Strategic Grant For Accelerating Celo Ecosystem Adoption Across Africa

Hi folks,

Will (CEO of impactMarket) here - just chiming in.

Overall, supportive this proposal and think that anchoring around MiniPay as a distribution channel could be very useful for many of the projects for the Celo ecosystem.

Speaking personally from impactMarket, which was the first dApp included in MiniPay at launch, we’ve seen a lot of success and traction, including 22K active users over the last two months, without any active promotion. I see this increasing substantially as MiniPay grows and as we launch additional campaigns.

I do have some questions / suggestions to improve the proposal. Are the $5.6M in funds earmarked specifically for MiniPay / Opera - or will some of these be available for dApp developers as well for our joint marketing efforts?

Also I’d like to see additional KPIs to answer “what does success look like” from this proposal. I’d propose milestones for this grant be a combination of time and hitting certain KPIs so we can ensure that funds are well spent.
