Citizen Wallet at Regens Unite Berlin learnings

Regens Unite (https://regensunite.earth) is a two day gathering that brings together Regens, people exploring different ways to regenerate ourselves, our communities and our environment.

For this second edition of Regens Unite Berlin, we decided to introduce a community currency to pay during the event for drinks, dinner and at the market. We made some posters and a FAQ (https://docs.regensunite.earth/rgn).

Feedback

“I’ve never seen such an easy onboarding to web3”

“I was skeptical at first. I just wanted to use the paper tokens. But I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how smooth it was.”

Also the voucher is a big winner. It’s like printing a bank note on your screen that people can just grab with their default phone camera. It’s a magical experience 🪄

The Regen Lottery

We invited people to participate in the lottery to receive regenerative goods or services offered by the community (everyone was invited to offer something). To enter the lottery, you had to buy one paper token (could be used). This was a great way to get people to buy tokens or to spend their leftovers tokens.

Some numbers

• 75 account holders
• 232 transactions

From Polygonscan analytics. The transfer amount includes bank transactions. We should make a dune analytics dashboard excluding these addresses for accuracy.
