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 the exact start date of the 'DeFood: Decentralized Food Security Network (DFSN)' project, making it impossible to determine the project's age.
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 proposal describes efforts to decentralize food security as a means to enhance local food production, which inherently can contribute to reducing GHG emissions by minimizing transportation and encouraging regenerative agricultural practices. Additionally, the project aims to integrate blockchain technology to monetize carbon sequestering assets, which aligns with the theme of web3 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.
The provided information does not contain details about whether the project has received funding in previous rounds and if so, does not report on the project's progress since those rounds.
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 no information available that confirms the project's previous grantee status or provides an updated proposal with the required details such as lessons learned, use of additional funding, and a rough timeline for the project.
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.
Although specific details about the project implementation are not included, the concept of using decentralized models and web3 technology for climate solutions and food security is a viable and increasingly explored approach. The proposal seems credible and is aligned with current technological trends and climate action initiatives.
