Projects must be at least 3 months old. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
Based on the project description and established presence, Cosmos for Humanity | C4H has been involved in partnerships and initiatives that suggest it has been operational for over 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.
While Cosmos for Humanity | C4H's mission of promoting sustainable space activities and preserving the orbital environment is related to environmental sustainability, it is not explicitly clear how it will reduce GHGs or contribute to core infrastructure for web3 climate solutions. It seems to have an indirect impact on climate through the promotion of space sustainability.
Grantees who received funding in previous rounds should report on project progress since GR15 or the Alpha & Beta rounds. We understand that some projects may have less progress given the timing of Alpha & Beta round disbursements. This will ensure accountability to supporters and also help encourage contributors by showing what you’ve been accomplishing.
The project provides updates since the Beta Round, including participation in consultations and the development of educational content, but it does not specify if it received funding in previous rounds or the exact nature of the progress made with that funding.
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 outlines the next steps and how additional funding will be used, such as funding the development of a technical stack and creating educational content. Lessons learned are not explicitly mentioned, but updates and a timeline for future projects are provided.
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.
Cosmos for Humanity | C4H appears to be a credible initiative with clear objectives and a partnership with a national space agency, indicating viability and serious commitment by its founders. The use of blockchain for the traceability and transparency of space sustainability efforts is within current technological capabilities.
