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.
The project's age is not provided in the given information, and public information necessary to determine the project's age, such as the Twitter account creation date and web domain registration date, are not supplied.
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 clearly focused on reducing GHGs through the production of biochar and development of carbon-negative hemp bricks, both of which are associated with carbon sequestration and climate solutions.
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.
There is no information provided about whether the project has received previous funding, nor is there an update or impact report included in the provided information. Therefore, it's unclear if this criterion is met.
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.
It's unclear whether this is a returning grantee, and no detailed information has been provided regarding updates to the proposal, lessons learned, or specific uses for additional funding.
There is a general expectation that projects are within the **“realm of viability”**.
The project discusses practical climate solutions such as creating biochar and carbon-negative bricks, which are scientifically and technically viable methods for carbon sequestration and improving sustainability. The team's description suggests relevant expertise and skills, indicating genuine intent to build 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 indicating whether the grantees have been involved in such activities, and without further investigation, this cannot be confirmed or denied.
