She was contacted by the Climate & Energy Program Director of XPrize to further develop this initiative in consultation. \n\n\n                                                    \ud83e\udef5\ud83c\udffc\ud83c\udf31\n\n\nAs we go further along in this process, our aim is to get early involvement from the wider Climate/QF/Web3 ecosystem so as to foster a sense of involvement by all you Truly Amazing ReGens!! in the process and share a sense of stakeholdership as this develops. \n\n\n                                                   \ud83c\udf0e\ud83c\udf0f\ud83c\udf0d\n\n\nFor the past 2 quarters (Q1 2024 & Q2 2024) we have \nbeen 'like ducks'\ud83e\udd86\ud83e\udd86 - Treading water with 100% effort below the surface while we seemingly skim nonchalantly through the larger blockchain ecosystems.\n\nFor the past 6 months, much intention and energy has been put into building out Frontier Registry which is an adjacent project to FrontierDAO and sits squarely in #openscience , #DePin, #IP and #Data.  We even received some DARPA (defense advanced research projects agency) recognition for it back in April.

It is a versatile virtual or in-person game that is played with simple playing cards. Or it can be played as a digital game using wallets, avatars and digital representations of the playing cards (WIP). The Ikigai Game fits in as a supplemental learning module to XKind in that it supports people as they embark on a career,  personal or lifestyle Pivot. \n\nThe purpose of The Ikigai Game is for community members to have a safe place in which to build trust with and among their tribes.  We\u2019ve also integrated upskilling in AI  tooling into the game as a sort of \u2018gamified\u2019 method for upskilling with hands-on AI tools (image creators, slide presentation tools, video tools, etc.).  \n\n\n\n\n                                                  \ud83d\ude80\ud83d\udef8\ud83e\ude82\n\n**The Ikigai Game** \n\nIkigai is a Japanese word that means 'reason for being.'

Private sector funding for this innovative technology is now at $6.2B up from just over $2B (total) as of summer 2022. \n\nFrontierDAO has its own Fusion Energy WikiBot that can be accessed on the link below.
