We’ve launched a Climate-themed funding round for Epoch 7, in partnership with the Climate Coordination Network.

Our goal? To experiment with innovative funding models, champion projects with measurable impact, and foster long-term, community-driven change. We’re looking for projects that align with these values.

1. General Eligibility

Projects must meet these criteria to qualify:

• Non-excludable, non-rivalrous: Open access and shared benefits.
• Integrity matters: Evidence of unethical behavior (e.g., misuse of funds, fraud, bullying) disqualifies you.
• Not a charity: We prioritize scalable, long-term solutions over direct aid.
• No financial products: Lending, investing, or trading services are not eligible.

2. Categories of Projects

We want bold ideas across these categories:

• Infrastructure: Tools like oracles and dMRV that accelerate climate action or remove GHGs.
• Nature/Ocean Solutions: Projects restoring and protecting ecosystems or promoting marine conservation.
• Climate Adaptation/Resilience: Helping communities and ecosystems adapt to climate change.
• Renewable Energy: Driving clean energy innovations.

3. Early-Stage Focus

• Projects must be at least 1 year old. We’ll verify using Twitter, domain registration, and public records.
• We prioritize early-stage projects with limited prior funding but big potential for ecosystem impact.
