## Overview
***Igniting the Nature Backed Economy*** is a regenerative finance hackathon - aiming to bring advancements to land based DAOs, community land trusts, and other forms of commons governed or built on-chain in the Ethereum ecosystem.
The hackathon will offer a chance for builders to create tools for land based DAOs and community projects leveraging technology to access, govern, and regenerate commons.
