Blockchain
Practical insights from 5 re:build sessions on implementing blockchain in regenerative villages.
Overview
Blockchain is a fundamental component of regenerative village development. This guide synthesizes knowledge from re:build gatherings to provide practical insights for implementing blockchain in community projects.
Benefits
It's a global, I think, which will, will help monetize farmers, carbon credits, and then turn those into carbon credits, which are very, very valuable and it can be made and mutable on the blockchain with our organization that we're building within the world of the governance of the organization through that
Key Insights
Carbon credit monetization: Blockchain systems can help monetize farmers' carbon sequestration, turning it into valuable carbon credits that can be tracked and traded on blockchain, creating transparent governance and verification.
Sustainability experience: Some practitioners have been in the sustainability arena for a long time, working on climate change and blockchain solutions.
Multiple blockchain projects: Some organizations are building on several blockchain platforms, creating diverse applications for regenerative projects.
Blockchain landscape: The blockchain landscape for regenerative projects is extensive—there are many different blockchain applications and projects, each with their own logic and justification.
Documentation and anchoring: Within blockchain technology and related spaces, we're seeing documentation and anchoring of various aspects of regenerative projects, creating permanent records and verification.
Crypto integration: Some projects are "crypto-married"—deeply integrated with cryptocurrency and blockchain technology.
Sliding scale pricing: Some projects use blockchain to enable sliding scale pricing where people decide how much they can contribute based on income and available assets. This makes projects affordable for people with fewer resources (e.g., a single mom from Poland with three kids) while allowing those with more to contribute more without getting more benefits. These systems often use tokenized access rights to manage community participation.
Have-need networks: Some practitioners call their blockchain systems "Mother Earth's first crypto" because they function as ledgers for have-need networks, connecting people who have resources with those who need them.
Examples and Case Studies
So anybody who wants to sort of look at the justification, the sort of logic and the deeper discussion of the projects that I put in here, This is not the entire landscape of re-fied game of the game of all the different blockchain
