## 🌍 Celo Regional Council — Global Updates

Busy Week in the Celo Regional Council; the ecosystem is in motion everywhere — builders, hubs, and communities are turning coordination into progress.

### 🌏 Asia

Led by [@KaanKacar](https://forum.celo.org/u/kaankacar) and @GulcanLayla, the Asia region continues to overdeliver. More than **300 active projects** this month and strong developer communities growing in **Dubai** and **Hanoi.**  
Focus remains on long-term growth: up-skilling projects, improving proposal quality, and strengthening networks in **India** and **Turkey.**

### 🌍 Europe

[Celo Europe](https://x.com/CeloEurope/status/1986817507907215800) launched the **Cirkvit Program** , a DeFi Renaissance for builders across **Poland, Serbia, Romania, Estonia, Finland, Germany,** and beyond — with **27,000 CELO in rewards** and mentorship to ship real-world MiniApps.

> _Learn. Build. Ship. Get paid._

### 🌎 LATAM

Momentum is high across Latin America:

- [**Celo Gather**](https://x.com/CeLatamOrg/status/1986567583265407380): The first Celo Gather in LATAM takes place at **DevConnect Buenos Aires** , Nov 18th. A moment to meet, learn, and connect with Celorians from all over the world.
- [**CELATAM Article**](http://medium.com/@celatamorg/blended-finance-impact-capital-allocation-in-chapada-diamantinas-renewable-energy-projects-b7bff755b24d): A deep dive into **blended finance and impact capital** in Chapada Diamantina, Bahia — tracking over **BRL 18.7B** in wind and solar deployment.
- [**Celo Mexico**](https://x.com/celomexico/status/1986171519576445355): Hosting a new **online Buildathon** , supporting teams deploying on mainnet and onboarding new builders into Celo.
- [**Celo Colombia**](https://x.com/Celo_Col/status/1983227693731836362): Running workshops with **TuCop Finance** at **BlockSummit LA** and **FinHub Hackathon** at EAFIT University — expanding Celo’s presence in financial innovation and DeFi education.

### 🌍 Africa

The region showcased two standout projects:

- **Cash** — a non-custodial wallet supporting stablecoin payments and local off-ramps in **Kenya, Uganda, Ghana,** and **Nigeria.**
- **HackersD** — a platform hosting hackathons, currently with **200+ users** and integrations with **KarmaGAP** and **Proof of Ship** for developer recognition.

### 🛠 Proof of Ship

[Proof of Ship Stats →](https://dune.com/celo/proof-of-ship-stats)  
10 seasons, **131,000+ users** , **3.7M+ transactions** , and **$66,000+ in payouts.**  
A true reflection of builders growing on-chain. The next season is already being designed with improved metrics, new challenges, and stronger feedback loops for project quality and user adoption.

Celo is in its _winning era_, and every region is helping shape what that looks like — from local activations to global programs, from first transactions to full ecosystems.
