liquidity, routing, stablecoins on regen ledger, ecocredit retirement demand is the toughest challenge
2 Likes
we want the upgraded tokenomics to make every $1 of ecocredit activity create predictable buy/lock pressure for REGEN, without adding friction for buyers. That means wiring the lifecycle (issue → list → buy/retire → govern) to automatic REGEN sinks and locks.

Weekly Tokenomics Meetup #40 - Climate Week & New Strategies Updates
Summary
The community discussed recent events attended by Will and Gregory, explored ABM simulation developments, reviewed Gitcoin Round 24 strategy, and debated innovative approaches to liquidity and impact through liquid staking tokens and NFT strategies. The meeting highlighted growing interest in bioregional organizing and creating financial mechanisms that directly support ecological regeneration.
Key Topics Covered
Recent Events Update
Will and Gregory attended multiple significant events:
- Earth Charter 25th Anniversary - A landmark international environmental treaty
- R3.0 Confluence at Mashantucket Pequot Museum - Part of a global network focused on bioregional organizing
- BioFi at Chantigarh - A multi-day retreat with key figures in the regenerative economics space
- Climate Week in New York - Hosted events for donor advised funds and community gatherings
Gregory noted that despite political distractions, Climate Week remained vibrant with practical, focused conversations. Many region-related people were present including teams from RefiDAO, Silvi, and Gaia AI, with presentations at the UN.
Key Takeaways from Events
- Industry Consolidation: Clear need for better coordination among biofi and regenerative economics actors
- Demand for Investable Index: Strong interest in creating a single investable index/“unit of account” for different bioregions and eco credits
- Donor Advised Fund Opportunity: Potential to create “impact agents” wrapped as DAFs that function as tax-exempt entities for eco-credit retirement
- Simulation Need: Critical importance of cadCAD simulations of the regenerative economy
Agent-Based Modeling Progress
Max demonstrated using Replit to run CAD-CAD library simulations. The platform allows parameter adjustments and visualizations of economic models. Next steps include formalizing Regen’s specific model and collecting necessary historical data.

Weekly Tokenomics Meeting #41: New Economic Model Insights
Dear Regen Network community,
We wanted to share key takeaways from our latest tokenomics meeting held on October 7, 2025, where we reviewed a newly developed economic model for the REGEN token.
New Economic Model Presentation
Max Semenchuk presented a cadCAD-based model (available at https://model.regentokenomics.org/) that simulates token behavior over time. The model can be useful for researching:
- Balance between token minting (inflation) and burning (through demand) is critical
- Higher issuance rates consistently lead to lower token prices
- Sufficient demand growth for price stabilization
Token Metrics & Validator Status
Only 51% of tokens are currently bonded (a lot of tokens are delegated to jailed validators – delegators need to redelegate in order to get rewards)
Community & Partnership Opportunities
- Potential collaboration with Jimmy Cohen and TreeGen community
- Jimmy Cohen plans to pair TGN with $REGEN, potentially creating new liquidity
- Exploring how to use $REGEN on the cellular blockchain in Brazil
- Discussion about enhancing token tradability (not just investability)
We welcome your thoughts and feedback on these developments. The full meeting recording and transcript are available at: $Regen Economic Model Review

Weekly Tokenomics Community Call #42 - October 14, 2025
Hello Regen community,
This week’s tokenomics call focused on advancing our liquidity infrastructure and exploring strategic directions for Regen’s token economics. Here’s a comprehensive summary:
SPV Fundraising Update
Mark is progressing with the SPV fundraising initiative, sending out subscription agreements and wire instructions to investors. We’re accepting both USD and Regen tokens. The roadmap includes:
- Deploying on Base through CoinStore
- Hiring a market maker to improve liquidity
- Engaging a KOL marketing firm to enhance market presence
Liquidity Pool Development
Brandon successfully deployed a new Osmosis liquidity pool pairing USDC with Regen, utilizing an aggressive 2.5% fee structure (the highest allowed on Osmosis). This strategic positioning enables us to acquire Regen at discounted prices from sellers while generating APR. Brandon is also developing gelato automation to schedule transactions based on time intervals, blocks, or on-chain events.
Token Economics Strategy Discussion
We engaged in a deep philosophical discussion about Regen’s core identity and value proposition:
- Is Regen a store of value, a currency, or an index of ecological value?
- How do we balance minting with burning/demand mechanisms to stabilize price?
- Brandon’s preferred narrative: Regen as an ecologically and socially regenerative store of value that increases over time
We also explored transforming Regen Commons into a consortium model where new entrants acquire tokens rather than receive distributions, potentially through controlled dilution rounds.
CAD-CAD Token Economics Model
Max presented updates on the token economics simulation model, which currently includes:
- Three holder types: long-term holders (70%), validators (10%), and random traders (20%)
- Key parameters: monthly inflation rate (~1%), circulating supply dynamics, demand/burn mechanisms
- Visualizations of price, holdings, and liquidity changes over time
- Focus on balancing mint and burn rates for price stability or growth
Gitcoin Grant Applications
Multiple participants are navigating Gitcoin grant applications for public goods funding. Regen is seeking support for:
- Ethereum interoperability work
- Shared schema development
- Bioregional finance and reforestation programs

Tokenomics Meeting #43 - Strategic Evolution & Ethereum Integration
Overview
This week’s tokenomics meeting centered on Regen Network’s strategic evolution. With significant traction in agricultural carbon credits and corporate engagement, we discussed repositioning $REGEN as a store of value for the broader regenerative movement.
Current Metrics & Challenges
Regen Ledger has successfully minted several million dollars worth of agricultural carbon credits, attracting major corporate buyers including Mercedes. However, these transactions primarily occur OTC (over-the-counter) rather than through the marketplace, as corporate buyers typically don’t interact directly with blockchain wallets.
While 2% of eco-credit sales contribute to buying and burning $REGEN tokens, our current inflation rate exceeds the burn rate—a key challenge that requires addressing through reimagined tokenomics.
Strategic Pivot: From Ledger Maximalism to Movement Building
Greg presented a compelling case for moving away from “Regen Ledger maximalism” toward broader ecosystem integration. The vision is to position $REGEN as a store of value for the entire regenerative movement, not just eco-credits on Regen Ledger.
This strategic shift requires:
- Community participation in redesigning token economics
- Balancing technical improvements with social legitimacy
- Building community ownership and narrative
- Adopting a “give first” mentality—providing value before asking for reciprocity
Technical Infrastructure Developments
Significant technical capabilities are now available:
- Smart contract functionality is live on Regen Ledger
- Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration enables AI tools to access Regen Ledger data and functionality
- AMM (Automated Market Maker) implementation is now possible
- Improved dashboards for OTC transaction visibility under consideration
Ethereum Integration Initiative
We’re currently fundraising on Gitcoin/Giveth for a project that bridges Regen’s semantic data framework with Ethereum intents. This integration will enable Ethereum users to express ecological “intents” (such as offsetting their wallet’s carbon footprint) that can be fulfilled via Regen’s infrastructure.
This represents a significant step toward broader ecosystem integration and positions Regen as infrastructure for the entire Web3 regenerative finance space.

Weekly Tokenomics Update #44: SPV Progress, Exchange Listings, and Community-Driven Market Strategies
Hello Regen community,
This week’s tokenomics meeting covered significant developments across multiple areas of the ecosystem. Here’s a comprehensive summary of what we discussed:
SPV Investment & Market Maker Deployment
We’ve reached a major milestone with the SPV investment moving forward. Market makers are being deployed across Base, Osmosis, and Cello DEXs, which will significantly improve $REGEN liquidity and accessibility across multiple chains. This expansion strengthens our cross-chain presence and creates more opportunities for community participation.
CoinStore Listing & Liquidity Strategies
Mark provided updates on the upcoming CoinStore listing and shared detailed strategies for improving liquidity structuring. The team discussed approaches to optimize market depth and reduce slippage across various trading pairs.
Innovative Approaches to Ecocredit Sales
The team explored several promising strategies for increasing ecocredit sales:
- Project Developer Networks: Project developers are our closest partners and have the strongest relationships with stakeholders interested in their specific projects. By empowering developers to reach out to their networks of supporters and interested parties, we can drive more meaningful sales.
- Internal Markets for Non-Traditional Credits: We discussed creating markets for credits that don’t meet international standards but still represent valuable ecological work. This opens opportunities for smaller communities and projects to participate in the ecosystem.
- Community-Driven Market Building: The focus is on grassroots engagement through lower-barrier verification methods. By including more projects and communities, we can create network effects where communities support each other’s tokens, building internal capital flow that benefits the entire ecosystem.
Building Community Engagement
A key theme throughout the discussion was the importance of incentivizing stakeholder participation. We explored ways to reduce barriers to entry while maintaining quality standards, and discussed how to better leverage the relationships that project developers already have with their supporters.
Key Insights
One particularly valuable insight: the 1-2% fees generated from token swaps and trades add up significantly as the network grows. The larger the network, the more internal capital movement we have, which generates more fees and creates a more sustainable economic model. This is why including smaller communities in the mix is crucial for long-term growth.
Looking Forward
These developments represent important progress in making Regen Network more accessible, liquid, and community-driven. As we continue to expand across chains and lower barriers to participation, we’re building a more robust and inclusive regenerative economy.

Weekly #45: Evolving Regen’s Tokenomics - Staking on Marketplace Growth
Introduction
This week’s tokenomics session explored a reimagined approach to Regen Network’s incentive structure. The core idea: shift from traditional Proof-of-Stake rewards to a system that directly incentivizes marketplace activity—specifically, on-chain eco-credit purchases and retirements.
This is not a formal proposal, but rather an idea meant to stimulate discussion and creative thinking within our community.
The Challenge
Regen Network Development has built strong infrastructure for the supply side—originating and listing high-integrity eco-credits. However, for the network to reach its full potential, we need to focus equally on driving demand: eco-credit sales and retirements.
Key Concepts
1. Rethinking Network Incentives
Currently, PoS inflationary rewards flow primarily to validators maintaining consensus. While this ensures security, it doesn’t directly reward the ecosystem’s most valuable activities: buying, selling, and retiring eco-credits.
What if emissions instead flowed to addresses whose on-chain actions demonstrably drive regenerative impact?
2. Community Pool as Emissions Source
To implement this without redesigning the blockchain, all new REGEN emissions could be directed to the community pool. The pool would then distribute rewards to addresses earning on-chain points for verifiable contributions—primarily eco-credit purchases and retirements.
These points would be generated directly from transaction data on Regen Ledger, ensuring transparency, fairness, and programmatic auditability.
3. Buyer and Broker Attribution
Every eco-credit purchase or retirement would automatically generate two sets of points:
Buyer Points: Earned by addresses that purchase or retire eco-credits, representing direct regenerative contribution
Broker/Platform Points: Attributed to the platform or broker that facilitated the sale (specified in transaction metadata)
This structure recognizes both sides of the regenerative marketplace, with all attribution happening natively on-chain.
4. Linking Eco-Credit Activity to Token Burns
Every eco-credit retirement could trigger a REGEN token burn, directly linking ecological outcomes to token scarcity. This creates a regenerative flywheel:
Sales → Retirements → Burns → Reduced Supply → Increased Scarcity → Greater Demand → More Sales
The act of regeneration strengthens both planetary and financial health.

Looking forward to your thoughts and feedback!

Weekly Tokenomics Meetup #46 - November 11, 2025
Summary
This week’s tokenomics discussion delivered substantial progress on flywheel economics, cross-chain collaboration, and narrative development. The team is converging on a unified framework that demonstrates web3 climate action through competent protocol engineering and financial responsibility.
Key Discussion Points
1. REGEN Token Economics Foundation
The team reviewed the original REGEN technical token economics paper, examining proof-of-stake foundations and next steps for protocol evolution. This technical specification work provides the basis for future tokenomics design.
2. Flywheel Model Convergence
A major focus was developing a unified base flywheel model with clear, defensible components and supporting data. The proposed framework includes:
- REGEN Registry integration
- Eco bridge functionality
- DEXs on Base (Arrow, Hydrax)
- Klima protocol collaboration
The goal is to create a coherent narrative with proof of traction—demonstrating how each component supports the overall flywheel mechanics.
3. Cross-Chain DAO Innovation
The team explored an innovative operational framework: how a DAO can own stake in two protocols and serve both ecosystems. This represents serious protocol engineering for liquidity management and cross-chain collaboration, going beyond typical web3 projects.
4. Building the Narrative
The overarching vision is to show that web3 climate action isn’t just noise—it’s competent collaboration with:
- Financial responsibility
- Serious origination processes
- Liquidity management supporting SPV, Liquidity DAO, REGEN value, and climate impact
Next Steps
The team will continue refining the base flywheel model, establishing data points to validate the mechanics, and developing the cohesive narrative that ties everything together.
