Projects must be at least 3 months old. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
The project describes progress over several months, including work performed after Gitcoin GR15, indicating it has been active for at least 3 months.
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 is centered on planting trees with each virtual tree in a game corresponding to a real tree planted, directly relating to climate solutions and reduction of GHGs.
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 application includes summaries of progress since GR15 and the Alpha round, indicating accountability and providing an update on their achievements to date.
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 project submission includes updated proposals with outlined plans for use of funds, a rough timeline for the project's development, and a reflection on the lessons learned from previous work.
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.
Based on the description and the technical stack provided, the project appears to be within the realm of viability, utilizing known web3 technologies and aiming for realistic climate solution objectives.
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 information provided that suggests the project is involved in Sybil attacks or malicious activities, but without external verification, it's not possible to definitively score 'Yes' or 'No'.
