Projects must be at least 3 months old. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
There is no specific information provided regarding the inception date of the Biolumen project.
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 Biolumen project is a reforestation initiative aimed at offsetting carbon emissions through tree planting and biodiversity conservation, aligning directly with climate solutions.
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.
It is not provided whether Biolumen has received previous funding through the Gitcoin platform, impeding an assessment regarding the progress reporting.
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.
There is insufficient information on whether Biolumen is a returning grantee and, if so, whether they have provided an updated proposal reflecting lessons learned and a roadmap for future use of funds.
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 Biolumen project, with its goals of reforestation and biodiversity conservation, appears to be a viable climate solution. However, there's no indication of web3 integration, but the project is not broadly considered an impossibility.
