Projects must be at least 3 months old. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
The provided information does not include when the project was officially started or established.
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 description outlines a focus on decentralized food security and regenerative agriculture, which are linked to climate solutions through carbon sequestration and thus 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.
There is no information provided regarding any previous round funding or progress reports since such funding. Without this information, an assessment cannot be made.
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 is insufficient information to determine whether the project is a returning grantee and whether they have updated their proposal accordingly.
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.
Based on the project description, the goals of DeFood seem to be within the realm of viability, and the project activities such as localized food production and digital currency to support trade seem credible with current web3 technologies and climate solution strategies.
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 that suggests the project is involved in Sybil attacks or other forms of malicious manipulation. Unless there are external allegations or evidence, the project can be considered compliant in this regard.
