"The Planetary Ledger is an innovative concept introduced by the Regen Network and Regen Foundation, co-founded by Gregory Landua and Christian Shearer in 2017. This initiative aims to create a comprehensive, transparent system for tracking and verifying ecological data and regenerative land practices on a global scale. By leveraging blockchain technology, the Planetary Ledger seeks to harmonize human economic activities with the health of our planet's ecosystems.
Regen Network operates a public, proof-of-stake blockchain known as the Regen Ledger, developed using the Cosmos SDK. This blockchain is designed to verify claims, agreements, and data related to ecological states. It enables multiple registries to communicate and transact, producing a public ecological accounting system. Through this infrastructure, the Planetary Ledger facilitates the issuance, verification, and governance of ecological assets, such as carbon credits and biodiversity credits, promoting regenerative land stewardship.
Gregory Landua, a regenerative entrepreneur and ecologist, serves as the CEO of Regen Network. His work focuses on reshaping ecological economics and developing community-owned eco-credit registries and marketplaces. Austin Wade Smith is the Executive Director of Regen Foundation and has a background in design, ecology, and creative technology. His efforts are directed toward enhancing the legibility of our living world and empowering communities to engage in regenerative practices.
The Planetary Ledger aligns with principles of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) accounting by integrating environmental externalities into production, valuation, and measurement systems. P2P accounting emphasizes collaborative, transparent methods suitable for a peer-to-peer economy. The P2P Foundation's "P2P Accounting for Planetary Survival" report explores emerging commons-based accounting systems, such as contributory accounting in peer production communities and flow accounting within open-source collaborations. These systems aim to recognize diverse social, cultural, and ecological values, moving beyond traditional monetary metrics."
