Projects must be at least 3 months old. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
The Advanced Bitcoin Center's green project was launched in April 2022, which exceeds the 3-month minimum age requirement.
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.
The project aims to significantly reduce energy consumption associated with Bitcoin mining, thereby reducing GHG emissions.
Grantees who received funding in previous rounds should report on project progress since GR15 or the Alpha round. We understand that some projects may have less progress given the timing of Alpha round disbursements. This will ensure accountability to supporters and also help encourage contributors by showing what you’ve been accomplishing.
There is no provided information regarding previous funding or progress reports since GR15 or the Alpha round.
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.
Without information on prior grantee status or a proposal update explicitly detailing lessons learned and funding usage, this criterion cannot be assessed.
There is a general expectation that projects are within the “realm of viability”. Even if a project may be at a very early stage, it still must seem credible to the average person with an understanding of web3 technology and climate solutions. Grantee founders must genuinely intend to build the project, and the project must not broadly be considered an impossibility.
The project proposes a technically plausible solution within the realms of blockchain and cryptocurrency that could contribute to climate solutions. However, the lack of technical documentation or GitHub repository might affect the perceived credibility for some evaluators.
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 evidence to suggest that the project has been involved in Sybil attacks or forms of malicious manipulation of the grants platform or the Gitcoin community.
