Projects must be at least 3 months old. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
The project description indicates that preparations for the project began about a year ago, suggesting that the project 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.
The project proposal outlines specific strategies such as regenerative agriculture, use of solar energy, water body revival, and river rejuvenation, all aimed at reducing GHG emissions which aligns with the requirement of being primarily focused on 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 description does not specify whether it has received funding in any previous rounds, such as GR15 or the Alpha round, and thus does not provide progress reports that would be applicable in such cases.
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 proposal does not indicate whether this project is a returning grantee or if there are lessons learned from previous work. It provides a rough timeline; however, it lacks a clear breakdown of how the additional funding will be specifically used to meet the project goals.
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's strategies appear to be grounded in feasible agriculture practices and sustainable energy usage. The use of established techniques such as regenerative agriculture and solar power suggest a genuine intention to build a viable project, thus meeting the viability criteria.
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 presented that suggests the Nawonmesh project has been involved in encouraging or enabling Sybil attacks or other forms of malicious manipulation of the grants platform or the Gitcoin community.
