We fill the information void in Web3 regenerative finance (ReFi) by providing a combination of news, education, expert analysis, industry reports, and project evaluation to help industry stakeholders better understand the space and to get projects more exposure.

A core part of this is our comprehensive, curated ReFi company database. 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.

We are also developing a suite of educational tools to help projects expand and promote their regenerative impact. The first tool is a regenerative self-assessment survey based on a framework developed by Kate Bennett.

# The ReFi Project Database

Our 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.

## Features

All of the projects are accessible in one paged list:

![ReFi project listing](https://carboncopy.news/images/db-article-list.png)

Each project has its own dedicated profile page, including direct integration with Karma GAP milestones:

Each category in our taxonomy has its own dedicated page with aggregated data:

# Other Activities

**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.

**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. 

**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/)

**X Spaces** - We have started to host monthly X Spaces around topics relevant to the ReFi space. We've so far discussed the GG20 Climate Round with Climate Coordination Network, the Impact DePIN Report with Arkreen, Switch Electric, and Shamba Network, and the launch of our project database with Pranav Khanna. 

**Weekly ReFi recaps** - We aggregate the news, wins, content, and thoughts from the ReFi space each week into a single article so stakeholders can stay up to do with what's happening. Example: [This Week in ReFi: July 20th-26th](https://carboncopy.news/this-week-in-refi/july-20th-26th-2024/)

**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.

# Roadmap

Looking forward, we are currently working on the following:

## 1) Impact metric integration on project profile pages

At 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.

## 2) ReFi Impact Dashboard

With project data integrated, it will allow us to put together an aggregated dataset of impact across the ReFi space. An early beta version is expected in October.

## 3) Community database management

We 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.

## 4) 2025 editions of the State of ReFi and Impact DePIN reports

We aim to use this year's reports plus the data we are aggregating to produce richer, more insightful reports in 2025.

## 5) Latin American and Southeast Asian content

We are looking to expand the geographic scope of our content and offer analysis from wherever ReFi is making impact.
