Between May 26th and June 9th, we hosted the ReGen ReFi Bootcamp ; a two-week virtual bootcamp designed to introduce new learners and contributors to regenerative finance, public goods, and decentralized coordination.
Organized by @borderlessdev sponsored by **@RegenCoordinate
, @CeloPublicGoods
, and @Bitsaveprotocol
**The boot camp featured 7 live sessions, 6 Twitter Spaces, and over 200 sign-ups for the ReFi/Regeneration Cipher Series. **
Each class welcomed 20–30 live attendees, while our Twitter Spaces drew between 75 to 197 unique listeners per session.
We were joined by an amazing lineup of speakers who brought real-world ReFi insight and leadership to the community:
-
KarlaGod – Founder of Bitsave Protocol Lead Partner at B<>rder/ess
-
Favour Ekeleme– Web3 career educator & strategist
-
Wasabi – ReFi researcher and contributor at Kokonut Network
-
Christwin – Founder of Metering Protocol
-
Monty – Co-founder at ReFi DAO
-
Byteonchain.xyz team – Creators of an onchain learning and attestation platform
Participants completed learning quizzes on byteonchain.xyz and signed onchain ReFi attestations on Celo, marking their learning journey and demonstrating Web3 skill growth in public.
POST BOOTCAMP ACTIVITIES
We’re now in the process of turning all recordings and Twitter Space discussions into a free short-form Intro to ReFi course, so anyone can access the material, take the quiz, and earn their onchain attestation anytime.
THANK YOU
Huge thank you to our speakers, supporting ReFi orgs, and every learner who showed up with curiosity and commitment. This bootcamp wasn’t only about education, it was about activating new regenerative builders across the Public Goods ecosystem.
