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 when the Agrii DAO project was established, making it impossible to determine if it meets the age requirement.
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 description of Agrii DAO indicates the project is focused on fostering innovation in agronomy and integrating agroecology, which may contribute to sustainable agricultural and food systems. This suggests a primary focus on climate solutions with potential to reduce GHG emissions through sustainable practices, though specific methods of GHG reduction are not detailed.
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 provided regarding previous funding rounds for Agrii DAO, so it cannot be determined whether the project has received past funding or reported on progress as required.
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 not clear whether Agrii DAO is a returning grantee, and there is no updated proposal or information on lessons learned or plans for use of additional funding provided in the evaluation data.
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.
Agrii DAO seems to be within the 'realm of viability', with a defined problem, proposed solution and a multidisciplinary team including individuals with expertise in agro-economics, blockchain technology, and fullstack development.
