KlimaDAO Forum

Klima never stops. Love this, and the thought of greater diversity in quality credits on chain. This may beget more scrutiny, and more attention, which may elevate conversation, which further heightens standards, and thus increases quality, and thus attracts more such projects to come onboard. Wondrous!

I initially came along here out of a mild horror that KlimaDAO was to become a BCorp. However, after reading through the dialogue at play here, I am heartened to know that we are most of us aligned in values. Decentralisation is a journey across a spectrum, and I would love to see this somewhat roadmapped.

At the same time, the ReFi space is still so young, fragile and fraught. I want for the core team to be empowered and emboldened to do the work that needs to be done—and to not burn out in the process. I want the Klima community to have their backs, and to collectively feel as though we are genuinely participating within and contributing to what is one of the most profound and vital movements in the world right now.

If forced to choose, based on how the core team have consistently showed up—and how evident it is that their expertise in this domain is paramount—I’d be in favour for whatever helps them to pioneer the flourishing of ReFi and establish KlimaDAO at the heart of it. And so, I will be voting ‘yes’ for this, even though there are a heap of caveats to which we can collectively contribute to so as to ensure the most meaningful kind of progress.

/// As a side note: I sometimes worry that the mission of KlimaDAO is diluted a little by some of the community efforts in the ReFi space as a whole. Well intended as they are, they sometimes detract from the metasystemic/paradigmatic shift that KlimaDAO is pioneering. Cute ‘lets plant trees’ and ‘lets clean up parks’ initiatives are surface-level nice—but they often simply reinforce the existing systems, putting ownership back on individuals. The real work, which I see the core team doing, is the work that creates the leveraged shifts at scale, at higher orders of complexity. Not simply planting a bunch of trees, but changing the fundamental economics of the system so that all kinds of carbon sequestration and biodiversity goals become infinitely more viable. ///

Anyway, rant over. I love the conversation at play here, and would love for us all to continue to engage in good faith. Alignment, if not always agreement.

Friends, let’s keep this civil and in good faith (as I believe the Klima team have maintained all throughout). Agree with the above; this proposal seems out of sequence, and steps need to be taken to restore a sense of trust and faith in the partnership.

I think many of us are in a bit of mourning about the partnership. Toucan’s execution of the rescue and the subsequent distancing and shade that has been cast on Klima (and allowed to persist within their forums) combined with the seemingly cold cards-to-chest poker-face business-as-usual vibe that has emerged has been a little disheartening. Still, Klima will be fine either way. My hope is that Toucan doesn’t delay too much longer in deciding who they want to be, and what they want to be known for in the ReFi space. I believe that a genuine spirit of abundance might yet somehow emerge, and that in years to come we will look back at this moment and laugh in good cheer.

MR-MR-MR Very much agree with this. I also tend to concur that the limit either too tight or potentially unnecessary.
