Hi Will,
Thanks for sharing your perspective and for your continued commitment to the Celo ecosystem. We’re appreciative of the years you’ve spent with the community as a validator and founder of Grassroots Economics.
As Celo continues to evolve, we’re working to identify new ways for previous validators to continue contributing to the ecosystem where there is a clear and meaningful need. The active proposal to compensate Challengers is one example of this broader effort, and we expect that work to continue as additional opportunities for meaningful contribution take shape.
While the ecosystem has evolved over time, Celo’s core mission remains the same: creating the conditions of prosperity for all. That mission continues to guide how we think about growth, adoption, and support for builders across the network.
MiniPay is an important part of that strategy by helping onboard global users to Celo, but this is not the only factor driving forward the ecosystem. We continue to support a broad range of builders and use cases across Celo, and we agree that community conversation is an important part of shaping what comes next.
We welcome continued input from the ecosystem as we work together to define Celo’s next chapter.
