On this episode of Rehash, we speak with Magenta Ceiba, Principal Systems Architect at Bloom Network, about how we can use blockchain tech to empower local communities in their grassroots ecological efforts, where Magenta sees the future of regenerative finance going, and how to best organize communities in a decentralized yet still well managed and organized way.
Bloom Network is a community network that helps people find and participate in grassroots climate and social repair wherever they live around the world. They’ve implemented various aspects of blockchain technology and web3 concepts to fund their network and their people through retroactive funding mechanisms and community tokens, and they take a balanced approach to governance that any DAO or online community can learn from.
Magenta mentions a number of projects and resources in this episode, and I’ve tried to link all of them in the show notes, so if you’re interested in learning more about the projects she mentions in this episode or are looking for reputable nonprofit organizations that support various ecological causes you care about, be sure to check out the links in the show notes or on our Mirror or Substack pages at rehash.mirror.xyz and rehashweb3.substack.com.
