The Grant must be in support of, or directly advancing the ZK tools, libraries, community, or protocols.
There are clear indications that CrunchDAO plans to utilize ZK technology to enhance privacy in machine learning competitions and for research reproducibility on their platform.
The Grant should be focused on accomplishing the following for ZK: Usability - improving the user experience of zero-knowledge tools/libraries, not zero-knowledge rollups. This could also be technical education and documentation. Tooling - improving the developer experience or making it easier to develop applications utilizing zero-knowledge proofs or technology. Applications - technical implementations of zero-knowledge proofs and circuits, not simply applications built on top of zero-knowledge roll ups.
CrunchDAO mentions the integration of ZK tools into their ecosystem to facilitate private-data-based research and development, which seems to align with improving usability, tooling, and applications related to ZK technology.
The project must have been active in the last 3 months - social media and GitHub.
Based on their social media presence and GitHub activity, CrunchDAO shows recent and continuous activity which includes multiple commits and closed issues in the last 3 months.
The project should have demonstrated either concrete progress, or evidence of a substantive technical roadmap that clarifies how ZK technology will be used and advanced.
The project has made tangible progress in their work with Machine Learning and Data Science and have a clear roadmap with goals to integrate ZK technology, such as in their collaboration with Zama and the use of concreteML.
The Grant deliverables should be open source.
While the project emphasizes open science and contributions to its research library, it is not explicitly stated that all grant-related deliverables are open source or available under appropriate open-source licenses.
Satisfy the Program General Eligibility Policy in addition to the requirements outlined above.
Without clear knowledge of the specific Program General Eligibility Policy, it is uncertain whether all such policies have been met; however, based on available information, the project appears to meet many of the general criteria of relevance, active development, and community engagement.
