Projects must be at least 3 months old. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
The project description and past updates indicate that it has been active for more than 3 months.
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 focus on Adaptive Agroforestry, eco credit issuance for small-scale regenerators, and dMRV integration suggest a primary focus on climate solutions. Technological developments such as RegenID and partnerships like the one with Regen Network align with web3 climate solutions infrastructure.
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.
The grant update includes a detailed report on progress since the previous funding, including community engagement in Sicily, development of the Adaptive Agroforestry Methodology, and technical advancements with RegenID.
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.
The application reflects an updated proposal, including lessons learned, such as insights from the immersive experience in Colombia and the importance of precise dMRV. The proposal offers clear indications of how additional funding will be used to further develop RegenID and the Adaptive Agroforestry Methodology.
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 undertakes credible and actionable climate solutions with feasible web3 integration, evidenced by concrete methodologies, partnerships, and previous success in climate-related hackathons and grants. Their work in advancing technological solutions also demonstrates the founder's genuine intention to build the project.
