This will ensure accountability to supporters and also help encourage contributors by showing what you’ve been accomplishing.

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 'Tree Tales: Play to Plant' project seems credible and within the realm of viability, as it relates to the existing app-based gaming market, has a clear link to climate action through tree planting, and showcases a team with relevant industry experience.
