Most of the data is simply not available. The data that is publicly available is scattered across disparate sources, both on-chain and off-chain. My building this dataset, we believe projects will be more likely to open up their own data sources.\n\n2) Building an open-source, NFT-gated ecosystem management tool\n\nAs described further down, it will start as a way for projects to own their profile pages, but we believe this feature will become a tool for ecosystem management. Someone in the DeSci ecosystem, for example, could leverage the tool to map the space and build a rich knowledge graph for stakeholders.

Each project has a dedicated profile page with associated data, such as fundraising, Karma GAP activity, blog content, news, media coverage, and impact metrics. Each category in our taxonomy also has its own profile page with aggregated data for the projects within it.\n\n2) ReFi API\n\nAll of our data is available via our API upon request. We have yet to officially announce the API as public, but it's something we plan to do.\n\nEndpoints include: ReFi project listing, project profile, token list, people listing, category profile, ReFi news feed, landscape (categories + projects), and Web3 ecological and social impact data.", "hidden": true, "question": "What features or use cases does your dApp/App present?

Things like on-chain ecological credits issued and UBI distributed.\n\nThe idea is to give ReFi projects a data foundation to stand on when pitching to investors or engaging  stakeholders. The data streams will be 100% open, so anyone can use them in their own projects.\n\nThere is still a long way to go, however. It's not as simple as tracking on-chain data and visualizing it. We expect it to take up to 6 months create a dashboard that is comprehensive enough to represent the entire ReFi space.\n\n\n2) NFT-based project profile ownership\n\nThe other thing we want to do is cede control of the ReFi project database to the community. It's becoming too difficult for our team to keep it up to date.\n\nOur thinking is to issue NFTs representing ownership in project profile pages. For a modest amount, most of which would go directly to a community fund, a project could own its profile page and the edit rights that come with it. They could edit the content themselves or delegate to someone else (perhaps through a bounty).\n\nThe community fund would be used to pay people to keep certain types of data updated - fundraising data, for example - and do general upkeep.\n\n\nThe grant funds would go a long way to helping us making CARBON Copy more community-centric.

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. We have already integrated data for 20 projects.\n\n## 2) ReFi Impact Dashboard\n\nWith project data integrated, it will allow us to put together an aggregated dataset of impact across the ReFi space. An early beta version is expected in October.\n\n## 3) Community 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. This would involve allowing projects to claim their profile page by purchasing an NFT for a modest sum.\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, "projectGithub": "carboncopyrefi", "projectTwitter": "carboncopy_refi"}, "recipient": "0x9f15d1F23922b46F75E6FF0E60823e858e593968"}}
