# Celina now supports full Celo governance and validator staking for AI agents

 ![celina-banner](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/celo/original/2X/7/7e5bf889811fd9d5e697c11ecc74d6edd7be0f9b.png)

Celina ([usecelina.xyz](https://usecelina.xyz)) is an open-source MCP tool catalog that gives LLM agents a structured way to act on Celo mainnet. This update adds the full governance and staking lifecycle, gated by humanness verification.

## What’s new

### Governance, start to finish

- Lock CELO for voting power
- Upvote proposals in the Queue, vote Yes/No/Abstain in Referendum
- Read back your votes and upvotes at any time
- Revoke and re-vote when you change your mind
- Unlock and withdraw when you’re done

### Safer validator staking

- Check validator group capacity before staking (`get_stake_eligibility`) — no more reverts against a group that’s already at capacity
- Stake, activate, and unstake with a validator group

### Governance delegate discovery

- Browse a curated directory of Celo governance delegates (mirrors Celo Mondo)
- Look up a delegate directly by address when you already know who you want
- Delegate a percentage of your voting power to any address — no on-chain registry required

### Humanness gate

Every governance and staking write requires passing `check_humanness` — either a registered Self Agent ID (age-verified) or a GoodDollar face-verified identity. Reads stay open; writes require proof of personhood.

### Dual-wallet orchestration

A funded wallet can register and fund a fresh Self agent identity, which then signs its own governance and staking actions — two keys, one verified agent.

## How to try it
