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.
Based on the information provided, Silvi's web presence and project proposals indicate that it has been operational for a period exceeding three 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. Examples include: Renewable Energy, Oracles & DMRV, Supply Chain Analysis, Carbon Accounting, climate activists / collectives, Natural Systems CO2 Sequestration
Silvi's project is centered around promoting reforestation and providing tools for sustainable tree stewardship, thus contributing to CO2 sequestration and clearly aligning with the climate solutions focus.
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 description includes an update indicating progress such as the public beta launch of their app, details on reforestation partnerships, and methodology development. However, it is not clear if they have minted Hypercerts for their work.
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 project has provided detailed updates on their progress and how the additional funding will be used for launching a global reforestation movement, indicating that they have learned from previous work and have a plan for the future.
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.
With clear implementation of their app, ongoing reforestation projects, and collaborations with other organizations, the project seems within the realm of viability. The team's expertise, qualifications, and skills appear plausible for the scope of 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 information provided that indicates Silvi has been involved in Sybil attacks or other forms of malicious manipulation, but without more detailed data or an audit log, this cannot be definitively confirmed.
