Following on from the Celo PG H2 funding 2 approval, Prezenti is pleased to open its ‘Mint Round’ of Celo grant funding! Like the Apricot round, this round is open to all builders on Celo for a period of time. What is new this time, is that we are using Charmverse to deliver this grant cycle.
Prezenti has a solid track record for delivering grants in the Celo ecosystem, granting over receiving over 300 applications, and granting $1.2M cUSD to over 70 grants. Check us out!
APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN UNTIL 15th November 2024
First check your eligibility and apply for one of our 3x types of grants:
- MICRO: $2,000 cUSD
The Micro Pool is specifically designed to support one-off contributions that significantly enhance the Celo community, offering financial assistance to projects at the very start of their journey or providing retroactive funding to those who have already made notable contributions. From community management and open source code contributions to governance and educational content, this pool aims to nurture a truly global economy and protocol that invests in leapfrog nations and prosperity for all.
- PILOT $10,000 cUSD
New projects, yet to build and deploy a feasibility study, pilot, low-fidelity prototype, or MVP. Emphasis here is that this pool has a small ticket size for simply getting something off the ground. Applicants will be expected to deliver something to at least testnet (if technical) of a sufficient quality to potentially continue if the pilot is successful. At this stage, we are not expecting a fully-fledged project. Projects must open-source the code and communicate anything learned along the way. Priority will be given for public goods style projects over commercial enterprises (although the latter is not disqualifying, if it meets the application criteria).
- GROWTH $25,000 cUSD
Applications for this pool may be for incremental features for ecosystem mainstays or public goods, as long as all the standard application criteria are met. VC-funded, private, for-profit companies are not disqualified as a hard rule (these companies are often the best placed to deliver complex and high quality solutions) if they are clearly delivering something pivotal to the community.
If you miss this grant round don’t worry, we are currently trying to plan for future funding in 2025 for more chances to apply for a grant to help you grow the Celo ecosystem.
