Projects must be at least 3 months old. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
The project description and linked social media content indicate that the project has been operational and active for more 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.
Litter Token is focused on cleanup efforts, which directly supports climate solutions by reducing pollution. It does not directly mention GHGs reduction, but litter removal contributes to better environmental management, which can be indirectly associated with GHG reductions.
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 has provided updates on the work completed since previous funding rounds, such as the number of pieces of litter picked up and the expansion of their operations to new countries.
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.
Litter Token's description includes lessons learned, new funding mechanisms, and how they intend to use additional funds, including establishing a nonprofit DAO and developing verification tech by the end of 2024.
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 concept of incentivizing litter pickup through token rewards is practical and straightforward, aligning with the realm of viability, and there exists social proof of ongoing operations.
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 provided evidence to suggest Sybil attacks or manipulations by the grantees; this requires further monitoring and due diligence to confirm.
