dMeter
dMeter works on digitizing an onboarding methodology using Hedera's Managed Guardian Service, allowing impact initiatives to validate their ecological benefits on-chain. The system uses Hypercerts and the Ecological Benefits Framework to holistically measure air, water, soil, biodiversity, equity, and carbon impacts. It's part of a broader dMRV ecosystem aimed at transparent, decentralized measurement, reporting, and verification of regenerative projects.User Reviews

Projects must be at least 3 months old. We use Twitter, web domain registration date, and other public info to determine this. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
A Project/Organization may only submit one project to the round.
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. For each type of climate solution project, including data and specific measurement plans will enhance your application.Your project should be part of one of these categories of Climate Solutions that CCN has identified:
- Renewable Energy
- Oracles & dMRV
- Carbon Accounting
- Climate Activism/Education
- Nature-Based Solutions
- Ocean-Based Solutions
- Climate Adaptation/Climate Resilience
- Supply Chain solutions
- Built Environment/Transportation
Grantees who received funding in a previous round(s) must provide a new update on their progress and impact. You can also include the challenges you've faced. This will ensure accountability to supporters and also help encourage contributors by showing what you’ve been accomplishing.
- You can use our newly published Climate Solutions Metrics Garden for inspiration and guidance on ways to measure your project’s impact.
- We encourage grantees to mint [Hypercerts](https://hypercerts.org/) impact claims with a description of your projects impact goals.
- We also encourage grantee to register their project on [Karma GAP](https://gap.karmahq.xyz/) and add milestones for your near term goals.
- Priority review will be given to grantees who utilize these tools.
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 must indicate how additional funding will help the project meet its upcoming goals, and include a project roadmap of the next year for the project overall.
All projects are required to be within the **“realm of viability”,** meaning ****they should be realistically achievable within the given conditions and resources and by the people submitting the project.
Projects are expected to be practical and capable of succeeding based on current circumstances, knowledge and technology.
- Even if a project is early, it must still seem credible to the average person with an understanding of web3 technology and climate solutions. Including information about the team's expertise, qualifications and skills will help us review your grant.
- Grantee founders must genuinely intend to build the project, and the project must not broadly be considered an impossibility.
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.
All Grantee must meet the Gitcoin General Eligibility Critertia: https://gitcoin.notion.site/Gitcoin-General-Elgibility-Criteria-0d28526cf6f04d6aa4aeba8dc1192afa?pvs=4

Please provide a better formatted description next time, reviewers are going to have a hard time reviewing this grant.
Anyway in my opinion it respects most of the Eligibility Criteria.
I just can't verify the updates as I cannot find any information from the grant application
In details for other reviewers:
-Community-Based Reforestation and Afforestation Projects:
dMeter has provided funding and support for community-driven reforestation and afforestation efforts.
-Ogallala Life IRL Pilot Projects:
Located in the Central and Southern High Plains, these pilot projects focus on ecosystem restoration practices. Specific actions include constructing leaky weirs and subsurface dams, revegetating riparian zones, and implementing rotational grazing to restore and enhance ecological health.
-Monitoring Through IOT Devices:
In these pilot areas, dMeter has implemented IoT devices to continuously monitor environmental factors such as wind, humidity, and temperature. This data collection supports the ongoing assessment and management of the restoration activities.

Insufficient information is provided in the scenario to determine the project's age. Confirmation of the project's age through Twitter, web domain registration, or other public info is required.
A Project/Organization may only submit one project to the round.
Based on the information provided, dMeter appears to be the sole project submitted by its organization for this round.
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.
dMeter’s project description indicates a focus on distributed Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (dMRV), which is essential infrastructure for tracking the impact of climate solutions, thereby aligning with the requirement.
Grantees who received funding in a previous round(s) must provide a new update on their progress and impact.
The project description includes an update on the project's progress since the last funding round, outlining their realizations, adjustments, and implementation of the Ecological Benefits Framework.
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 provided text describes the project's progress and outlines future goals, but it does not explicitly discuss lessons learned from previous work or specific plans for the use of additional funds.
All projects are required to be within the **“realm of viability”,** meaning ****they should be realistically achievable within the given conditions and resources and by the people submitting the project.
The project leverages existing frameworks and methodologies, suggesting practical and achievable goals. The description also indicates a team equipped with an understanding of web3 technology 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.
There is no evidence provided in the scenario to suggest that the project is involved with Sybil attacks or manipulation. However, without external vetting, a definitive score cannot be confidently assigned.
All Grantee must meet the Gitcoin General Eligibility Critertia
With the information provided, it is unclear if all of the Gitcoin General Eligibility Criteria are met. Each criteria would need to be reviewed in detail with the appropriate evidence.
