🌍 ReFi Mediterranean GG23 Round

1️⃣ About This Round

The ReFi Mediterranean round is the first localized Quadratic Funding round at bioregional scale. In partnership with Regen Coordination and following the GG22 BioFi Pathfinders Round, this innovative impact-driven funding round supports regenerative finance (ReFi) projects that have demonstrated meaningful contributions within the Mediterranean ecosystem.

This round brings together ReFi DAO and ReFi Mediterranean nodes to support a network of local projects leveraging Web3 for real-world impact and addressing local needs. We're implementing ImpactQF – a Tunable Quadratic Funding (TQF) model that combines retrospective impact evaluation with Quadratic Funding (QF).
