Projects must be at least 3 months old. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
The BETTER project mentions activities and updates that span across multiple quarters, including Q1 2023 and planned initiatives for Q3 2023. Additionally, the genesis collection of NFTs was launched on 12.12.22 which indicates the project has been operational for more than three months.
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.
BETTER's proposal indicates that they are building an endowment for planet positive impact through the BETTER CLIMATE FUND, which is driven by a DAO and focuses on a suite of initiatives aimed at climate change awareness and action.
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 project has provided updates on their activities since previous Gitcoin rounds, including the completion of BETTER FILMS, partnerships, and development of their marketplace, indicating their progress since receiving past 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.
BETTER's proposal includes updates on what has been achieved so far and outlines the intended use of additional funding to support further development of the CLIMATE FUND, film production, web2+web3 store integrations, and smart contract audits, alongside a rough timeline for future projects.
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 BETTER project demonstrates a clear relationship with established entities, including a list of partners and advisors from credible organizations. Additionally, they have shown a detailed explanation of their initiatives and tangible outcomes which supports the viability and credibility of the project.
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 information provided within the context of this evaluation that suggests the BETTER project has engaged in encouraging or enabling Sybil attacks or other forms of malicious manipulation. However, without explicit monitoring data or a thorough investigation, a definitive score cannot be provided.
