I would implore the Celo team to come up with a serious plan, and action steps to increase Celo token value and utility.

Hi @Dappsoverapps, thank you for submitting your updated post and for your continued interest in contributing to the Celo ecosystem. We would like to clarify a few important points regarding your request to present on today’s governance call.

First, this proposal appears to be materially the same initiative that was previously submitted and reviewed in August. At that time, your team was already scheduled to present but did not attend the call. When the request was made again thirty days ago, we explained that the proposal needed to be brought into alignment with the required template before being considered for inclusion in a governance call agenda.

The template and structure are still not fully aligned with the required format. Calls serve as the venue for reviewing proposals that are ready for community discussion, and we cannot add items that do not meet the basic submission standards. This is not meant to block contribution, it is simply part of ensuring that governance follows consistent and predictable processes.

Second, this proposal sits outside the defined scope for Season 1 Intent. The Ecosystem Growth budget for Season 1 has already been fully allocated to proposals that were reviewed, approved, and are currently being executed. The Community Fund is not intended to reopen mid-season for additional allocations. Predictability is important for governance planning, and shifting budget cycles ad hoc would undermine that stability.

Of course, Celo governance is permissionless. Anyone may choose to submit a proposal on chain. However, being able to submit does not mean that a proposal will receive alignment signals from governance reviewers when it falls outside the current season parameters.

Our recommendation remains that you explore whether this initiative fits within existing ecosystem programs. Prezenti has specific filters tied to Season 1 Intent. If those do not apply to your use case, there are alternative builder oriented initiatives such as CeloPG and Proof of Ship which are designed to support projects like this in a more suitable and structured way.

Hi everyone, quick update regarding the Governance Call that was originally planned for today.

Due to the Devconnect events currently taking place and the Thanksgiving week ahead, we will postpone the call to ensure active participation from contributors and teams across the ecosystem.

The next Governance Call is now scheduled for 4 December.
