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.
Based on the provided project description and links, including the Twitter profile, it is clear that the project has been established for more than three months and has an ongoing web presence indicating its age.
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 project 'MesoReefDAO - Regenerating Reef Conservation with DeSci Web3 tools' is focused on restoring, protecting, preserving, and conserving the Mesoamerican Reef ecosystem, which aligns with the climate solution of 'Natural Systems CO2 Sequestration.' The proposal clearly outlines the mission, vision, and specific strategies on how the project will contribute to 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. 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.
The proposal includes detailed updates on the project's progress, the challenges faced, and the impact of previous funding rounds. There is evidence of active engagement with scientific communities and listed updates, although it is not explicitly mentioned if they have minted Hypercerts.
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.

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.
The team's expertise and qualifications are clearly listed, showcasing a diverse set of professionals with backgrounds in reef ecology, genomics, and other relevant areas. The project appears credible and exhibits genuine intent to build and develop the proposed climate solutions using web3 technology.
