Introduction
📍 What is a ReFi Local Node?
A ReFi Local Node is a place-based community that serves as a living laboratory for regenerative finance in your region. ReFi Local Nodes:
- Build local regenerative economies through events, media, software, capital raising, and land projects.
- Experiment with and implement ReFi tools and systems.
- Operate with regional autonomy while maintaining alignment with ReFi DAO's global vision, mission and values.
- Share knowledge and learnings with the broader network to accelerate collective impact.
🪷 Core Principles of the Network
As you embark on this journey, remember that ReFi DAO operates on principles of:
- Decentralized Autonomy with Collaborative Alignment – You'll have the freedom to shape your Local Node according to your region's unique needs while staying connected to our global mission.
- Mutual Reciprocity – Our network thrives when value flows in both directions — Local Nodes receive support and contribute back through knowledge, visibility, capital, or co-created tools.
- Transparency and Accountability – Regular reporting and open communication ensure we all learn and grow together.
- Regenerative Leadership – We embrace cycles of growth, composting, and renewal, allowing our network to evolve naturally.
