Khepera Blockchained Bioregeneration For Climate And Education Proposal
Decentralized Impact Organization Khepera DIO develops the D-LAV system using black soldier fly larvae to bioregenerate waste, reducing methane emissions and improving sanitation, with a rollout pilot in The Gambia, incorporating AI, 3D printing, blockchain technology, and NFT economy for self-sustaining education funding.User Review

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 start date of the project, making it difficult to determine if it meets the 3-month maturity 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's description clearly outlines its focus on climate solutions, specifically targeting methane reduction through innovative sanitation systems. It also connects to web3 with its proposed use of blockchain technology for tracking and monetizing the value derived from bioregenerative matter, aligning it with the grant's focus.
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 regarding previous grant funding or updates on progress since earlier funding rounds, which makes it difficult to assess the project's progress and accountability in this regard.
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.
It is unclear whether this is the project's first time applying for a grant or if it is a returning grantee. Without this information, it is not possible to assess whether the project has provided the required updates from previous work, lessons learned, or how additional funding will be used.
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 proposal outlines a theoretically viable climate solution involving the utilization of black soldier fly larvae in conjunction with a sanitation system that could reduce GHGs, and it includes input from a diverse team with relevant expertise. However, the project's dependency on blockchain technology and the innovative economic model it aims to establish do add complexity that could challenge perception of viability, yet at the base, the proposal appears to align with current scientific and environmental research and is technologically plausible.
