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 website and Twitter account have been established for over 3 months; assuming this based on the typical submission preparation process for Gitcoin funding rounds.
- 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 Green Digital Guardians project aims to protect ecosystems, biodiversity, and carbon sinks through the sale of NFTs, which is akin to funding carbon sequestration projects. This aligns with the climate solutions focus required for 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.
The project provided a financial breakdown of previous funds received and how they were expended, and also outlined their planned activities with the remaining budget.
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.
Green Digital Guardians described their previous expenditures and their plans for the remaining budget, although it could be improved with specific lessons learned and a more detailed timeline for future activities.
- 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 concept of using NFTs for environmental protection is innovative, but within the realm of viability with current web3 technologies. Without the details of the team's expertise, the assumption is made that their plan and budget indicate a genuine intention to build the project.
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 explicit information provided regarding the facilitation or prevention of Sybil attacks or other forms of malicious manipulation. It would be prudent for the Gitcoin community to perform due diligence to verify this aspect.
