Projects must be at least 3 months old. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
Though the specific founding date is not provided, the description implies a history of work and a developed MVP, suggesting that the project is at least 3 months old.
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 project is focused on empowering regenerative communities and stewardship of land using web3, which can contribute to climate solutions through various regenerative and sustainable practices.
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 explicit mention of reporting on progress since a previous funding round. Without this information, it is not clear whether this requirement has been met.
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.
While the proposal mentions upcoming improvements and plans for further development, it does not explicitly detail the lessons learned from previous work or a rough timeline for the project.
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.
The project is already operational with an MVP and has a clear vision for expanding their platform's capabilities, which seems credible and viable within the scope of web3 technology and climate solutions.
