We are developing and adapting a template for the regenerative community marketplace.\n\nSo far, we have onboarded several stakeholders, such as greenhouses, farmers, artists, and more, and we are mapping a network state of impact in Mexico. This will eventually become a full-fledged marketplace (e-commerce) for regenerative products and services. We are building and experimenting with concepts, actions, connecting channels, and regenerative literature to create a comprehensive platform for the community.\n\n**Utilizing the Celo Ecosystem:**\n\n- **NFT Minter and Marketplace:** Our evolving NFT minter and marketplace will be built on the Celo platform, leveraging its blockchain technology to ensure transparency, security, and scalability.\n[![Re-Fi-minter-00001.png](https://i.postimg.cc/nrCbkcHk/Re-Fi-minter-00001.png)](https://postimg.cc/Fk5BFvkd)\n[![Re-Fi-minter-00002.png](https://i.postimg.cc/50PWLFMy/Re-Fi-minter-00002.png)](https://postimg.cc/xJbZS88V)\n[![Re-Fi-minter-00003.png](https://i.postimg.cc/HWhCL52P/Re-Fi-minter-00003.png)](https://postimg.cc/gr87Sx1v)\n[![Re-Fi-minter-00004.png](https://i.postimg.cc/gjQ9BFjP/Re-Fi-minter-00004.png)](https://postimg.cc/Lgt0nWjy)\n\n- **Tokenomics and Framework Design:** By contributing to the state of the art in tokenomics and framework design, we aim to set new standards for regenerative finance within the Celo ecosystem.\n  - Read more here (don't forget to mint): [Mirror](https://mirror.xyz/refimexico.eth)\n  - Check out our [White Paper](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aTUaVFSvcLJ_LIiKt6X9Z7BQ7SIKJbzDLdpSoh6vdtc/edit)\n  - Explore our [Github](https://github.com/ReFiMexico/NFT-Minter)\n  - Karma: [Gap Karma](https://gap.karmahq.xyz/project/refi-mexico---building-a-regenerative-community-nft-impact-minter)\n  - Don't forget to visit our [Web page](https://refimexico.org/en)\n\n- **Stakeholder Onboarding:** We have successfully onboarded various stakeholders, including greenhouses, farmers, and artists, to our community, and they are ready to dive into the Celo ecosystem, facilitating their transition to blockchain-based solutions.
