About

A local ReFi node, becoming a cooperative

We sit at the meeting point of Catalonia's Economia Social i Solidària and the regenerative-finance tooling emerging globally — translating between them, surfacing what's useful, refusing the rest.

We work where cooperatives, community land trusts, and time banks meet the tools of regenerative finance — anchored at Bloc4, Barcelona, and rooted in the Economia Social i Solidària tradition that runs deep across Catalonia.

The gap we work in is practical: local projects that hold real regenerative value but can't yet reach the funding, coordination, or shared knowledge that would let them do more. We build that connective infrastructure, and we insist the tooling stays in service of cooperative governance — never the other way around.

Theory of change

Three moves, one direction.

  1. 01

    ESS ↔ Web3 bridge

    Translate Web3 and ReFi tools into cooperative language and context; bring local ESS projects to global funding channels; and co-design governance that respects cooperative values while leveraging decentralized infrastructure.

  2. 02

    Regenerant Catalunya as proof

    €27K+ pooled, 10+ local projects funded, a multi-sig treasury operated by local stakeholders — a working model other bioregions can adapt.

  3. 03

    Cooperative formation pathway

    Evolving from informal coordination into a formal cooperative structure, with a target of Q3 2026.
