Projects must be at least 3 months old. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
The project description and website do not provide an exact start date for the project. Without this information, it cannot be confirmed whether the project meets the 3-month age requirement.
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 aimed at using Web3 technology to support rewilding efforts and wildlife sanctuaries, which can contribute to climate solutions by promoting biodiversity and ecosystem restoration. The NFTs function to raise funds and awareness for rewilding efforts aligns with the criteria for a climate-focused grant.
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 has indicated that they have received support during the Devcon VI Bogota CLR QF Round and have used those funds to develop their MVP. This suggests that they have reported on their progress since receiving previous funding, meeting the criteria.
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 project outlines how the funds from previous support were used for developing their MVP and states future plans to enhance game mechanics and hire more developers. They also mention a need for resources to ease the web3 interaction aspect. However, a detailed timeline and explicit lessons learned are not provided, which might be an area for improvement.
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 appears to be viable, with an MVP already developed and partnerships with wildlife sanctuaries established. The use of web3 technology for fundraising and education about rewilding is innovative but credible. The application shows genuine intent to build the project further.
