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 exact date when Regen Forge was established, thus it's unclear if the project has 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.
Regen Forge's initiatives such as housing with natural materials, bioplastics from agricultural waste, efficient food processing, and renewable energy solutions indicate a primary focus on climate solutions aimed at reducing GHG emissions.
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 available information in the given data about previous rounds of funding or progress reports from Regen Forge; therefore, it is uncertain if they comply with this criterion.
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.
Due to a lack of information about any past funding received and the absence of an updated proposal detailing lessons learned and plans for use of additional funding, it is uncertain if Regen Forge meets this requirement.
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 goals and objectives of Regen Forge align with common climate solution practices and don't seem far-fetched; thus, the project appears within the 'realm of viability' for someone familiar with web3 and climate initiatives.
