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 website and Twitter handle have been provided but without the dates of creation, therefore the age of the project cannot be confirmed from the information given.
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 Aquapurge Project focuses on ocean cleanup which is directly related to climate solutions, aiming to address pollution and potentially reduce GHGs through better management of waste and encouraging sustainable habits.
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 application does not indicate whether the project has previously received funding through Gitcoin, nor does it provide updates or mention if any Hypercerts have been minted. Thus, progress and impact updates cannot be assessed.
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 confirmation of previous grant receipt, it is not clear whether The Aquapurge Project is a returning grantee. Therefore, it's uncertain if the project has provided the updated proposal with lessons learned and a detailed use of additional funds.
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 Aquapurge Project describes a clear and achievable method for ocean cleanup, which is a practical approach to a climate solution with tangible outcomes like the removal of trash from beaches. This signifies intent and a viable goal. However, the lack of detail on the team's qualifications prevents a full assessment of expertise related to web3 technologies.
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 provided that indicates whether The Aquapurge Project has engaged in any form of encouraging or enabling Sybil attacks or other malicious activities. Without access to platform activity or community reports, this cannot be assessed.
