Projects should directly support the mission of DeSci to innovate scientific research by exploring novel mechanisms of funding, conducting, and disseminating scientific research in an open, inclusive, and accessible manner.
The project description details efforts to promote sustainable living, zero-carbon mobility, and community building. It has an environmental focus with a decentralized approach, but it does not explicitly mention directly supporting scientific research, novel funding, conducting, or disseminating scientific research. Without more information on how the project directly impacts scientific research beyond promoting sustainability principles, it is difficult to determine clear alignment with the DeSci mission.
DeSci projects most commonly support this mission by building and testing necessary technological infrastructure, but projects may also be eligible if they are deploying existing DeSci infrastructure in a scientific research context or if they are educating and recruiting members of the scientific community to contribute to the mission.
The project seems to be focused on building a community and promoting a way of life aligned with sustainable practices, rather than building or deploying technological infrastructure specifically for scientific research or educating and recruiting members of the scientific community. There is no mention of direct involvement with technological infrastructure developments related to DeSci or those which would incentivize participation from the scientific community in DeSci projects.
Concrete examples of issues covered by the DeSci mission include: the data reproducibility crisis and archaic data sharing practices; misaligned incentives and poor practices in scientific publishing and peer review; financial, linguistic, and academic barriers to globally inclusive research; intellectual property, patents, and financial incentives to trade progress for profits; academic disconnect and poor science/health literacy and trust in the lay public and government representatives.
The project does not address any of the concrete examples listed, such as data reproducibility, data sharing, incentives in publishing, peer review, barriers to research, intellectual property, or science literacy. It is mainly focused on promoting a sustainable lifestyle through nomadism and community vehicles, which, while valuable, do not directly relate to the core issues highlighted by the DeSci mission.
Projects must satisfy the Gitcoin Program General Eligibility Policy in addition to the requirements described above.
There is insufficient information provided to determine if the project satisfies the Gitcoin Program General Eligibility Policy as the specific details of these policies are not stated, and any compliance or non-compliance cannot be assessed based on the project description alone.
