Projects must be at least 3 months old. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
The provided information does not include the project's start date, making it unclear whether it meets the 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 Archimedes' Lever project seems to be focused on web3 education and onboarding rather than directly targeting climate solutions or GHG reduction.
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.
It's not specified whether Archimedes' Lever has received funding in previous rounds, and there is no available progress report that corresponds to this requirement.
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 knowing if Archimedes' Lever is a returning grantee or the details of their proposal updates and funding usage, it's not possible to determine this criteria.
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 Archimedes' Lever project appears to have a clear vision and educational focus on web3 which seems to be within the realm of viability for the web3 community, despite not being directly aimed at 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 evidence provided that suggests Archimedes' Lever is involved in Sybil attacks or malicious activities against the grants platform or the Gitcoin community.
