Weekly #33 Regen Tokenomics Update

Our working group explored several strategies to strengthen $REGEN’s market presence and utility:

  1. Concentrated ETH–REGEN liquidity on Base

    @brawlaphant presented a strategy to provide concentrated liquidity that:

    • Improves trading conditions for arbitrageurs

    • Enhances market stability

    • Supports token accumulation for long-term holders

  2. Community participation

    Even with small capital, members can join ETH–REGEN liquidity provision on Uniswap and learn DeFi mechanics while directly supporting $REGEN markets.

    :link: Provide liquidity here

  3. 2% liquidity bands

    Providing liquidity just below market price can:

    • Improve trade execution

    • Support trading activity

    • Allow participants to accumulate more REGEN over time

  4. Liquid staking integration

    @Gregory_Regen proposed adding liquid staking tools (e.g., @stride_zone) to retain governance rights while freeing up liquidity, boosting demand and utility.

  5. Celo ecosystem collaboration

    We’re working with @CeloPublicGoods to bring REGEN’s data and claims management capabilities to EVM—opening funding opportunities for devs and providing SDKs for $REGEN claims/certs on Ethereum.

Regen Network Tokenomics Weekly #35: Diverse Perspectives in Regenerative Systems

Summary

Our August 26th session explored controversial environmental takes, token market mechanisms, and liquidity strategies that foster emergence and innovation in regenerative finance.

Key Topics Discussed

AI Agents with Environmental Perspectives

Brandon and Christian discussed creating AI agents representing diverse environmental viewpoints. These agents could debate topics ranging from controversial takes on national parks and GMOs to conservation approaches and organic farming. The REGEN chain could provide coordination and integration for these diverse perspectives.

REGEN Token Market Mechanisms

The team explored using REGEN for retirement mechanisms and market concepts like usufruct and futarchy. These approaches could revolutionize how ecological assets are valued and traded on the network.

NGO & Market Integration Challenges

Berk highlighted difficulties getting NGOs to accept cryptocurrency. The discussion covered the importance of CEX listings and integrating REGEN with NGOs and local markets to increase utility and adoption. Additional support for these initiatives is expected after September.

REGEN Pairing Strategy

Christian led a discussion on the pros and cons of pairing $REGEN with stablecoins versus volatile assets like BTC/ETH. While technical feasibility favors USDC, the team considered both governance implications and long-term strategic planning.

Validator Re-delegation Issue

Max raised an important question about how to encourage users to redelegate their tokens when validators shut down. Currently, approximately 20M tokens are staked with jailed or inactive validators. This presents a significant challenge for network security and token utility.

“In regenerative systems, being open to diverse perspectives isn’t just about tolerance—it’s about creating the conditions where emergence and innovation can flourish.”

Join us next Tuesday for our next weekly tokenomics discussion!

How do you envision the upgraded tokenomics creating more direct demand for REGEN from ecocredit activity, and what mechanisms are being considered to link volume/value of credits to token utility?

1 Like

Hey @Olivia, thanks for the question.
The upgrade is about making sure that whenever ecocredits are issued, traded, or retired, there’s a built-in pull on $REGEN. The main levers being worked on are:

  • Service Fees: Credit transactions generate fees that get burned or recycled into REGEN, so more activity directly reduces supply or boosts demand.
  • Bonding & Collateral: $REGEN can serve as collateral in lending markets tied to ecological projects. Also originators may need to lock $REGEN to issue credits.
  • Liquidity & Access: Better cross-chain access and liquidity pools make it easier for buyers and sellers to use $REGEN as the default currency for credits.
  • Fixed Cap + Dynamic Supply proposal combines Bitcoin’s scarcity (a supply cap) with Ethereum-style adaptive mint/burn mechanics, tied to network activity, staking ratios, and even ecological metrics. This would link $REGEN’s circulating supply directly to ecocredit sales, retirements, and registry actions — giving both a strong narrative and a self-stabilizing token economy.
  • Cultural & Identity Layer: Holding $REGEN itself becomes a signal of ecological alignment, not just a utility token.

Would be thankful for your perspective on those ideas as well.

Regen Network Tokenomics Working Group - Meeting #36 Summary

Overview

In our 36th weekly meetup, the Tokenomics Working Group discussed implementing CAD-CAD simulations for the Fixed Cap / Dynamic Supply token model and identified key stakeholders needed for implementation.

Key Discussion Points

  1. Fixed Cap / Dynamic Supply Model Simulation Needs
    • We need to determine if the model can maintain net inflation ≤0 without compromising security/treasury
    • Verify if burn ≈ regrowth will occur regularly enough to sustain a scarcity narrative
    • Assess sensitivity to variables like staking ratio, liquidity, and ecosystem signals
    • Identify necessary guardrails (caps/floors/kill-switches)
  2. Implementation Questions
    • Who should lead the model design? (BlockScience, Foundation, Tokenomics WG)
    • Who will manage simulation infrastructure? (dashboard, open data repo)
    • Who will organize stakeholder workshops? (validators, ecocredit actors, liquidity providers)
    • Who will draft communications and education materials?
  3. Broader Economic Questions
    • How should $REGEN’s token design relate to ecocredit markets?
    • Which methodologies can lower costs while maintaining integrity?
    • What cooperative finance structures can channel capital to bioregional projects?
    • How do we convert speculation to committed ecological stewardship?

Next Steps

We’re seeking community members with CAD-CAD modeling expertise to help design and implement simulations.

We welcome your thoughts and contributions on these topics!

What are the main challenges you foresee in linking ecocredit value directly to the REGEN token’s economic model?

Weekly Tokenomics Meetup #37 - Summary

Overview

Our 37th weekly tokenomics meetup covered significant progress on several fronts including the SPV development, liquidity management strategies, volume enhancement ideas, and explorations into connecting ecocredit value directly to the $REGEN token’s economic model.

SPV Update

Mark provided an update on the Special Purpose Vehicle that will manage USD and $REGEN assets to support token liquidity. Key features include:

  • Staged distribution mechanisms based on price levels
  • Protections against selling pressure
  • Structures to safeguard token value

Liquidity Management Framework

We discussed our three-level approach to liquidity management:

  1. Liquidity DAO - Community-governed entity managing liquidity for network benefit, directly accountable to token holders
  2. SPV - Private investment club working to balance network benefit and investor returns
  3. Public information repository - Educational resources to help community members create beneficial liquidity strategies

Volume Enhancement Strategies

Several approaches to increase $REGEN trading volume were discussed:

  • Trading campaigns for specific chains/liquidity pools
  • Airdrop point mechanisms
  • Creating incentives for accepting $REGEN as payment for ecocredits
  • Structuring retail discounts for $REGEN users

Community Integration

The team explored ideas for increasing $REGEN utility within Regen Commons, with potential block reward allocation to user incentive pools. This could help position $REGEN as the regenerative reserve currency within the broader ecosystem.

Agent-Based Modeling

Max provided an update on progress with the ABM (Agent-Based Model), which will help simulate and quantify the economic impacts of various incentive structures before implementation.

Next Steps

  • Validate credits mechanism
  • Explore linking ecocredit value directly to the REGEN token’s economic model
  • Develop Liquidity DAO page
