Projects must be at least 3 months old. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
The project description indicates it has been active since before GR17, suggesting it is older than 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.
Treegens project is focused on planting trees which is directly related to climate solutions through carbon sequestration, and the use of tokenization and blockchain technology is relevant to web3 climate solutions.
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 provides a detailed report of accomplishments, such as planting over 1.8 million trees and developing technological solutions, indicating progress since the previous funding rounds.
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.
While the project outlines what they are building and their accomplishments, there is no explicit mention of lessons learned or a detailed use case for additional funding beside continuing their current trajectory.
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 has clearly outlined a credible use of web3 technology in climate solutions, already showing tangible results like the planting of over 1.8 million trees, thus demonstrating viability.
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 of malicious manipulation provided in the information given, but without monitoring the project's community interactions it is impossible to definitively determine if they have engaged in such activities.
