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 presence on Twitter implies it has been active for at least several months, meeting the minimum age requirement.
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's description focuses on regenerative finance in the context of environmental action, community empowerment, and beach clean-up initiatives, suggesting a primary emphasis on 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.
Insufficient information is provided regarding previous rounds of funding or updates on progress, making it difficult to assess if this criterion has been met.
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 lack of explicit statements about lessons learned from previous work or how additional funding would be used, so it is uncertain if the grantee meets this requirement.
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 to be credible, showing on-the-ground action and commitment to climate solutions, and does not broadly seem to be an impossibility, though detailed information about the team's expertise is lacking.
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 presented evidence suggesting that the project is engaging in Sybil attacks or malicious manipulation of the platform.
