackle poverty. One of the reasons is the reliance on donors - an unsustainable source of funds. We need new ways to get money into the hands of the impoverished without it feeling like a donation.

Each company has its own profile page complete with contact info, news, media coverage, content feed, token and fundraising data, and more. Each category in our taxonomy also has its own dedicated page showing aggregated data.\n\nAs part of our data efforts, we have launched a beta version of our ReFi Impact Dashboard which aims to aggregate and quantify the impact being made by projects in the space.\n\n# The ReFi Project Database\n\nOur database is a curated mapping of the Web3 regenerative finance space. We hope it will serve as a source of truth for the space and help new projects, in particular, establish an online footprint.\n\n## Features\n\nAll of the projects are accessible in one paged list:\n\n![ReFi project listing](https://carboncopy.news/images/db-article-list.png)\n\nEach project has its own dedicated profile page, including direct integration with Karma GAP milestones:\n\n![Project profile page](https://carboncopy.news/images/db-article-project.jpeg)\n\nEach category in our taxonomy has its own dedicated page with aggregated data:\n\n![Category page](https://carboncopy.news/images/db-article-category.jpg)\n\n# ReFi Impact Dashboard\n\nWe have started the aggregation and integration of the impact made by ReFi projects into a single dashboard. Metrics such as on-chain ecological credits issued, solar energy generated, and amount lent to regenerative projects can be tracked weekly.\n\n![ReFi Impact Dashboard](https://paragraph.xyz/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstorage.googleapis.com%2Fpapyrus_images%2F51c9776272e1edcec288db55b920ac1d.jpg&w=1920&q=75)\n\n# Other Activities\n\n**Industry Reports** - We released the 2024 editions of our cornerstone industry report, [The State of ReFi](https://carboncopy.news/reports/state-of-refi-2024/), in February in coordination with ReFi DAO and [The Impact DePIN Report](https://carboncopy.news/reports/impact-depin-2024/) in July in coordination with Arkreen, Switch Electric, and Shamba Network.\n\n**CARBON Copy Newsletter** - We have moved our own weekly newsletter to Paragraph. Every week, we highlight a trend or news item in ReFi that we think readers both inside and outside the space should know about. Example: [https://paragraph.xyz/@carboncopy/is-refai-the-future](https://paragraph.xyz/@carboncopy/is-refai-the-future)\n\n**Regenerative Self-Assessment** - We have launched a survey based on the research of [Kate Bennett](https://au.linkedin.com/in/ktlbennett) to help ReFi/Web3 projects become more regenerative in their organisation and impact. \n\n**Articles & Interviews** - We are slowly building a team of writers that produce rich analytical articles on ReFi topics, with a specific focus on localised impact. Example: [Exploring ReFi's Potential in Nigeria](https://carboncopy.news/features/exploring-refi-potential-nigeria/)\n\n**X Spaces** - Trinity Morphy, our staff writer, hosts a ReFi Weekly podcast every Friday where he discusses industry trends with ReFi's key opinion leaders.\n\n**Weekly ReFi recaps** - Trinity also now posts the ReFi Recap on the ReFi DAO blog every Monday. Example: [https://blog.refidao.com/refi-recap-01-13/](https://blog.refidao.com/refi-recap-01-13/)\n\n**ReFi News Feed** - We aggregate news from across the ReFi space into a single RSS feed that anyone can subscribe to or integrate into their projects. As the ReFi space grows, we see this as an important source of truth for crypto and tech media outlets.\n\n# Roadmap\n\nLooking forward, we are currently working on the following:\n\n## 1) Impact metric integration on project profile pages\n\nAt the heart of our mission is the desire to help ReFi projects demonstrate and promote their impact. To that end, we are working towards integrating impact data directly on the project profile and category profile pages. We have already integrated data for 20 projects.\n\n## 2) ReFi Impact Dashboard\n\nWe have launched the beta version and are now working on launching an updated version with more data connected and better interactivity.\n\n## 3) Community database management\n\nWe want the ReFi project database to remain a public good. As such, we are aiming for a community approach where decisions regarding the database are not made by us. This would involve allowing projects to claim their profile page by purchasing an NFT for a modest sum.\n\n## 4) 2025 editions of the State of ReFi and Impact DePIN reports\n\nWe aim to use this year's reports plus the data we are aggregating to produce richer, more insightful reports in 2025.\n\n## 5) Latin American and Southeast Asian content\n\nWe are looking to expand the geographic scope of our content and offer analysis from wherever ReFi is making impact.\n\n# Links\n\n**ReFi Project DB** - [https://carboncopy.news/projects/](https://carboncopy.news/projects/)\n\n**Impact Dashboard** - [https://carboncopy.news/dashboard/](https://carboncopy.news/dashboard/)\n\n**CARBON Copy Newsletter** - [https://paragraph.xyz/@carboncopy](https://paragraph.xyz/@carboncopy)\n\n**Regenerative Self-Assessment** - [https://carboncopy.news/regenerative-assessment/](https://carboncopy.news/regenerative-assessment/)\n\n**Discord** - [https://discord.gg/53TpqNgPC5](https://discord.gg/53TpqNgPC5)\n\n**CARBON Copy RSS Feed** - [https://carboncopy.news/feed.xml](https://carboncopy.news/feed.xml)\n\n**ReFi News RSS Feed** - [https://api.carboncopy.news/feed](https://api.carboncopy.news/feed)\n\n**LinkedIn** - [https://www.linkedin.com/company/carbon-copy-news/](https://www.linkedin.com/company/carbon-copy-news/)", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectGithub": "carboncopyrefi", "projectTwitter": "carboncopy_refi"}, "recipient": "0x687EaD20dee82DcD9f04409BdE1b134e915ab1FB"}}
