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 information does not specify the exact establishment date of the project, thus it is unclear if the project meets the 3-month 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 DeFood addresses climate solutions by expanding localized food production and is exploring securitizing natural assets including through regenerative agriculture and carbon sequestration, which align with examples provided in the criteria.
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 description did not include any updates on progress or impact from previous funding rounds, nor did it mention minting Hypercerts. It also did not specify if it had received funding before.
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 are no details provided on any past proposal updates or lessons learned from previous work. The application does not mention previous grant funding or how additional funds would be used to meet goals along with a timeline.
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 viable, with a clear plan to use web3 technology for securitizing natural assets to support local food production and a digital currency. However, specific information about the team's expertise, qualifications, and skills was not provided to fully assess credibility.
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 suggesting that this project has been involved in Sybil attacks or other forms of malicious manipulation of the grants platform or the Gitcoin community.
