Projects must be at least 3 months old. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
The project has been active since at least GR17, which indicates it has been operating for a period exceeding 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 describes its focus on planting mangrove trees, which contributes directly to reducing GHGs by increasing carbon sequestration. Additionally, they are harnessing web3 technology to track, validate, and incentivize planting 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 project's description includes an 'Accomplishments So Far' section which outlines progress such as the development of the $TREES token, partnerships, and the actual planting of over 1.8 million trees, indicating a clear reporting of progress since receiving previous funding.
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.
The proposal includes information about what Treegens has built so far, current partnerships, and its community programs. It discusses how they plan to leverage additional funding to unlock the potential of carbon forwards and execute their vision for exponential regeneration. However, a detailed breakdown of the budget and a precise timeline are not clearly present, which may affect the thoroughness of their proposal.
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 credible and within the realm of viability. They have shown significant accomplishments and are integrating web3 technologies in a way that is sensible for tracking and incentivizing tree planting. The integration of tokens, NFTs, and AI technology in their climate solution efforts is indicative of genuine intent to build the project and does not seem impossible to achieve.
