Projects must be at least 3 months old. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
Given the provided project description and GitHub activity showing development efforts before the current period, 'Plants And Pillars' appears to have been in existence for at least 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.
The 'Plants And Pillars' project clearly outlines a climate-focused solution by linking virtual tree planting in their Zen Garden game to actual tree planting, which contributes directly to GHG reduction.
Grantees who received funding in previous rounds should report on project progress since GR15 or the Alpha & Beta rounds. We understand that some projects may have less progress given the timing of Alpha & Beta round disbursements. This will ensure accountability to supporters and also help encourage contributors by showing what you’ve been accomplishing.
The project description includes details on progress after GR15 and the Alpha Round with specific achievements like the creation of an MVP for their blog platform and the onboarding of writers.
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 proposal provided includes updates on the project's progress, discusses the utilization of additional funding from Gitcoin for incentivization and development of web and mobile apps, and covers a rough timeline for 2023.
There is a general expectation that projects are within the “realm of viability”. Even if a project may be at a very early stage, it still must seem credible to the average person with an understanding of web3 technology and climate solutions. Grantee founders must genuinely intend to build the project, and the project must not broadly be considered an impossibility.
Plants And Pillars demonstrates a practical application of web3 technology to drive climate action, suggesting a realistic and viable approach with credible efforts reflected in their progress updates and existing MVPs.
