Projects must be at least 3 months old. We use Twitter, web domain registration date, and other public info to determine this. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
The project has been confirmed to be 11 months old through the provided details, which includes the web domain and Twitter info.
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. Examples include: Renewable Energy, Oracles & DMRV, Supply Chain Analysis, Carbon Accounting, climate activists / collectives, Natural Systems’ CO2 Sequestration.
While the project supports Web3 climate impact projects and promotes regenerative finance, it does not explicitly outline direct GHG reduction or core infrastructure for Web3 climate solutions.
Grantees who received funding in a previous round(s) are required to provide a new update on their progress and impact via KarmaGAP. Each project must have a minimum of 2 milestones updated since the completion of GG20 AND include a summary of the project’s climate impact over the past year. Projects can also include the challenges they have faced. This will ensure accountability to supporters and provide context for your work and accomplishments.
The project has provided a KarmaGAP link and detailed their milestones and impacts over the past year.
Even if the project was accepted into previous rounds, grantees will be eliminated from participation in the GG21QF Round for the following reasons: -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 -If they submit more than one project into the round -If they are primarily a token launch or NFT project to raise money for a liquidity pool -If the project does not clearly demonstrate a primary focus on being a climate solution with clear and proven climate impacts
There is no information provided indicating malicious behavior, multiple project submissions, or token/NFT focus. However, the project's direct climate impact is not clearly demonstrated.
All returning grantees are required to include the following: -An update to their proposal including any lessons learned from previous work -A description of how they plan to use the additional funding from the upcoming round and how additional funding will help the project meet its goals -A rough timeline for the project overall -A short bio for each team member and their qualifications
The project has provided an update, described future funding utilization, included a rough timeline, and provided short bios for each team member.
There is a general expectation that projects are within the “realm of viability”. Even if a project is very early, it must still seem credible to the average person with an understanding of web3 technology and climate solutions. Including information about the team’s expertise, qualifications and skills will help us review your grant. Grantee founders must genuinely intend to build the project, and the project must not broadly be considered an impossibility.
The project details and team qualifications provided indicate a viable and credible project within the Web3 climate solutions space.
Projects must comply with Gitcoin core rules and eligibility.
The project confirms that it abides by the Program General Eligibility Policy and the GG21 Climate Solution Round Eligibility Criteria.
