Regenerant Catalunya - Project Guidebook
Welcome to Regenerant Catalunya! This guidebook provides everything you need to know as a participating project in this bioregional funding round.
Welcome & Program Overview
Regenerant Catalunya is a participatory funding round dedicated to channeling resources into projects that are regenerating life in the Catalan bioregion. As a participating project, you’ll receive:
- Direct funding through a two-phase distribution model
- Capacity-building workshops in Web3 tools and impact documentation
- Hands-on mentorship from global Web3 experts
- Network connections with other regenerative projects across Catalonia
Total Program Budget: €27,380 (€11,000 local + Estimated Disbursement $18,000 global matching)
For complete program overview: See Program
Two-Phase Funding Structure
Phase 1: Baseline Allocation (November–December 2025)
Funding Range: Minimum €1,000 per project, up to €1,500 per project
Minimum Participation Requirements (required for €1,000 minimum):
- ✅ Participate in at least 2 workshops (including the documentation-focused workshop for your network)
- ✅ Prepare an activities report in Google Docs (following the program template) that can be used later for Karma GAP
- ✅ In later hands-on sessions: open a Web3 wallet on Celo and submit at least 3 past activities and 3 future plans to Karma
Impact Evaluation: Simplified impact evaluation determines allocation up to €1,500. Evaluation continues but won’t dictate distribution much since the 50% split with €1k minimum leaves limited variance for allocation differences.
Disbursement: End of December 2025
Important: Projects can receive less than €1,000 if they don’t meet minimum participation requirements.
Phase 2: Network-Level Collective Governance (January–February 2026)
Funding: €1,000 per project allocated to network-level pools:
- Miceli Social network: ~€6,000 collective pool
- La Fundició / Keras Buti network: ~€5,000 collective pool
Governance: Networks collectively govern funds using Web3 governance tools (Gardens, Safe multisigs, Sarafu Network, Cycles)
Activation: End of February 2026
Phase 1 – Step-by-Step Guide
Visual Overview: Your complete Phase 1 journey from program kickoff to fund disbursement. Each step below provides essential information and links to detailed guides. The process is intentionally split into documentation-first workshops and later hands-on Web3/Karma GAP sessions.
Timeline: November 19, 2025 (1.5 hours, online)
Program introduction workshop covering [[ReFi Barcelona]], Web3 basics, and program structure.
- Understand program structure and timeline
- Introduction to [[ReFi Barcelona]] and program partners

- Long-term vision (BioFi and Bioregional Finance Infrastructure)
- Begin wallet setup process
Timeline: Can be done independently until end of January 2026 (decoupled from documentation workshops)
Set up a Web3 wallet to receive funds securely on the Celo blockchain. [[Valora]] is recommended for its social recovery feature. **Wallet setup is decoupled from documentation workshops** — you can complete it independently until the end of January 2026. You don't need a wallet to create a Karma GAP account (you can use Google/email login).
