In episode 154, we’re excited to welcome Avery Schwarz and Christian Chegne of Coral Tribe and ReFi Hub, a community of impact investors powering Web3 climate finance. We discuss how the tokenization of real-world assets can revolutionize climate finance, how Web3 can help coordinate communities around climate solutions, the growing Regenerative Finance movement, and much more.

--Three Key Takeaways--

• Tokenized Real World Assets (RWAs) can help make traditionally closed markets open and accessible to the everyday person. Currently less than 1% of assets are tokenized on-chain, so there is lots of room to grow to make more diverse assets available to retail investors.
• Traditionally, the world has followed a zero-sum economic system, where you can either make money or help the planet. Regenerative Finance, married with the tokenization of RWAs, makes it easier for investors to accomplish both simultaneously.
• When it comes to addressing climate change, we have the technology and solutions to do it, but what we lack is the will and community buy-in. Web3 can help address this by gamifying climate action, making climate investing easy and accessible, and leveraging new primitives like DAOs and NFTs to coordinate communities around causes.

While we may discuss specific web3 projects or cryptocurrencies on this podcast, please do not take any of this as investment advice, and please make sure to do your own research on potential investment opportunities, or any opportunity, before making an investment. We host a variety of guests on this podcast with the sole purpose of highlighting the social impact use cases of this technology. That being said, Crypto Altruism does not endorse any of these projects, and we recognize that, since this is an emerging sector, some may be operating in regulatory grey areas, and as such, we cannot confirm their legality in the jurisdictions in which they operate, especially as it pertains to decentralized finance protocols. So, before getting involved with any project, it’s important that you do your own research and confirm the legality of the project. More on the disclaimer at cryptoaltruism.org.

In episode 153, we’re excited to welcome Professor Tonya Evans, an author, law professor at Penn State specializing in Web3, sought-after consultant, and award-winning tech leader. Oh, and she even testified in front of congress about Web3 regulations. We discuss how Web3 can be key in building more equitable institutions, staying agile in challenging regulatory environments, building inclusion in Web3, and much more.

--Three Key Takeaways--

• Historically, economic institutions have not been equitable, with certain individuals and groups disproportionately extracting value at the expense of others. By creating a new rules-based economic system, it can help level the playing field by ensuring everyone plays by the same rules.
• By intentionally including diverse voices in important spaces and conversations, it can go a long way in building a more inclusive Web3. Diverse perspectives bring diverse lived experiences which provide incredible value to projects and organizations, especially in the early stages of building.
• It can be difficult to stay on top of regulatory challenges in a fast-moving sector like Web3, especially for smaller organizations that don’t have their own legal departments. Thankfully, there are many fantastic free resources online. Although these may not cover everything, the important thing is to start learning now, and to try and stay on top of developments as best as you can. The longer you wait, the harder it will be.

In episode 152, we’re excited to release a special live episode hosted on Let’s GROW Live! For this special episode, we welcome Kris Decoodt, Round Operator of Gitcoin Citizens, a retroactive grant program that rewards those who have contributed to the growth of the Gitcoin ecosystem. We discuss the evolution of Gitcoin Citizens, the value of retroactive funding, maximizing network effects in Web3, and much more.



--Three Key Takeaways--

• Retroactive funding makes it easier to evaluate the impact of individuals and projects, ensuring funds can be allocated appropriately. It helps ensure that funding goes to those who can create the most impact, not just those who can write a good proposal.
• The network effects that help grow the Gitcoin ecosystem come from the community of contributors and supporters that has been built around Gitcoin. If you grow a solid community around your project, network effects will happen naturally as these individuals align their work with the project and onboard more people to the ecosystem.
• When it comes to Gitcoin Citizens rounds, don’t be afraid to jump in and apply to be a citizen. Many contributors to the Gitcoin ecosystem may feel a sense of “imposter syndrome” - that their contributions don’t warrant participation. It’s important to take the leap and put your name forward. The worse case scenario is that you get some feedback on your application for the next round.
