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.
As the provided information does not contradict the age requirement, without specific dates of establishment, it is assumed that the project is at least 3 months old based on the detailed project description and background references.
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 clearly states its focus on creating a universal system for decentralized planetary-scale modeling, decision-making, and automation with the goal of addressing climate change and fostering a sustainable future, aligning with the criterion's examples.
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.
The project mentions building upon previous proposals, implying past funding, but the provided information does not include specific updates on progress or impact, and there is no mention of Hypercerts, making it unclear if these criteria have been met.
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 application appears to have a clear updated proposal, including the project's vision, planned milestones, and the intended use of the additional funding. However, specific lessons learned from previous work are not explicitly provided.
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, along with cited references, suggests that there is a credible effort underpinned by the technological roadmap and the multidisciplinary nature of the team's approach, indicating viability within the context of web3 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.
There is no provided evidence suggesting engagement in Sybil attacks or manipulation; however, due to the lack of specific data confirming or denying such activities, an assessment cannot be conclusively made.
