Update on the regen-economic-reboot-framework: what changed and why it matters
Before:
- The framework work was scattered across multiple standalone workstream folders (ws0_heb/, ws1_poa/, ws2_monetary/, ws3_tokenomics/, ws4_market_governance_signaling/, regen-ux-convergence-v0.4.1/) at the repo root
- There was no clear hierarchy or navigation between contracts, systems, UX, and context
- It was hard for contributors to find where spec work should go vs. where reference/discussion material lived
Now:
We reorganized the repo into a clear umbrella structure that maps directly to how the reboot work is scoped and intended to be iterated:
contracts/ ← WS0 CosmWasm contract work (HEB, credit lifecycle, MRV)
systems/ ← WS1–WS5 governance + economic workstreams
ws1-proof-of-authority/
ws2-monetary-mechanics/
ws3-tokenomics-2.0/
ws4-market-governance/
ws5-ux-convergence/
ux/ ← UX Convergence artifacts (signal loops, schemas)
forum-refs/ ← forum threads that informed the reboot
meta/ ← index/coordination layer
.github/ ← docs CI kept green during refactor
What changed functionally:
- Workstreams now have canonical folders that map to the discourse threads and reboot modules
- Contract surfaces are isolated under contracts/
- System design and economic work is under systems/
- UX context is under ux/
- Reference threads are indexed under forum-refs/
- Everything starts from meta/ with an index
Going forward:
- The umbrella framework in this repo will be less frequently updated
- Work on specific layers, lanes, and implementations (WS0 contracts, module specs, economic models, UX artifacts) will live and iterate more frequently on GitHub directly
Relevant reference threads that shaped this:
- The State of Regen 2025 (permissioned CosmWasm blueprint): The State of Regen 2025
- Hybrid Ecological Bonds (HEB) discussion: Hybrid Ecological Bonds (Regen Ledger x Band Protocol)
- Regen Network UX Convergence Workstream: Regen Network UX Convergence Workstream
This is a structure and clarity pass, not a product release — it sets the foundation for WS0 contracts and WS1–WS5 systems to be developed with less friction.
