Projects must be at least 3 months old. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
Crowdmuse has mentioned their participation in the Gitcoin beta round a few months ago, indicating that the project has been established 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 focused on sustainability within the fashion industry, aiming to reduce waste through pre-orders and revenue sharing models, and working with sustainable suppliers. Their work with zero waste manufacturing and proof-of-impact certificates directly targets GHG reduction.
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.
Crowdmuse has reported on the progress they have made since the Gitcoin beta round, including the public launch of their marketplace, onboarding of collectors, and collaboration on sustainable fashion products.
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.
Crowdmuse has outlined their use of funds from a previous Gitcoin round and provided a detailed breakdown of how additional funds will be allocated towards sustainable material costs, development of proof of impact certificates, and a creator fund, with a focus on upcoming milestones.
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 demonstrated practical applications and progress in the fashion industry via their marketplace and partnerships with various suppliers. Their business model and use of blockchain technology for sustainability and IP authenticity in the fashion sector appear viable.
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 provided to suggest that Crowdmuse has been involved in malicious activities such as Sybil attacks. However, without external validation or monitoring reports, a definitive score cannot be given.
