Projects must be at least 3 months old. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
There is no information provided regarding the inception date of the DexGrid project, therefore the age of the project cannot be determined with the data provided.
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 DexGrid project focuses on enabling Community Microgrids which directly contribute to the reduction of GHGs by promoting the use of renewable energy and the creation of resilient local energy systems, which are also a part of the core 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.
No information has been provided on whether DexGrid has received funding in previous rounds and if so, what progress has been made. Thus, it is not possible to evaluate this criteria without additional data.
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.
It is unclear from the given information whether DexGrid is a returning grantee or if their proposal has been updated to reflect the required information such as lessons learned, the use of additional funds, and a project timeline.
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 proposal for DexGrid Community Microgrids appears to be within the realm of viability based on its clear objectives and the practical steps outlined for deploying community microgrid projects, leveraging local talent, and creating economic incentives for renewable energy adoption.
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 or indications that DexGrid is involved in any malicious activities such as Sybil attacks, but without an in-depth review of their activities, this assessment cannot be conclusively determined.
