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.
There is insufficient information provided about the project's start date to determine whether it meets the 3-month age requirement. Verification using Twitter or web domain registration date was suggested but not completed as part of this static assessment.
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. Examples include: Renewable Energy, Oracles & DMRV, Supply Chain Analysis, Carbon Accounting, climate activists / collectives, Natural Systems CO2 Sequestration
The proposal for R3WILD clearly states that its mission is to create a global community-owned wildlife reserve aiming to protect wilderness areas, preserve habitats, reduce CO2, and support local communities through eco-tourism, which aligns with the reduction of GHGs and the sequestration of natural systems CO2.
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. We encourage grantees to mint Hypercerts for the work and the impact they have accomplished. Priority review will be given to grantees who have minted a Hypercert.
There is no provided information regarding whether R3WILD has received funding in previous rounds and thus whether it is required to provide an update on progress and impact. As such, it is not possible to assess this criterion without further data.
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.
Without knowing if R3WILD is a returning grantee, it is not possible to assess if they have met the requirement to update their proposal accordingly with lessons learned, intended use for additional funding, and timeline for the project.
There is a general expectation that projects are within the **“realm of viability”**. Even if a project is very 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.
R3WILD appears to be a viable project, with a clear mission and outlined impact on climate solutions. The description of the team's background as conservationists and the inclusion of specific information about their ainti-poaching efforts and connections to established wildlife reserves supports the image of a credible project with genuine intent.
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 presented indicating whether R3WILD has been involved in encouraging or enabling malicious activities such as Sybil attacks. As such, a conclusive assessment cannot be made without further investigation.
