2025 was a year of rebuilding market infrastructure, clarifying narrative, and connecting token utility to ecological outcomes. Across Q1-Q3, we shipped multichain access, advanced a long‑term liquidity strategy, and strengthened community cadence. In Q4, we focused on modeling, listings readiness, and aligning emissions with real sales and retirements. The working group maintained an open program of weekly calls, produced research and public posts, and coordinated with ecosystem partners to turn token mechanics into measurable climate impact. Our modeling program and strategy research synthesized findings into practical changes to liquidity, onboarding, and tooling, informing the proposals and upgrades summarized below.
- Three pillars guided our work: Investors/Buyers (reward ecological regeneration), Eco Projects (data‑driven verification), Network Stewards (open‑source development).
- Major 2025 milestones included cross‑chain access, Ledger upgrade progress, and Liquidity DAO funding.
- Priorities heading into 2026: predictable liquidity operations, buyer onboarding tied to retires and burns, and a public pipeline connecting research, modeling, and marketplace activity.
Year at a Glance
- Q1: Initiated cross‑chain capabilities on Base; strong event presence; identified needs in dev capacity and documentation.
- Q2: Multichain deployment and liquidity pools; three research papers; Ledger v6.0 work; Commons and Funding launched; consistent community calls.
- Q3: Consolidated post‑upgrade momentum; advanced Liquidity DAO design; narrative work linking $REGEN utility to ecological outcomes.
- Q4: Weekly meetups on modeling, listings, liquidity choices (Hydrex vs Aerodrome), alignment of emissions to sales, and exchange readiness. Insights from What We Learned Modeling a Regen Token Economy and Regen Strategies Research directly shaped the emissions policy, buyer journey, and listings checklist.
Investors/Buyers: Reward Ecological Regeneration
- Liquidity and emissions strategy iterations toward a long‑term Liquidity DAO, with emphasis on concentrated liquidity and volume growth. Adopted a restructuring direction to route 15% of emissions to the community pool to strengthen public‑goods liquidity and grants Restructuring $REGEN Liquidity - 15% emissions.
- Listings and market access preparation, CMC supply data fix, and analytics for listing readiness. Modeling‑derived stress tests and scenarios informed exchange‑readiness thresholds and market‑making parameters.
- Positioning $REGEN as an eco‑currency tied to verifiable regenerative activity; frameworks for systematic eco‑credit purchasing. The Regen Tokenomics AI Assistant was introduced to help buyers simulate purchase‑to‑retire pathways and understand fee, slippage, and burn impacts.
Eco Projects: Data‑Driven Verification
- Regen Ledger upgrade v6.0 progress (CosmWasm, burn mechanics) and improved testing discipline.
- Regen Commons and Regen Funding launched to coordinate projects and capital.
- Marketplace and Eco.Bridge improvements; exploration of fractional ecocredits and payment rails for better UX and conversion. Improved onboarding processes for projects and verifiers clarified the path from dataset publication to first sale and retirement, reducing time‑to‑listing and support load.
Network Stewards: Open‑Source Development
- Maintained standing weekly program with 46 documented sessions in 2025; consistent calls throughout the year.
- Public pipeline and communications improvements, including Notebook‑assisted drafting and a refreshed forum. Research outputs, notably Regen Strategies Research, were integrated into decision memos and dashboards.
- Community growth and onboarding improvements; ethics guidelines published; the Tokenomics AI Assistant documented as an open, iteratively trained tool to support contributor decision‑making.
