Episode 48 - DeFi, ReFi, and DeSci
In this episode, we highlight three movements within web3 that have experienced incredible growth in recent years: Decentralized Finance (DeFi), Regenerative Finance (ReFi), and Decentralized Science (DeSci).
Reflecting back on the start of 2022, it is clear that the broader movement of decentralization has gained incredible momentum as we’ve seen the launch of dozens, if not hundreds, of social impact DAOs and NFT projects, and the exponential growth of decentralized philanthropy. Decentralization is a core aspect of DeFi, ReFi, and DeSci as well – in that they seek to use decentralization, and the power of community, to address complex challenges that legacy systems simply haven’t been able to address.
In this episode we give a brief introduction to each of these movements, and some of the projects and organizations that are leading the way.
Projects discussed in the Episode:
Etherisc
AgUnity
AgriUT
KlimaDAO
ClimateDAO
EarthFund
VitaDAO
SCINET
