Projects must be at least 3 months old. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
The project's age is not specified in the provided information. Additional verification is necessary.
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 clearly focuses on climate solutions by combining technology with regenerative and carbon-absorbing approaches through DNA data storage in plants.
Grantees who received funding in previous rounds should report on project progress since GR15 or the Alpha round. We understand that some projects may have less progress given the timing of Alpha 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 the project's participation in previous funding rounds or the progress made since then.
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 provided information does not specify whether the project has received previous grants or details about any updates or lessons learned.
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 have a viable application of existing DNA data storage technology and has been featured on credible platforms, indicating a serious intent to develop and promote the concept.
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 indication that the project is engaged in or supports such malicious activities.
