For an example, see [Arkreen](https://carboncopy.news/project/arkreen/). Combined with the other data on these pages, including fundraising and Karma GAP milestones, it helps projects establish a reputation and demonstrate their track record to stakeholders. \n\nOn the promotion front, we use our platform to promote projects which are making the most impact, either through founder interviews or analytical articles.\n\n## 2) Web3 impact reporting\n\nAs we move forward with impact metrics integration, it will allow us to create a ReFi/Web3 Impact Dashboard with aggregated impact data from across the industry. We see data aggregation as a critical step to bolstering Web3's track record in the climate space. Additionally, the data allows us to enrich our analysis and open the doors to the wider climate impact space.\n\n## 3) Regenerative education\n\nWe have launched our [regenerative self-assessment](https://carboncopy.news/regenerative-assessment) survey to help Web3 projects become more regenerative in their organisation and impact. The next phase is to assemble a group of experts to verify project results and then work with projects to become more regenerative.\n\n## 4) Industry research reports\n\nFollowing up on the success of our two research reports in 2024, [The State of ReFi](https://carboncopy.news/reports/The%20State%20of%20ReFi%20Report%202024.pdf) and [Impact DePIN](https://carboncopy.news/reports/The%20Impact%20DePIN%20Report%202024.pdf), we plan to publish 2025 editions in the coming year. These reports provide an industry snapshot to stakeholders and are important context for projects when communication with the wider Web3 and climate impact spaces.\n\nUltimately, we think that these efforts will attract more attention, and subsequently more funding, to the Web3 climate impact space.

Each company has its own profile page complete with contact info, news, media coverage, content feed, token and fundraising data, and more. Each category in our taxonomy also has its own dedicated page showing aggregated data.\n\nWe are also developing a suite of educational tools to help projects expand and promote their regenerative impact. The first tool is a regenerative self-assessment survey based on a framework developed by Kate Bennett.\n\n# The ReFi Project Database\n\nOur database is a curated mapping of the Web3 regenerative finance space. We hope it will serve as a source of truth for the space and help new projects, in particular, establish an online footprint.\n\n## Features\n\nAll of the projects are accessible in one paged list:\n\n![ReFi project listing](https://carboncopy.news/images/db-article-list.png)\n\nEach project has its own dedicated profile page, including direct integration with Karma GAP milestones:\n\n![Project profile page](https://carboncopy.news/images/db-article-project.jpeg)\n\nEach category in our taxonomy has its own dedicated page with aggregated data:\n\n![Category page](https://carboncopy.news/images/db-article-category.jpg)\n\n# Other Activities\n\n**Industry Reports** - We released the 2024 editions of our cornerstone industry report, [The State of ReFi](https://carboncopy.news/reports/state-of-refi-2024/), in February in coordination with ReFi DAO and [The Impact DePIN Report](https://carboncopy.news/reports/impact-depin-2024/) in July in coordination with Arkreen, Switch Electric, and Shamba Network.\n\n**Regenerative Self-Assessment** - We have launched a survey based on the research of [Kate Bennett](https://au.linkedin.com/in/ktlbennett) to help ReFi/Web3 projects become more regenerative in their organisation and impact. \n\n**Articles & Interviews** - We are slowly building a team of writers that produce rich analytical articles on ReFi topics, with a specific focus on localised impact. Example: [Exploring ReFi's Potential in Nigeria](https://carboncopy.news/features/exploring-refi-potential-nigeria/)\n\n**X Spaces** - We have started to host monthly X Spaces around topics relevant to the ReFi space. We've so far discussed the GG20 Climate Round with Climate Coordination Network, the Impact DePIN Report with Arkreen, Switch Electric, and Shamba Network, and the launch of our project database with Pranav Khanna. \n\n**Weekly ReFi recaps** - We aggregate the news, wins, content, and thoughts from the ReFi space each week into a single article so stakeholders can stay up to do with what's happening. Example: [This Week in ReFi: July 20th-26th](https://carboncopy.news/this-week-in-refi/july-20th-26th-2024/)\n\n**ReFi News Feed** - We aggregate news from across the ReFi space into a single RSS feed that anyone can subscribe to or integrate into their projects. As the ReFi space grows, we see this as an important source of truth for crypto and tech media outlets.\n\n# Roadmap\n\nLooking forward, we are currently working on the following:\n\n## 1) Impact metric integration on project profile pages\n\nAt the heart of our mission is the desire to help ReFi projects demonstrate and promote their impact. To that end, we are working towards integrating impact data directly on the project profile and category profile pages.\n\n## 2) ReFi Dashboard\n\nWith project data integrated, it will allow us to put together an aggregated dataset of impact across the ReFi space.\n\n## 3) Nouns-style community for database management\n\nWe want the ReFi project database to remain a public good. As such, we are aiming for a community approach where decisions regarding the database are not made by us.\n\n## 4) 2025 editions of the State of ReFi and Impact DePIN reports\n\nWe aim to use this year's reports plus the data we are aggregating to produce richer, more insightful reports in 2025.\n\n## 5) Latin American and Southeast Asian content\n\nWe are looking to expand the geographic scope of our content and offer analysis from wherever ReFi is making impact.\n\n# Links\n\n**ReFi Project DB** - [https://carboncopy.news/projects/](https://carboncopy.news/projects/)\n\n**Regenerative Self-Assessment** - [https://carboncopy.news/regenerative-assessment/](https://carboncopy.news/regenerative-assessment/)\n\n**Discord** - [https://discord.gg/53TpqNgPC5](https://discord.gg/53TpqNgPC5)\n\n**CARBON Copy RSS Feed** - [https://carboncopy.news/feed.xml](https://carboncopy.news/feed.xml)\n\n**ReFi News RSS Feed** - [https://api.carboncopy.news/feed](https://api.carboncopy.news/feed)", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectTwitter": "carboncopy_refi"}, "recipient": "0x9f15d1F23922b46F75E6FF0E60823e858e593968"}}
