Projects must be at least 3 months old. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
The provided information does not specify the exact date the project started, making it impossible to verify if the project meets the 3-month requirement.
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's game mechanics directly link to planting real trees, which contributes to reforestation, a process known to help with carbon sequestration and hence reducing greenhouse gases (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.
Since there is no information on whether Tree Tales received funding in previous rounds, it cannot be assessed whether they have met this criterion for reporting progress since any such 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.
There's no evidence provided that indicates if the project has received previous funding or that they have updated their proposal to reflect prior lessons learned and funding utilization plans.
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 presents a viable approach by combining gaming with tree planting initiatives, leveraging the already established market for mobile games to drive environmental action, and it does not appear to be an impossibility based on the provided description.
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 that suggests the project has been involved in Sybil attacks or malicious activities. However, without further investigation or monitoring of their activities, it cannot be conclusively determined.
