Projects must be at least 3 months old. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
The provided information doesn't include the exact founding date of dMeter, so it is not possible to confirm if 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 dMeter outlines its focus on developing a decentralized MRV system, which is a core part of web3 climate solutions and has potential to help in GHG reduction through improved management of regenerative projects.
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 update post beta round suggests that dMeter has made progress by formalizing their entity structure and starting work on specific grants, fulfilling the requirement for reporting on project progress.
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 information provided does not include explicit details on the lessons learned from previous work, nor does it outline a clear plan for the use of additional funding or a timeline for the project, making it impossible to determine whether this criterion is fully met.
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.
dMeter addresses a clear problem within the realm of environmental monitoring, reporting, and verification for climate action, which is a viable and necessary component of web3 climate solutions, making it credible to individuals with an understanding of this field.
