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 provided project description states that the Traditional Dream Factory has been in operation since 2021, which is well over the minimum age requirement of 3 months.
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 aligned with climate solutions, as it includes efforts like reforestation, creation of food forests, and various regenerative agriculture practices which are explicitly aimed at bolstering climate resilience and thus, can contribute to the reduction of GHGs.
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.
The project has detailed their recent quarterly actions and has minted a Hypercert for their tree planting action during the ReFi Week, indicating both progress and the use of web3 tools to represent their impact.
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.
While the project has provided updates on their recent activities, the provided description does not explicitly include lessons learned from previous work nor a detailed explanation of how the additional funding will be used or a rough timeline for future plans.
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 within the realm of viability and the description implies a diverse and capable team, with actual regenerative activities taking place; however, specific qualifications or expertise of the team members are not detailed.
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 in the project description that suggests involvement in Sybil attacks or malicious manipulation. However, without ability to comprehensively check outside the supplied text, it's uncertain if such activities have occurred.
