Grants to impact projects

We envision adding ecological credit sales, universal basic income, and impact incentives at some point in the future. There may be others as well.

The other thing worth noting is the Activity section. It pulls in data directly from Karma GAP. Unfortunately, ReFi projects haven't been particularly good about adding updates (especially in the absence of grant rounds), so we will explore other ways to bolster the data in this table.

Other than the homepage, the change we're most excited about is dedicated pages for each category. In the previous version of the impact dashboard, we had one high-level view and no indication of performance over time or performance by project.

This new version provides both. Charts show progress since September 2024 (when we started tracking data) and the project split by a single metric. We also highlight the key metrics in the category as well as display a table showing project performance. There is still a lot of data and metrics to add, so these pages are very much a work in progress.

One thing to note is that in some cases, the Last Updated date is in the past. We've run into situations where a project stops transmitting data, so we just take the date of the last change.

We decided to take a slightly different approach to the project database. Instead of the table as before, we went with more of a landscape approach so it would be easy to see which projects were part of which categories in our taxonomy. Clicking on the project logo takes you to, as before, a dedicated project profile page, while clicking on a category title takes you do a dedicated category page.

Two other things to note:

1. There is now a dedicated news page that takes the form of a searchable feed.

2. There is a also a dedicated venture funding page showing recent deals and deals by project

Our plan is to evolve this page into a more holistic fundraising page that includes grants received by ReFi projects.

This section houses all of the content we created for the last version of CARBON Copy. The feature and learn articles are still there, as are the reports and newsletter.

One thing we are focused on is compiling a comprehensive list of resources produced by ReFi projects. Nothing like this yet exists, to our knowledge, so we hope it can ramp up the knowledge sharing within the ecosystem.

All in all, we think the new CARBON Copy is a major upgrade for the ReFi ecosystem's ability to demonstrate its impact. Our major goal now is to integrate more project data so that we can finally begin to truly understand just how much value ReFi projects are providing to the fight against climate change and social inequality.

If you have any suggestions or want your project's data integrated, we'd love to hear from you. Reach out at hello@carboncopy.news and we'll take it from there.

Thank you!

To give you a more structured sense of where we envision taking this new version of CARBON Copy, here is a peak at what we have planned:

• Trending metrics on the homepage (metrics that have had major increases over the past week or month)

• Line charts showing historical performance for individual projects, not just aggregate metrics

• AI integration, either in the form of an MCP server or agent, or both

• New views on the Projects page for things like location, chain ecosystem, and impact area

• A way to determine "last active" date for projects so that we can keep the listing updated and relevant

• As mentioned above, a more complete fundraising page

• A dedicated page for chain ecosystem impact data

And that's just the start. Much more to come once we start planning future releases!

We've recently added the following projects:

• Pure Sky is a carbon credit ratings agency DAO controlled by investors and directed through a weighted vote.

• ReFi Mediterranean is a bioregional initiative focused on catalysing ReFi and Web3 solutions across the Mediterranean.
