The 4th week of our exploration saw some important news. Some of the organizations collaborating for the Regen VIllage were moving slow into renting the houses on Airbnb. AgroforestDAO did rent one, but Netx State was supposed to rent another one and after taking more than one 2 weeks to decide it they finally announced that they were not going to collaborate in the organization of the Buenos Aires Village due to too much demand to co-organize Edge City Patagonia.
So for a while AgroforestDAO was the only organization with skin in the game for this initiative. Only to friday Ceci Sakura from Unlock Protocol announced that would also rent a house and that wanted to be part of the Regen Village experiment. She is a very organized and web3 savvy regen from Bolivia and a great partner for the organization of the village.
I also had a call with Jango from Juicebox that confirmed that he would support us by offering a Revnet bootcamp (two meetups to present and experiment together the Revnet protocol). Little by little our Village gathers valuable uses for its token during the week, such as accessing:
-
Locally sourced Breakfast ingredients
-
Wine and cheese night
-
Products from the Community Bazaar
-
Revnet Bootcamp
-
Ecological trail in Buenos Aires ending at a community garden and restaurant
This monday we had our office-hours call with the presence of Ceci, Afo, Diogo and Daniel, a Buenos Aires citizen offering his local connections and social network for the Village. This call was not recorded, but together we made some important decisions:
-
To use Unlock for sale of Memberships: We started by creating an Early Bird edition of 10 NFTs to be sold for sponsors at the cost of 100 USDC on Celo. The goal is to raise 1000 USDC that will be the base of our common treasure and used to buy the local food and back our community currency with which we will buy the second hand goods that conference attendees will sell to our Bazaar.
-
We created our Multisig with Ceci, Diogo, Afo, Jango and Max (web3 native argentinian from Fork Forest who is sourcing our food)
-
Afo suggested to fundraise with VRBS to contact local artists and make a deal for the art going to our NFTs. We do have many NFTs to be created, specially for event tickets, so we felt that there’s room for such initiative. However, there is urgency to create the NFTs for the sublocation of Airbnb rooms and for the Early Birds fundraise. We agreed on finding a solution for this by the friday call.
-
Ceci created a Dework page to coordinate the tasks
-
To create a landing page to host all the information regarding the Regen Village
So far, with very little announcements we have a list of 30+ people that answered our form and are interested in participating in the Regen Village, and we are aware that we need to provide them with info about our rooms and activities as soon as possible.
