Projects must be at least 3 months old. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
The project appears older than 3 months as the project milestones include activities and progress since beyond a 3-month period.
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 is focused on climate solutions, specifically reducing deforestation in Colombia, which has a direct impact on 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.
The project summarises the progress since the previous funding round, including milestones achieved, which indicates accountability and progress to supporters.
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 project has provided an update on its proposal, future steps, and a rough timeline for the upcoming quarters, as well as a long-term vision that includes the utilization of additional funding.
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's objectives seem viable and credible with clear intentions to create economic models for preserving forests, which is plausible with the use of web3 technology and climate action strategies.
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.
Without access to Gitcoin's internal monitoring and analytics data or specific evidence provided, it is not possible to accurately determine whether the project has engaged in such activities.
