New @greenpillnet pod out today! π
In this episode of the Network Nations mini-series, host Primavera De Filippi brings together Kevin Owocki (Greenpill / Gitcoin), Austin Wade Smith(Regen Network), and Monty Merlin (ReFi DAO) to explore whether the global Regen movement is evolving into a protoβNetwork Nation.
They discuss Regen's shared identity, the rise of ecological state protocols, DAO-of-DAOs coordination, distributed governance, bioregional + digital hybrid communities, and how entanglement, values, and collective purpose shape the next civic era.
This is a foundational conversation for anyone interested in how ecological stewardship, Web3 coordination, and cultural identity can weave into a new form of civil society.
