Projects must be at least 3 months old. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
The provided information does not specify the age of the Tokyo River Friends project.
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 description of Tokyo River Friends does not explicitly state how it will help reduce greenhouse gases (GHGs) or is an important core 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.
There is no information provided on whether Tokyo River Friends received funding in previous rounds or on the progress of the project since then.
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.
Insufficient information is available to determine if Tokyo River Friends is a returning grantee or whether they have updated their proposal with the specific requirements mentioned.
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.
River cleanup is a credible and viable project with direct climate and environmental benefits, even though the information provided does not relate to web3 technology or climate solutions.
