Digital Democracy on Celo — Season 1 Funding Proposal [FINAL]

Thank you for submitting your proposal and for your continued interest in contributing to the Celo ecosystem. After reviewing the content and context of this submission, we would like to provide some clarifications regarding its path forward.

This proposal sits outside the defined scope for Season 1 Intent which was submitted, voted and approved through Celo Governance.

The defined Ecosystem Growth budget for this season has already been fully allocated among several proposals already approved and being executed, and the Community Fund isn’t meant to continuously reopen outside the agreed-upon cycle. Governance should be predictable; otherwise, it turns into a reactive funding faucet.

Of course, Celo Governance is permissionless meaning anyone can submit something on-chain. But being able to doesn’t always mean it’s the best move for the ecosystem right now.

The governance Guardian’s role is to review that the submission process & proposal structure are correct and signal alignment, not to gatekeep.

Our suggestion would be to see if you meet the specification of Prezenti’s current offerings although they are tied to specific filters aligned with the Season 1 Intent. If you do not meet the criteria there are alternative initiatives such as CeloPG and Proof of Ship. They’re built to support exactly this type of initiative, and it would likely be a smoother and more effective path
