Projects must be at least 3 months old. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
The Litter Token project does not state its exact inception date in the provided text, but its accomplishments and establishment across multiple countries suggest the initiative has been operational for longer than 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.
Litter Token's primary objective is to incentivize litter cleanup, which directly contributes to environmental conservation and can help reduce greenhouse gases by preventing pollution and promoting better waste management.
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 proposal for Litter Token mentions the use of previous Gitcoin funds in various initiatives across the globe, thereby providing a progress report of its activities since the last funding round.
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.
Litter Token has updated its proposal to include lessons learned, such as finding new ways to fund the project, and outlines the uses for additional funding, including funding more litter pickups and establishing a nonprofit DAO, with a rough timeline extending to the end of 2024.
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.
Litter Token surrounds a practical and already operational concept of incentivizing litter cleanup, making it a viable and credible project. The initiative's existing track record and expansion plans are realistic and grounded in practical achievable outcomes.
