Projects must be at least 3 months old. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
Cosmos for Humanity | C4H is indicated as an established non-profit NGO with active efforts and partnerships, implying an establishment of over 3 months.
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.
Although the project focuses on space sustainability, their efforts regarding the Outer Space Footprint (OSF) and promotion of orbit protection contribute indirectly to climate solutions by fostering sustainable use of satellite data and infrastructure, which are integral for monitoring and addressing climate change.
Grantees who received funding in previous rounds should report on project progress since GR15 or the Alpha round. We understand that some projects may have less progress given the timing of Alpha round disbursements. This will ensure accountability to supporters and also help encourage contributors by showing what you’ve been accomplishing.
The project has provided a detailed update on the progress since previous rounds, including results from partnerships, recruitment of interns, and participation in a ReFi event.
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.
The project has updated its objectives and provided a clear explanation of how the additional funding will be used for internships, research, and educational content, demonstrating their intentions to carry forward with their goals.
There is a general expectation that projects are within the “realm of viability”. Even if a project may be at a very early stage, it still must seem credible to the average person with an understanding of web3 technology and climate solutions. Grantee founders must genuinely intend to build the project, and the project must not broadly be considered an impossibility.
The project appears to be within the realm of viability, with established partnerships, clear objectives, and recent active engagement in the space sustainability field. These demonstrate both the intent and capability to continue developing 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.
With the information provided, there is no evidence suggesting the project is involved in encouraging or enabling Sybil attacks or malicious manipulation of platforms. However, without a thorough investigation into all their activities, the score cannot be definitively 'Yes'.
