Projects must be at least 3 months old. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
From the provided information, it is unclear when Ecofrontiers was established, and there is no explicit mention of the project's start date or evidence of activity that confirms the project's age.
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.
Ecofrontiers is primarily focused on climate solutions by aiming to revolutionize natural capital asset markets through Web3 technologies, which would inherently aid in reducing GHGs and strategically impact the infrastructure for web3 climate solutions.
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 provided information lacks any reference to previous funding or progress reports since potential earlier rounds such as GR15 or other Alpha & Beta rounds; therefore, it is unclear whether Ecofrontiers has received such funding and, if so, what their progress updates might be.
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.
Based on the information, it is not clear if Ecofrontiers is a returning grantee. If they are, there is no update on the proposal reflecting lessons learned or detailed plans for the use of additional funding along with a rough timeline.
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.
Ecofrontiers outlines a credible approach to bridging Web3 technology with natural capital markets and seems to have a viable vision. The team at Curve Labs, leading the initiative, has a solid background in Web3 & Regenerative Finance, lending credibility to their genuine intention to build out this project.
