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 started in April 2024, which makes it 5 months old at the time of review.
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 focuses on enhancing smart grid data sharing to improve energy distribution and sustainability, contributing to GHG reduction and addressing critical challenges in the energy sector. This fits within the Renewable Energy and core infrastructure for web3 climate solutions categories.
Grantees who received funding in a previous round(s) are required to provide a new update on their progress and impact via KarmaGAP. Each project must have a minimum of 2 milestones updated since the completion of GG20 AND include a summary of the project’s climate impact over the past year. Projects can also include the challenges they have faced. This will ensure accountability to supporters and provide context for your work and accomplishments
There is no information provided that suggests the project received funding in previous rounds or used KarmaGAP for updates. Thus, this criterion is not applicable.
Even if the project was accepted into previous rounds, grantees will be eliminated from participation in the GG21QF Round for the following reasons:
-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
-If they submit more than one project into the round
-If they are primarily a token launch or NFT project to raise money for a liquidity pool
-If the project does not clearly demonstrate a primary focus on being a climate solution with clear and proven climate impacts
There is no evidence to suggest that the project is involved in Sybil attacks, token launches, or NFT projects. It also clearly demonstrates a focus on climate solutions with outlined impacts on energy efficiency and GHG reduction.
All returning grantees are required to include the following:
-An update to their proposal including any lessons learned from previous work
-A description of how they plan to use the additional funding from the upcoming round and how additional funding will help the project meet its goals
-A rough timeline for the project overall
-A short bio for each team member and their qualifications
The project does include a rough timeline and team member bio, but there is no explicit update about lessons learned from previous work or detailed use of additional funding. Hence, it doesn't fully meet all sub-requirements.
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 project appears viable, leveraging proven technologies such as blockchain and ML with a detailed explanation of how they are integrated. The team lead has credible expertise.
Projects must comply with Gitcoin core rules and eligibility.
The project confirms that it abides by the Program General Eligibility Policy and the GG21 Climate Solution Round Eligibility Criteria.
