Projects must be at least 3 months old. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
The Traditional Dream Factory project was stated to have an inception date in 2021, which means it has been operational for over 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.
The project is directly engaged in regenerative practices, such as soil regeneration and reforestation, which are closely aligned with climate solutions. The use of Hypercerts to enable funding flows for regenerative actions integrates a web3 solution for climate-oriented activities.
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 provided description does not indicate whether Traditional Dream Factory received funding in previous rounds nor does it include a progress report aligned with the Gitcoin progress reporting framework.
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 from the provided description if Traditional Dream Factory is a returning grantee or if they have updated their proposal to include lessons learned and detailed plans for the use of additional funding. No rough timeline is presented.
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.
Traditional Dream Factory evidences a tangible and operational project with efforts in regenerative agriculture and web3 engagement, which seems viable and credible. There is an actual location being regenerated and community involvement, suggesting genuine intention and feasibility.
