A Year in ReFi: 2022, with jE, Simar & Frens
ReFi Podcast
The Refi Gratitude Collection
The Refi Gratitude Collection is a way to mint an NFT and get a second one that you can give to someone else. The idea came from Ishmael, who leads our DevOps team and runs our validators. It was also created with the Black Artists Foundation, who we work with regularly.
jE and Simar gratefully reflect on 2022, and what a year it has been!In both meeting and working in collaboration with brilliant and ambitious individuals that they have met along the way, uniting with a single purpose, to build a better future for all of nature and humankind, using the emerging tools at the intersection of climate & Web3. Helena from Spirals and Brian from LOA LABS jump on to have a catch up too!
Helena Merk CEO at Spirals
"Spirals makes it easy for any money to work towards climate impact. Rather than holding ETH, you can now hold Green ETH, and rather than holding CELO, you can hold Green CELO."

Brian Truax, CSPO at LOA LABS
"Here you are today, staring down the barrel of 2023. And while the best time to demand the best for and of yourself was years ago, the second best time is right now."
