Regen Network community’s goal is to build foundational fintech infrastructure for ecological claims and data. This means serving as the ‘Layer 0’ upon which other projects and protocols may build and harness to execute their own climate-focused business models. Using a distributed ledger and modern remote sensing technology, the Regen team is creating new tools for how humanity relates to its environment.

Basics

"The Regen Network is a Proof-of-Stake blockchain focused on ecological data, assets, and agreements using the Tendermint Consensus Engine and Cosmos SDK. The Network founders were troubled with the current ecological crisis that is facing humanity. They also stated that the crisis is a result of us failing to account for the aggregate impact of our decisions that mainly focussed on efficiency, profit, and comfort but deliver severe long-term damage to the earth.

Therefore, the Regen Network is focussing its efforts on scientific research and infrastructure development that creates a transparent, open Ecological State Protocol. They are aiming to create a culture of collaboration towards building an infrastructure needed to bring earth’s needs into our collective awareness and take action."

"The Regen Network has been leading the charge in using public blockchain technology like Cosmos to address the global challenge of ecological regeneration. Ecosystems all over the world have been devastated by corrupt financial incentive mechanisms, severely compromising global sustainability. Regen is focused on the use of smart contract technology to align incentives around protecting and regenerating ecological resources; for instance, creating credits and other financial instruments to value the provision of public goods like carbon sequestration into forests or healthy soils. This is a quickly growing market that requires both transparency and multi stakeholder agreement, making public smart contract networks a perfect solution. By combining advances in ecological monitoring with the low-overhead, economic engagements made possible by smart contracts, Regen intends to build an economy around ecological regeneration and the sustainable stewardship of Planet Earth, starting with the world’s first carbon and ecosystem service credit registry on a public blockchain.

Jae, Ethan, and other early members of the Cosmos community met Gregory Landua, the Chief Regeneration Officer at Regen, back at Ethereum’s 2017 DevCon in Cancun. Gregory has extensive experience in regenerative agriculture, and discovered the immense potential of blockchain technology to incentivize regeneration. The visions of both the Regen and Cosmos teams were found to align significantly, and Regen has been a staunch Cosmos supporter and community member ever since. More recently, Gregory started the Planetary Regeneration Podcast, where he has interviewed a number of prominent Cosmos community members.

The Regen team aims to build a sustainable organization around the economic opportunities unlocked by the launch of their public platform. Much more detail about the economics can be found in their whitepaper.

Beyond the investment, the ICF has also been engaged with Regen in service agreements since late 2018 to develop modules for, and improvements to, the Cosmos-SDK. While the initial focus was geared specifically towards the ecological regeneration use case, the scope has significantly expanded over time, to the point that the Regen team is now a core contributor to the Cosmos-SDK. To wit, they have been developing substantial improvements like the on-chain upgrade module, the account sub-key system, and the replacement of Amino with Protobuf, and they’ve played a leading role in the CosmWasm project, which is bringing WASM-based smart-contracts to the Cosmos-SDK. These improvements significantly benefit both their specific application and Cosmos at large. Much of this work has been led by Regen’s CTO, Aaron Craelius, who has become deeply familiar with the Cosmos-SDK, and by their lead developer, Ethan Frey, who built the first prototypes of the Cosmos-SDK at All in Bits in 2017.

They have been running a highly active and robust testnet program with many Cosmos validators, and we’re looking forward to the launch of their network (estimated to occur later this year) and to the opportunities it will create for ecological regeneration across the globe."

"During the Token Generation Event, which happened on Apr 15, 2021, 100,000,000 REGEN were created and distributed to the various wallets and contracts as dictated by the genesis file. Since then, the only Regen Tokens that have been added to the supply are through a mechanism referred to as inflation, which is a Proof of Stake mechanism to encourage token holders to stake their tokens and participate in governance."

Utility

  • From Citadel (28-3-2022):

"REGEN is the native governance token of Regen Network. Assuming the token holders stake their tokens, the token allows one to participate in the governance of the chain, receive block rewards and receive their share of the inflation mechanism. As the native token for Regen Ledger, REGEN must be used to pay for transaction costs on-chain, commonly referred to as gas, which is required to transfer REGEN. The future utility of the token is connected to the issuance, governance, curation, auditing and exchange for eco-credits."

"The XRN token serves two key functions; to program the rules that make an ecological data commons and marketplace possible and to bring together a community of shared interest in service to strengthening and regenerating the living systems that we need to support life on earth."

Token Details

  • Started out as XRN but changed into REGEN.
