CeloPG Season 1 Funding Request

Governance Governance Proposals
4

Hi @LuukDAO @MontyMerlin,

Thanks for the comprehensive proposal. We have a few questions to better understand the allocation and execution of the proposed budget:

:magnifying_glass_tilted_left: Budget Clarification

Could you please provide a detailed breakdown of the following line items?

1. CeloPG Program Operations

125,000 CELO / 106,000 cUSD
Could you please provide a more detailed breakdown of this budget? Specifically:

  • How much is allocated to:
    • Contributor compensation (including core team)
    • Legal/accounting
    • Administrative overhead or tooling
  • How are these costs split across the program’s time frame (e.g., monthly/quarterly)?
  1. GG24 DDAs (Domain DAO Allocations)
    • 150,000 CELO / 100,000 cUSD
    • How will these funds be distributed between the two strategic rounds (ETH Localism & ETH For the World)?
    • What portion is for co-matching vs. operations vs. marketing or tooling?

:busts_in_silhouette: Team Structure & Compensation

Thanks for listing the core team. Could you also clarify:

  • Which of the following team members will receive monthly compensation from this proposal?
  • What is the expected time commitment (hourly or % of time per week) for each core contributor?
  • What are the monthly payment ranges or total compensation amounts for each?
  • Are roles considered full-time, part-time, or on-demand?

This clarity would help the community better understand how the requested resources are being allocated and ensure alignment with ecosystem priorities.

Lastly, could you please share the results from the previous round of the Celo Support Streams program (Season 0)?

Specifically, it would be helpful to understand:

  • Which projects received funding
  • How much each project received
  • (If possible) a graph or comparative visualization showing the distribution across all projects

This information will help the community evaluate the effectiveness of the program and better understand the rationale for continued funding in Season 1.

Another question: when people stake their CELO in order to participate in voting for this program, how are those staked CELO actually used?
Are they locked, delegated, earning yield, or contributing to network security in any specific way?
