Projects must be at least 3 months old. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
The project's description does not include the date of its inception, so there is insufficient information to determine whether it meets the 3-month age requirement.
The Grant must be primarily focused on climate solutions (the group may do other work but the grant proposal should be directly related to climate solutions). The proposal should explicitly outline how this project will help reduce GHGs or is an important core infrastructure for web3 climate solutions.
The project's description clearly outlines that its aim is to address the global carbon emissions, waste generation, and water consumption within the built environment industry, which aligns with climate solutions. The use of decentralized, digital protocols for validating building performance falls in line with web3 infrastructure development.
Grantees who received funding in previous rounds should report on project progress since GR15 or the Alpha & Beta rounds. We understand that some projects may have less progress given the timing of Alpha & Beta round disbursements. This will ensure accountability to supporters and also help encourage contributors by showing what you’ve been accomplishing.
There is no information provided regarding previous funding rounds or progress reports since then, therefore it's unclear whether this requirement is met.
All returning grantees are expected to update their proposal, in addition to project updates the proposal should include lessons learned from previous work and how they will use the additional funding from the upcoming round. The updated proposal should indicate how additional funding will help the project meet its goals, and include a rough timeline for the project overall.
It is not specified whether the project is a returning grantee or if this is their first application for funding. Additionally, information on lessons learned and a detailed plan of use for additional funding is not provided in the detail required.
There is a general expectation that projects are within the “realm of viability”. Even if a project may be at a very early stage, it still must seem credible to the average person with an understanding of web3 technology and climate solutions. Grantee founders must genuinely intend to build the project, and the project must not broadly be considered an impossibility.
The project appears to operate within the realm of viability, providing a plausible approach to utilizing web3 technologies for climate solutions in the built environment. The project description suggests a clear understanding and intentional groundwork to address a significant domain within climate impact, thus not categorizing it as an impossibility.
