Notes

Brandon / questions

Ban all national parks: call them “artificial zoos” and argue for un-fenced wilderness.

GMOs as savior: claim engineered crops can “outcompete invasives” and speed regeneration.

Hunt to heal: defend trophy hunting as a driver of conservation funds.

Climate change boosts biodiversity: frame warming as “evolution’s turbocharge.”

Ditch organic farming: pro-chemical, high-efficiency farming frees land for wild spaces.

Reintroduce apex predators everywhere: force urban coexistence with wolves/lions.

Chirstian / pairing

Max / For me this brings up another bigger question of how we get people to redelegate once validators shut down. There have been a lot of validators who shut down over the last few years, and I’ve noticed not too many people re-stake. Currently we have ~20M tokens staked with Jailed or Inactive validators. This might be a post for a new thread, but curious how folks think we should navigate re-staking. cc @Max_Semenchuk @Christian_Regen https://forum.regen.network/t/cambium-validator-shutting-down/485

Liquidity DAO in 1-2 days to host 1st community spend proposal (15% emissions)

Max / 2 years – when and who to invite?

1/ Weekly #35 @regen_network Tokenomics Update: The team discussed AI agents with environmental perspectives, REGEN token market mechanisms, crypto integration challenges with NGOs, and pairing REGEN with stablecoins vs volatile assets. Exciting developments ahead! 🌱

2/ AI Agents & Environmental Perspectives: Brandon and Christian explored creating AI agents representing diverse environmental viewpoints. These agents could debate topics like GMOs, conservation approaches, and organics - using the REGEN chain for coordination and integration. #AIforRegeneration

3/ REGEN Token Market Mechanisms: Brandon proposed using REGEN for retirement mechanisms and explored market concepts like usufruct and futarchy. These approaches could revolutionize how ecological assets are valued and traded on the network. #TokenEconomics

4/ NGO & Market Integration Challenges: Berk highlighted difficulties getting NGOs to accept crypto. The team discussed importance of CEX listings and integrating REGEN with NGOs/local markets to increase utility and adoption. Help coming after September! #Adoption

5/ REGEN Pairing Strategy: Christian led discussion on pros/cons of pairing $REGEN with stablecoins vs volatile assets like BTC/ETH. Technical feasibility favors USDC, but governance implications and long-term planning must be considered. #DeFiStrategy

🌱 Regen Network Tokenomics Weekly Update #35 🌱

This week our community explored fascinating concepts at the intersection of regenerative economics, AI, and market mechanisms:

**Environmental AI Agents**: Imagine AI systems that can represent diverse environmental perspectives and debate approaches to conservation, GMOs, and organic practices, all coordinated on the REGEN chain.
**Innovative Market Mechanisms**: We discussed how REGEN tokens could enable retirement mechanisms and explored concepts like usufruct and futarchy to revolutionize ecological asset valuation.
**Bridging Traditional & Crypto Economies**: Our ongoing challenge - integrating NGOs with crypto systems. We're making progress with CEX listings.
**Strategic Liquidity Pairing**: We weighed the technical feasibility and governance implications of pairing $REGEN with stablecoins versus volatile assets.

As we continue building regenerative finance infrastructure, we're reminded that "In regenerative systems, being open to diverse perspectives isn't just about tolerance—it's about creating conditions where emergence and innovation can flourish."

Regen Network Tokenomics Weekly #35: Diverse Perspectives in Regenerative Systems

Summary

Our August 26th session explored controversial environmental takes, token market mechanisms, and liquidity strategies that foster emergence and innovation in regenerative finance.

Key Topics Discussed

AI Agents with Environmental Perspectives

Brandon and Christian discussed creating AI agents representing diverse environmental viewpoints. These agents could debate topics ranging from controversial takes on national parks and GMOs to conservation approaches and organic farming. The REGEN chain could provide coordination and integration for these diverse perspectives.

REGEN Token Market Mechanisms

The team explored using REGEN for retirement mechanisms and market concepts like usufruct and futarchy. These approaches could revolutionize how ecological assets are valued and traded on the network.

NGO & Market Integration Challenges

Berk highlighted difficulties getting NGOs to accept cryptocurrency. The discussion covered the importance of CEX listings and integrating REGEN with NGOs and local markets to increase utility and adoption. Additional support for these initiatives is expected after September.

REGEN Pairing Strategy

Christian led a discussion on the pros and cons of pairing $REGEN with stablecoins versus volatile assets like BTC/ETH. While technical feasibility favors USDC, the team considered both governance implications and long-term strategic planning.

Validator Re-delegation Issue

Max raised an important question about how to encourage users to redelegate their tokens when validators shut down. Currently, approximately 20M tokens are staked with jailed or inactive validators. This presents a significant challenge for network security and token utility.
