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 first project Fork Forest 01 was said to be assembled in January 2023 and completed in May, which indicates that the project is at least 3 months old.
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.
Fork Forest's initiatives with planting trees and creating native forests directly relate to natural systems CO2 sequestration, a recognized climate solution, and it also implements web3 tools.
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.
Fork Forest provided detailed updates about their first project's outcomes, the onboarding of 'Zapam Zucum', and their transition to their second project, fulfilling the requirement for progress and impact updates.
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 submission includes details about Fork Forest's upcoming project and how previous funds were used. Although the lessons learned are not explicitly mentioned, the description of ongoing initiatives implies knowledge gained from their first project that is being applied to the second one.
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.
Fork Forest demonstrates credibility with its completed first project and clear collaboration with local organizations, such as INTA. They also show an understanding of web3 technology through NFTs and collaborations with other ReFi projects.
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.
The information provided does not indicate any malicious activities, however, there is also no explicit evidence confirming full compliance with this criterion. Without access to additional monitoring tools or data, it remains uncertain.
