Projects must be at least 3 months old. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
The project 'Silvi' has been actively updating its progress and seeking funding through Gitcoin in previous rounds, indicating that it is at least 3 months old.
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.
Silvi is focused on climate solutions through their pledge to support reforestation, connection of communities to reforestation efforts, and the development of financial and coordination tools for hyperlocal reforestation, which all contribute to 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.
The project has provided an extensive update on their progress, including the launch of its public beta and development of the app v2 since the last Gitcoin grant, which shows accountability and visible progress.
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 includes an update on their proposal with newly planned initiatives, indicating how they will use additional funds (like 25% pledged for a global reforestation movement) and includes a rough timeline for their reforestation efforts, methodology development and app improvements.
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.
Silvi presents a credible approach to reforestation, backed by a working app, established partnerships, and a clear understanding of the requirements for tree stewardship, which shows genuine intent and credibility.
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 indication or evidence provided that Silvi is involved in encouraging or enabling malicious practices against the grants platform or the Gitcoin community.
