Regen Network / Regen DAO

A Web3 ecosystem organization focused on regenerative finance and ecological restoration, cited as one of the clearest proto-Network Nation examples in the podcast series. Regen DAO (previously Regen Network) has explicitly adopted the term “coordi-nation” to describe itself, recognizing the alignment with the Network Nations framework.

Regen has a strong external purpose (bringing about ecological change via Web3 technologies) while also cultivating shared cultural identity, language, and rituals among its community. It is building a global network of regenerative Web3 communities — some focused on financial mechanisms, others on coordination tooling, others on specific bioregional contexts — into a networked institution that can coordinate their efforts collectively.

Felix Beer identifies Regen as a prime example of the cross-pollination potential within the Network Nations movement: it began from collective coordination and commoning, and is slowly evolving the deeper identity and nationhood dimension that Burning Man has developed from the other direction.
