🟡 Celo is a blockchain ecosystem with a mission to build a regenerative digital economy that creates conditions of prosperity for all.
🟡 Public Goods (PG) are those that are available to all and can be enjoyed over and over again by anyone. In the context of Celo, these are projects and initiatives contributing to the well-being and prosperity of the Celo community and ecosystem.
🟡 With the passing of
CGP115, Celo Public Good Stewards were elected to streamline the distribution of a
Celo Public Goods Budget for the first half of this year (H1 2024).
In alignment with Celo’s mission of creating a regenerative digital economy with conditions for prosperity for all, for this initial program we aim to channel support to projects and initiatives across three key Celo Public Goods verticals:
🌱 Celo ReFi: Projects on Celo that support or directly enable real-world impact and ecological benefits.
🌱 Celo dApps and Infra: Celo dApps and infrastructure that directly impact a wide array of Celo users and stakeholders.
🌱 Celo Community, Education & Adoption: Non-software projects that help push Celo forward - educational resources, creating content, growing communities, onboarding users, and supporting Celo governance.
The current Celo PG budget includes the allocation of 125,000 cUSD and 250,000 CELO through an integrated set of
Quadratic Funding (QF) and
Retroactive Public Goods Funding (RPGF) rounds in H1 2024. Current planned rounds are as follows:
🎯 Celo RPGF Round 0 (250,000 CELO) - Apr 1st - May 24th
Learn More 🎯 GG21 Celo dApp Ecosystem Round (50k cUSD) - June
🎯 GG21 Celo Community, Education & Adoption Round (25k cUSD) - June
