The Grant must be in support of or directly advance the Asian public goods ecosystem; or at least one founder identifies him/herself as Asian. We will refer to the [public goods report](https://www.gccofficial.org/explore.html#report) released by GCC last December for the definition of public goods.
One founder identifies himself as Asian, and the project advances the public goods ecosystem in Asia by democratizing research funding, fostering scientific innovation, promoting local language and community engagement, and supporting regional projects.
The project must clearly articulate the problem it addresses, the solution, the implementation plan, the financial plan, and demonstrate there is an excellent team or community for execution
The project clearly addresses scientific funding problems, offers blockchain and NFT-based solutions, provides an implementation and financial plan, and has a qualified team with relevant experience.
Project must be 3 months old and the project must demonstrate some tangible progress towards their stated goals, with a working MVP is available to the public. We will use Twitter, official website, github, and other public info to determine this. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
