The Road to $1

Ref; Tokenomics.

We need to walk the "Road to $1 "

Here are factors I’m sure there are many more. What would you add/subtract?

  1. Macro web 3 influence (ETH Bitcoin Cosmos Osmosis) need to Rally again. The probability this will happen again is strong.

  2. We need to demonstrate obvious utility. for example the data infrastructure to move from verified credits by 50 pages written by a PHD to real time all the time data. Real time data all the time streams coming off of an infrastructure of low cost sensors (in the water, in the air, in the ground), satellites (algorithms extracting indicators), and even autonomous vehicles with camera’s / sensors on top.

  3. Include and transcend carbon credits but do it towards performance of outcomes (carbon cycle, nitrogen cycle, water quality, air quality, heat, health outcomes).

  4. Experiment with urban GIS based bounties to increase self organizing local market teams.

  5. Pay attention and link performance to market #'s (daily trades, weekly, monthly, quarterly dashboards) buyers and sellers on wholesale and retail fronts.

  6. Restructure sales dpmt and/or strategy.

  7. Continue to add Layer 1 deals across web 3 to go Carbon Positive (ie buy credits). accumulate AUM and a portfolio mix of company holdings (ETH, Bitcoin, Osmosis Cosmos, etc) earned and expanded by nature of the collaborative projects.

  8. Consider a physical exchange and more of that UI experience. (what is your equivalent of ringing the NASDAQ bell and where do I go do that)?

  9. Go where the people are. Hyperlocal USA credits is where my focus is. Winning there and in other blockchain placed based communities where folks can go kick the tires on projects is also novel (instead of it being in the other side of the world to them).: ie Climate Action credits where I live work and play.

Thanks for pinning these items and linking this to the tokenomics WG!

Great ideas @Brian Weinberg - love #3 and #9 especially!

I keep coming back to why not make $REGEN the first true nature backed currency? I know it is for utility and governance of the chain but why not put 1-10% of every ecocredit in a “backed” Treasury? Or another version of this.

These are all great ideas and topics worth further exploring.

I’m particularly interested in #2 as it relates to leveraging data oracles for anchoring and verifying on-chain data or even automating credit issuance and the distribution of funding (e.g. parametric insurance). This is in line with some of the ideas that were originally proposed in the whitepaper (and continues to be part of the long-term vision). I would also love to see how this might relate to other projects in the ecosystem such as Digital Gaia.

I also think local community building is important (#4 and #9). There are ongoing discussions around building bioregional DAOs and bioregional registries/programs. I think more project developers and credit investors would be attracted to the network if they were able to participate on both a local/regional level as well as the larger network level (maybe doing so via their local/regional community). I think there needs to be an easier pathway for local/regional communities to organize and to be represented as such within the larger network.
