Problem & Opportunity\nProblem:\nLack of public funding and engagement in Costa Rica with web3’s potential for ecological regeneration.\nThe power of Web3 has yet to be fully realised in climate action as many of these technologies remain disconnected from communities on-the-ground. Access to funding, expertise, and technology is a major challenge - particularly in the Global South’s rural and indigenous communities who have massive potential to expand biodiversity protection and commons stewardship, but lack management, operations, resources, market access and funding to grow initiatives.\nDiscoordination efforts in the intersection of agroecology and digital collaboration, with few incentives in the country for coordinated collective action.\nNeed for cultural narratives that inspire regeneration (current media lacks compelling regenerative heroes).\nOpportunity:\nCosta Rica is a global leader in conservation & sustainability, making it ideal for a web3-powered regeneration movement.\nWeb3 tools (NFTs, DAOs, quadratic funding) can incentivize and track regenerative actions.\n\"Sayariki\" (Goku as a regenerative hero) provides a fun, culturally resonant way to engage communities.\n\n3. Solution: The Sayariki Movement\nA. Awareness & Engagement (Web3 for Bioregional Regeneration)\nWorkshops & Hackathons:\nTeach web3 tools for regenerative projects (e.g., Gitcoin-style funding, regenerative NFTs, the actuality of money). Also involving local actors with vocational inclination for web 3, to onboard local stakeholders.\nPartner with local universities & agroecology orgs (University for International Cooperation -https://uci.ac.cr/es/home-, Earth University -https://www.earth.ac.cr/-, CATIE -https://www.catie.ac.cr/en/-).\nSocial Media Campaign:\nShort videos of \"Sayariki\" (Goku) explaining how web3 helps regeneration.\nMeme contests for best regenerative actions.\nEcosystem Development\nMycelium connection with identified impact local actors such as:\nmonteverde-institute.org\nhttps://www.avercr.org/\nhttps://www.higueronescoop.org/es\nhttps://biosur.org/ \n And the worldwide ReFi ecosystem and Land Nodes\nMuda-oe.com\nReFi Brasil \nReFi Colombia\nB. Collaborative Web3 Spaces (Capacity Building)\nIntegrated Dojo:\nA digital learning hub where users:\nLearn about web3 technologies, applications, and concepts\nMeet, exchange with, and build community \nEngage with weekly or biweekly frequency\nExecution driven physical learning hubs where users:\nEngage in \"Minga\" (community work) documentation (upload photos/videos of tree planting, cleanups, etc.). Can hire/solicit extra support via associated partners.\nAccess agroecology courses (soil health, syntropic farming, biomimicry).\nRegenerative Bounties:\nSmall grants (CELO/ETH/ecoins) for completing regenerative tasks (e.g., \"Plant 100 native trees, get 50 DAI\").\n\nC. Test The \"Henkidama\" Art Project viability\nInteractive Website:\nUsers submit proof of regenerative actions (e.g., \"Minga\" documentation).\nEach submission charges the \"henkidama\" (visualized as growing on the site).\nFinale: \"Spirit Bomb Release\" (Prize Distribution)\nAfter 3 months, the \"henkidama\" is released as:\nPrize pool (in crypto) for top contributors.\nPoap badges for participants.\n\n4. Expected Impact (Aligned with Gitcoin Criteria)\nCriteria\nOur Impact\nIncrease Awareness, Engagement, Adoption of ReFi Web3 (1-5)\n5/5 – Workshops, memes, and the \"henkidama\" project will drive engagement.\nBoost Activity on Celo/Ethereum (1-5)\n4/5 – Uses Celo for micropayments, Ethereum for NFTs/SBTs.\nLocal Ecological/Social Impact (1-5)\n5/5 – Directly funds regenerative actions (tree planting, soil restoration).\nAdditional Outcomes (1-10)\n8/10 – Novel mix of pop culture, web3, and regeneration. Strong team (web3 devs + agroecologists).\nClear Milestones (1-10)\n9/10 – Quarterly goals with measurable KPIs.\n\n\n\n5.
