The Regenerative Currency Federation (RCF) is a collaborative network
dedicated to enabling the exchange of value among communities that are
actively engaged in regenerative economic practices. Its core purpose
is to foster the creation, interoperability, and governance of
complementary currency systems that support ecological restoration,
social resilience, and locally rooted prosperity. RCF exists to serve
communities that recognize that conventional monetary systems often
fail to reflect real-world value creation—especially value tied to
living systems, care work, and long-term stewardship.
At its heart, RCF is about coordination rather than control. It
provides a shared framework through which diverse communities—each
with their own values, currencies, and governance models—can exchange
value without being forced into a single monetary standard. By doing
so, RCF helps unlock cooperation across bioregions, sectors, and
cultures while preserving local autonomy and context-specific meaning
of value.
The scope of RCF’s activities includes the maintenance and stewardship
of open, interoperable software tools that support complementary
digital currencies. These tools may include digital wallets, swap and
exchange contracts, and other infrastructure that allows currencies
issued by different communities to interact safely and transparently.
RCF does not issue a single global currency; instead, it supports a
pluralistic ecosystem of currencies, each rooted in real regenerative
activity, while ensuring they can be exchanged under agreed-upon
principles.
In addition to technical infrastructure, RCF governs a shared exchange
platform serving participating communities. This governance function
is grounded in principles of openness and transparency: the rules,
standards, decision-making processes, and exchange mechanisms are
designed to be visible, auditable, and collectively shaped by the
communities involved. Openness ensures that no single actor captures
the system, while transparency builds trust, accountability, and long-
term resilience across the federation. Governance within RCF balances
technical rigor with social legitimacy, enabling communities to
confidently participate in cross-currency exchange.
A third pillar of RCF’s mission is knowledge. The federation actively
collects, shares, and advances understanding of complementary currency
systems, with particular emphasis on how value can be exchanged across
different currencies without erasing their distinct purposes. This
includes research into valuation models, exchange design, governance
structures, and real-world case studies. By acting as a learning
commons, RCF helps communities avoid repeating mistakes, build on
proven patterns, and continuously improve how regenerative value is
recognized and exchanged.
Ultimately, the Regenerative Currency Federation aims to make
regenerative economies more legible, liquid, and interconnected—
without compromising their integrity. It serves as both infrastructure
and institution: a bridge between local action and networked
cooperation, enabling communities to trade, collaborate, and grow
within an economy that regenerates rather than extracts.
