The Grant must be in support of or directly advance the Asian public goods ecosystem; or at least one founder identifies him/herself as Asian. We will refer to the [public goods report](https://www.gccofficial.org/explore.html#report) released by GCC last December for the definition of public goods.
All three founders identify as Asian and the project aims to advance the Asian public goods ecosystem by creating censorship-resistant decentralized storage for NFT books.
The project must clearly articulate the problem it addresses, the solution, the implementation plan, the financial plan, and demonstrate there is an excellent team or community for execution
The project has clearly articulated a problem (censorship of books), a solution (NFT books stored on decentralized networks), an implementation plan (publishing 8 NFT books in the coming 12 months), a financial plan (detailed cost and income projections), and lists an experienced team.
Project must be 3 months old and the project must demonstrate some tangible progress towards their stated goals, with a working MVP is available to the public. We will use Twitter, official website, github, and other public info to determine this. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
While the project has claimed to have published 3 NFT books in the past year, there's no public info such as a Twitter or Github to verify the timeline and MVP.
Grantees can be eliminated from consideration in the round if they are found to be encouraging or enabling Sybil attacks or other forms of malicious manipulation of the grants platform or the Gitcoin community.
There is no evidence to suggest that the project is encouraging or enabling Sybil attacks or other forms of malicious manipulation.
Projects must comply with Gitcoin core rules and [eligibility criteria](https://gov.gitcoin.co/t/gg21-community-round-eligibility-criteria/19003).
There is no indication of non-compliance with Gitcoin core rules and eligibility criteria from the provided information.
