Projects must be at least 3 months old. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
No specific founding date provided; therefore, it’s not possible to verify the project's age.
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 be a central hub for climate tech entrepreneurs, investors, and officials in Hong Kong to support regenerative practices and advancements in 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.
Lack of information regarding previous funding or progress reports; cannot establish if the project received past funding and the subsequent progress.
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.
Insufficient information to determine whether they are returning grantees and if the submitted proposal has been updated with lessons and future funding usage plans.
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 and team backgrounds suggest a viable project with credible founders experienced in blockchain and 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.
No evidence suggesting the project has been involved in Sybil attacks or manipulation; assuming compliance until proof of the contrary.
