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.
Project age is not specified, and there is insufficient public information provided to determine the exact age of the project.
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 aligns with climate solutions as it involves river and beach clean-ups which contribute to environmental conservation and potentially the reduction of GHGs through waste management and awareness.
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.
There is no information provided regarding whether the grantee has received funding in previous rounds or about the progress and impact of such funding.
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.
It is not clear whether the project is a returning grantee, nor is there an updated proposal available to review that would detail plans for use of additional funding and timelines.
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.
Cleaning rivers and beaches is a practical and actionable climate solution. However, without specific information on the team's web3 technology expertise related to climate solutions, comprehensive evaluation of viability in that sphere is not possible. The founders' intent to build the project seems genuine.
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 indication that the grantee is involved in Sybil attacks or malicious manipulation of the grants platform or the Gitcoin community.
