Since receiving funding in previous grant rounds, ReFi DAO has made significant progress on several fronts, reinforcing our commitment to leveraging Web3 for ecological regeneration. Here are some of the key updates and milestones from the past months:

**Expansion of ReFi Local Nodes**: Our network of Local Nodes has grown significantly, with new nodes established in strategic locations worldwide. These nodes have been instrumental in implementing local climate solutions, from urban reforestation in Miami to the development of a carbon-backed NFT marketplace in Tanzania. This expansion not only increases our geographic reach but also diversifies the types of climate actions we support.

**Educational Campaigns and Community Engagement**: Continuing with the ReFi DAO Blog, Podcast and Media initiatives, these platforms have been crucial in spreading knowledge about regenerative finance and its potential to address climate change, engaging a wider audience in our mission.

**Development of New Funding Rounds**: We have explored new funding mechanisms, including the introduction of hypercerts for retroactive funding of high-impact projects. This approach aims to reward projects based on verified impacts, incentivizing deeper and more effective climate actions within the ReFi community.

**Enhanced Governance and Operational Efficiency**: The ReFi DAO-ification initiative has made substantial progress, restructuring our governance to better align with our strategic goals and streamline operations. This has improved our agility and responsiveness, enabling more efficient project implementation and management.
