The next phase is split into two parts:

1) A ReFi impact dashboard 

We're nearing the early beta launch of our attempt to visualize ReFi's impact through the aggregation of project metrics. Things like on-chain ecological credits issued and UBI distributed.

The idea is to give ReFi projects a data foundation to stand on when pitching to investors or engaging  stakeholders. The data streams will be 100% open, so anyone can use them in their own projects.

There is still a long way to go, however. It's not as simple as tracking on-chain data and visualizing it. We expect it to take up to 6 months create a dashboard that is comprehensive enough to represent the entire ReFi space.


2) NFT-based project profile ownership

The other thing we want to do is cede control of the ReFi project database to the community. It's becoming too difficult for our team to keep it up to date.

Our thinking is to issue NFTs representing ownership in project profile pages. For a modest amount, most of which would go directly to a community fund, a project could own its profile page and the edit rights that come with it. They could edit the content themselves or delegate to someone else (perhaps through a bounty).

The community fund would be used to pay people to keep certain types of data updated - fundraising data, for example - and do general upkeep.


The grant funds would go a long way to helping us making CARBON Copy more community-centric. We'd use the money mostly to complete #2. We don't have smart contract developers on the team, so we'd need to pay one to complete the necessary work.
