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 provided information does not include specific data regarding the age of the project such as the Twitter creation date or web domain registration date.
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
The project, Closer, aims to empower regenerative communities, which are critical in sustainable living and land management, supportive of CO2 sequestration, and fostering sustainability. This aligns with the climate solutions focus of the grant.
Grantees who received funding in a previous round(s) **must provide a new update on their progress and impact.** You can also include the challenges you've faced. This will ensure accountability to supporters and also help encourage contributors by showing what you’ve been accomplishing. We encourage grantees to mint Hypercerts for the work and the impact they have accomplished. Priority review will be given to grantees who have minted a Hypercert.
There is no provided information regarding previous funding rounds or if the project has provided updates on progress and impact, nor is there mention of Hypercerts being minted.
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 no information provided to confirm if Closer is a returning grantee and if they have updated their proposal to reflect lessons learned, plans for additional funding, and a project timeline.
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 description indicates a clear intention to address sustainability within communities through regenerative practices. While no specific details on the team’s expertise are provided, the project does not broadly appear to be an impossibility and seems within the realm of viability given the current understanding of web3 technology and climate solutions.
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.
Without thorough investigation or evidence, it is not possible to determine if the project 'Closer' has been involved in any form of malicious manipulation of the grants platform or the Gitcoin community.
