Score Overview and Reviewer Comments

→ Total Average Score: 11.67 / 16

• “The scope is overwhelmingly ambitious and complex. Proposing to”federate communities, cooperatives, and DAOs” and create a “network-of-networks” with a novel “cypher-regen program” is a massive undertaking. The connection to Ethereum is clear but seems to prioritize tooling experimentation (Gardens, Sarafu) over solving a clearly defined local problem.”

• “This is a strong proposal and the team has experience running similar rounds. The impact is constrained enough to produce results while also allowing the local community to propose projects that are important to them. Promotes ethereum adoption as the entire program is run onchain.”* | | 2️⃣ Local Co-Funding & Financial Sustainability | 2.67 | *- “The project draws funding from a variety of sources across different groups with diverse skill sets, including strong support from Greenpill Global and local nodes. However, much of the current funding comes from recycling previous Gitcoin round allocations, meaning limited new capital is entering the ecosystem.”

• “Co-funding meets minimum ($13k) but is primarily for re-granting, not operational sustainability. Sources are Web3-heavy with no local institutional diversity, risking long-term viability. Budget lacks transparency for ongoing costs.”*

• “Program funds have been secured with additional soft commitments to increase the matching funds. A diverse set of stakeholders have committed funds.” | | 3️⃣ Round Operations, Mechanisms & Impact Framework | 2.83 | *- “The project demonstrates strong operational experience from previous Gitcoin rounds and Gardens fund deployment. The team brings extensive on-the-ground experience through Agroforest DAO, supported by robust governance featuring two separate pools for governance and treasury funding. The dual-pool structure effectively allocates resources to both regenerative actions (Hubs Pool) and regenerative processes and people (Champions Pool).”

• “Operational plan is convoluted with multiple tools and stages, creating high friction. Impact framework (SROI) is vague and unverifiable; metrics lack clarity and measurability. Timeline is ambitious but lacks detail for execution.”

• “The program is well thought out and modeled after previous rounds run by the team. Appears the entire program will be run on web3 rails and will also push adoption on web3 tools as a part of the round.”* | | 4️⃣ Team Capacity & Community Anchoring | 3.5 | *- “The project features strong dMRV integration to confirm regenerative actions and measurable impact. Team members are drawn from regenerative ecosystems throughout Brazil and possess strong storytelling abilities to communicate outcomes effectively.”

• “The team lists many individuals with LinkedIn/X profiles, but the application provides no evidence of their direct, practical experience in managing a grant program of this complexity. Past participation in Gitcoin Rounds (GG21, GG22, GG23) as an operator is noted, but operating a standard QF round is fundamentally different from building and managing this bespoke, multi-token, multi-stage mechanism. The organizational structure (”O2 framework,” “circles”) sounds theoretical and provides no clarity on who is ultimately responsible for critical functions like technical setup, voucher verification, or conflict resolution. The claim of “deep community trust” is not backed by testimonials or evidence of long-term anchoring in the specific bioregions mentioned.”

• “Team has a strong track record and a diverse set of skills. Deeply connected to the communities they will serve. Work is well distributed amongst the program leaders.”* |

Public Summary Comments

“Exceptional opportunity for Brazil to establish leadership in bioregional regenerative organization and the onchain economy.”

“Greenpill Brasil Commons proposes an innovative Web3-native approach but is critically hampered by operational complexity, unverifiable impact metrics, and unclear team responsibilities. A simplified, more focused approach with a clearer theory of change and verifiable metrics is strongly recommended. Please unlock the SROI document and remember to double-check access to all linked documents.”

“This project embodies the work of localism and is a strong candidate for funding. Your previous work is innovative and I am sure you have learned alot running previous round that will be incorporated into this round. Excited to see how the round goes and the impact it will have in your community.”

Evaluation Summary

Greenpill Brasil Commons presented an ambitious proposal to build cosmo-local infrastructure for regenerative initiatives across Brazilian bioregions using Ethereum coordination tools. Reviewers recognized the team's proven operational capacity through their successful management of Gitcoin rounds and the AgroforestDAO initiative, noting strong community anchoring across Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Pernambuco, and Bahia with active participation from hundreds of community members. The program's innovative SROI Commitments Framework and dual-pool structure combining Gardens DAO governance with Sarafu Network commitment pools demonstrated sophisticated Web3 integration, while the confirmed co-funding from multiple sources including Fabulosa Lab, Regen Rio, REGA Network, AgroforestDAO, and Greenpill Global met minimum requirements.

However, reviewers raised concerns about operational complexity, with the multi-tool, multi-stage mechanism potentially creating high friction and the impact metrics requiring clearer verification processes. The funding sources being primarily Web3-native also highlighted a need for greater institutional diversity to ensure long-term sustainability beyond the crypto ecosystem.

Despite legitimate concerns about the program's ambitious scope, the combination of demonstrated track record, confirmed co-funding, deep local relationships, and innovative reciprocity-based approach to commons-building warranted approval. The program offers valuable learning opportunities for the broader Localism Fund ecosystem on how Ethereum-based coordination can empower communities to design regenerative economies while maintaining measurable accountability. Operators are encouraged to simplify workflows where possible, strengthen verification documentation, ensure public accessibility of all framework materials, and begin cultivating relationships with municipal programs and regional NGOs for future funding rounds.
