Projects must be at least 3 months old. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
The project description does not provide a specific start date, making it difficult to determine the exact age of the project.
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.
Orbuculum, by facilitating the processing and monetization of Earth Observation data on blockchains, has the potential to contribute to climate solutions by providing insights for environmental monitoring and decision-making.
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.
The project description does not specify if the project has received previous rounds of funding or details of progress since such rounds, making it difficult to assess this criterion.
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.
There is no information given about the history of grant receipt or updates to proposals, and no outline of how further funding would be utilized or a project timeline presented.
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.
Orbuculum appears to be a viable project with a clear goal and application in the market, backed by technology that is currently credible within the web3 and climate solutions sector.
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 Orbuculum is involved in malicious activities such as Sybil attacks or other forms of manipulation within the Gitcoin community.
