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 submission provides a Twitter handle and a website domain, but there is no specific information provided about the dates of establishment for these resources. Without exact dates or additional public information, the age of the project cannot be determined.
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 is primarily focused on a climate solution as it involves storing data in the DNA of plants, which has the potential to reduce GHGs by using a carbon-absorbing medium for data storage.
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 provided evidence of previous funding rounds or progress updates related to this project within the provided description. Without this context, it cannot be determined if the project has received prior funding and thus should provide an update.
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 provided information does not specify whether the project has been a previous grantee. Therefore, it cannot be evaluated whether they have provided an update on their proposal and how they would utilize additional funding.
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 description of the project, the documented presentation of their concept to individuals such as Vitalik Buterin, and the award recognition suggest the project aligns with the realm of viability. The team's background as an award-winning research organization suggests credible expertise and genuine intent.
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 information provided to suggest the project has been involved in encouraging or enabling Sybil attacks or any other forms of malicious manipulation of the grants platform or the Gitcoin community.
