The Grant must be in support of or directly advance the Asian public goods ecosystem; or at least one founder identifies him/herself as Asian. We will refer to the [public goods report](https://www.gccofficial.org/explore.html#report) released by GCC last December for the definition of public goods.
The founder identifies as Asian, thereby fulfilling the criteria.
The project must clearly articulate the problem it addresses, the solution, the implementation plan, the financial plan, and demonstrate there is an excellent team or community for execution
The project description clearly articulates the problem of computational resource inefficiency, provides a solution through parallel proving on weak nodes, has a detailed implementation plan and financial plan. The solo developer has diverse experience and has secured funding previously.
Project must be 3 months old and the project must demonstrate some tangible progress towards their stated goals, with a working MVP is available to the public. We will use Twitter, official website, github, and other public info to determine this. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
While the project shows some progress on GitHub, it's unclear if a working MVP is available to the public. More information is needed to verify this aspect.
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 evidence to suggest that the project is encouraging or enabling Sybil attacks or other malicious activities.
Projects must comply with Gitcoin core rules and [eligibility criteria](https://gov.gitcoin.co/t/gg21-community-round-eligibility-criteria/19003).
The project appears to comply with the core rules and eligibility criteria of Gitcoin.
