Project Overview:
ReFi Atlántico is a local node of ReFi DAO located in the Colombian Caribbean, established in February 2024. Our mission is to transform traditional financial systems through Regenerative Finance (ReFi) and innovative technologies like AI and blockchain. We've achieved significant milestones, such as training over 200 community leaders and implementing pilot economic regeneration projects. We're now expanding to support decentralized science (DeSci) by integrating transparent, equitable funding and dissemination practices.

Problem Statement:
Traditional scientific funding and dissemination systems often lack transparency, equitable access, and efficient collaboration. This limits the potential for innovation and the broad dissemination of scientific knowledge.

Solution:

We will organize conferences, workshops, and hackathons to onboard scientists into the blockchain ecosystem, promoting open-source collaboration and transparency.
