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 start date of the project, thus it is unclear if 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 primarily a gaming universe with blockchain integration. While a portion of sales is directed to planting trees, this is a secondary effect and not the primary focus of the project.
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 regarding previous funding rounds or project progress reports since then.
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.
No updated proposal has been provided, nor is there any mention of lessons learned or an outline of the use of additional funds along with a project timeline.
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 a credible venture into blockchain-integrated gaming. The gaming element is well within current technological capacities, and the addition of supporting real-world ecological initiatives through a gaming platform does not seem implausible.
