Projects must be at least 3 months old. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
Though specific founding dates are not provided, the project appears to have been in operation since at least the previous Grant Round (GR15 or the Alpha round) as indicated by the provided grant and budget information.
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's mission directly focuses on the preservation of vital land ecosystems through the creative use of NFTs, which supports climate solution efforts by maintaining carbon sinks and biodiversity hotspots.
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 a breakdown of how the previous round's funding was allocated, which activities were conducted, as well as a summary of planned activities with the remaining budget, indicating progress and transparency.
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 provided information includes budget expenditure and planned activities, but it lacks explicit details on lessons learned from previous work. There is no clear description of how additional funding will be used or a rough timeline for the project.
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 'Green Digital Guardians' project appears viable as it leverages existing technologies like blockchain and NFTs for environmental protection, which is a credible application in both the web3 and climate solution spaces.
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 evidence provided of the project encouraging or enabling Sybil attacks or other forms of malicious manipulation of the grants platform or the Gitcoin community.
