Projects must be at least 3 months old. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
Based on the project description and previous Gitcoin round involvement (GG 18), the project seems to be more than 3 months old.
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 outlines objectives and mechanisms for funding initiatives directly connected with climate solutions such as clean energy, regenerative agriculture, and ecosystem conservation. All these contribute to the reduction of GHG emissions or support infrastructure for web3 climate solutions.
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.
The proposal includes a detailed report of the project's progress since GG 18, demonstrating what has been accomplished with prior funding.
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 submission includes an updated proposal detailing the use of potential additional funding and a brief outlook on future plans, although timeline specifics are not comprehensively detailed.
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 portrays a plausible approach to climate solutions, aligning with known practices in web3 and climate action. The goals, while ambitious, are theoretically attainable and align with current technological and ecological understanding.
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 within the proposal to suggest involvement in Sybil attacks or other malicious activities. However, since this evaluation is unable to actively investigate the platform or community interactions, a definitive answer cannot be given.
