Some comments / feedback about Climate Solutions Round Eligibility
OK, makes sense.
I think it is too specific:
- help reduce GHGs
- core infrastructure for web3
Here are some climate solutions that do not fit in the definition above:
- Awareness
- Education
- Community / movement / network building
- Climate adaptation
- Climate mitigation
For example - protecting a village in Tuvalu by building a sea wall - definitely a climate solution but it does NOT reduce GHGs and it is NOT core infrastructure for web3. If the same village was protected by mangrove forest to prevent erosion - now one could argue that it will reduce GHGs.
General feedback
I think Gitcoin can expand beyond Web3 native communities.
I think Gitcoin has brand, reputation, track record, almost $100m distributed.
I spoke face-2-face during EthCC week in Paris with some people affiliated with Gitcoin, posting here on the forum for additional visibility.
Accepting payment cards / PayPal / Venmo
Most people have less than 5, it is good for sybil-attack mitigation. Allowing people to pay with TradFi methods and automagically using them as passport stamp.
Gitcoin offering smooth experience, oboarding people into blockchain without them even knowing. So timely, so possible, especially with account abstraction.
Open Philanthropy and regranting. Receiving $20-50-100m from them and increasing the matching bonus.
“More money to distribute that worthy projects” - it can solve their problem of distributing money. Gitcoin and blockchain has transparency by default and the MRV (measuring, reporting, verification) part is getting better.
