This week's meeting focused on Regen's strategic evolution beyond blockchain maximalism. With millions in agricultural carbon credits minted and corporate buyers like Mercedes engaging via OTC deals, the team discussed repositioning $REGEN as a store of value for the broader regenerative movement. Key topics included new smart contract capabilities with MCP AI integration, the need for reimagined tokenomics with community participation, and developing a narrative centered on movement-building rather than technology. The Gitcoin/Giveth fundraise aims to bridge Regen's semantic data framework with Ethereum intents.

Meeting Context
- The team is fundraising on Gitcoin/Giveth for a project that will bring Regen's semantic data approach to Ethereum. Please support:

- The integration will enable Ethereum users to express ecological "intents" (like offsetting wallet carbon) that can be fulfilled via Regen's infrastructure. Read more:
Extending Regen’s Semantic Framework into Ethereum Intents
Extending Regen’s Semantic Framework into Ethereum Intents: Bridging Ecological Integrity and Onchain Coordination Becca’s recent post on Framework Working Group Progress highlighted why the Framework Working Group (FWG) matters so deeply: it’s about the shared language and semantic backbone that makes ecological data interoperable, verifiable, and meaningful across systems. That foundation — our shared effort to move from isolated datasets toward an ecosystem of linked, machine-readable ecolog...

Framework Working Group: Progress & Why It Matters
Over the past year, the Framework Working Group has quietly been doing foundational technical work that will shape how Regen’s ecological and credit metadata is managed, queried, and integrated — both internally and across the broader data ecosystem. I have not been directly working on this, but am keen to surface the work, hear insights and invite the network to be tracking the evolution of our digital infrastructure and data structures. Big shout out to @corlock_RND @paul121 , Jeancarlo Barrio...

Current State of Regen
- Several million dollars worth of agricultural carbon credits have been minted on Regen Ledger
- Large corporate buyers like Mercedes are purchasing credits, but primarily through OTC (over-the-counter) transactions rather than the marketplace
- 2% of eco-credit sales go toward buying and burning $REGEN tokens, but current inflation rate exceeds the burn rate
- Corporate buyers typically don't interact directly with blockchain wallets or marketplaces
Strategic Pivot Discussion
- Greg argues Regen needs to move away from "Regen Ledger maximalism" toward broader ecosystem integration
- The vision is to position $REGEN token as a store of value for the regenerative movement beyond just eco-credits
- This would require reimagining token economics with participation from the broader community
- The challenge is balancing technical improvements with building social legitimacy and community ownership
Technical Infrastructure
- Regen now has smart contract capability and Model Context Protocol (MCP) for AI integration
- MCP allows AI tools to access Regen Ledger data and functionality
- James suggested implementing an AMM (Automated Market Maker) on Regen Ledger now that smart contracts are available
- Discussion about potentially creating better dashboards to show OTC transactions and token burns
Narrative Development
- Coy suggested framing a narrative around Regen's pioneering role in the regenerative Web3 space
- Focus should shift from technology (Regen Ledger) to purpose and movement-building
- Emphasis on "give first" mentality - giving value before asking for reciprocity
