Prezenti Boost Pool S2

Prezenti Boost Pool S2 is sponsored by Celo Foundation (in partnership with Prezenti). This pool is designed for projects with a proven track record in other ecosystems that aim to fast-track for deployment on Celo. The program offers a streamlined process and targeted, high-impact funding to accelerate onboarding.

grants ( @MayaRB , @Wade , @Thylacine ) Funding Category: Direct Grants Funding Request: $276,400 cUSD equivalent to 3,430,000 number of CELO tokens using the payment terms( see below ) Prezenti requests $276,400 cUSD from the Celo Community Treasury to continue operating Celo’s direct grants program through Season 2.

Combined with $70,000 in unspent Boost funds carried forward from Season 1, this provides $290,000 in grant capacity and $56,400 in operations funding — a 41% reduction from our Season 1 ask while maintaining execution capacity aligned with the network’s core intents. Our full Season 1 Retrospective Report is available here .

Key outcomes from Season 1 17 grants signed across Boost and Growth pools $130,000 deployed in grants + $200,000 strategic partnerships $86,790 rolled over to Season 2, of unspent operations and Season 2 Boost grant pool Strengthened collaboration with Celo DevRel and Ecosystem Growth teams Explored non-grant funding mechanisms, including a $200,000 strategic partnership (details to follow) Continued building of trust as a delivery partner with the Celo Foundation as we move into Season 2.

The Boost Pool - invite-only, sourced directly by Celo Foundation DevRel and Growth teams, proved effective for identifying teams already aligned with ecosystem priorities. Feedback loops were faster, and strategic alignment was stronger than open application rounds. The 10,000 daily transaction threshold introduced in Season 1 materially narrowed the eligible builder pool.

While this kept focus on teams demonstrating real usage, it limited our ability to serve early-stage builders. This tension was raised mid-season and discussed openly with the community and Foundation. We chose to maintain the thresholds for Season 1 to stay aligned with Foundation ambitions, but acknowledge the trade-off.

Grant throughput (17 vs. 23 target) reflected intentional prioritization of quality and intent-alignment over volume. Alignment with Season 2 Mandate The Season 2 announcement identified Prezenti as essential infrastructure: “Maintains strong builder momentum with clear, measurable outcomes, particularly for applications that can scale within MiniPay and drive transaction growth.

” This proposal delivers on that mandate with: Disciplined spending: 41% reduction from S1 ask Focused execution: Two pools, streamlined operations, single mid-season update Intent alignment: 100% focus on Transactions and TVL Flexibility: Ready to adapt criteria based on Tokenomics Initiative outcomes We recognize that broader funding mechanisms may evolve through the Tokenomics Initiative as Season 2 matures.

Prezenti is prepared to adjust grant structures based on community-led outcomes from that process as needed. Prezenti’s Season 2 Approach Season 2 operates under a clear mandate: focused execution on the two intents fundamental to Celo’s long-term health: growing transactions and growing TVL .

The Revenue Concentration Reality Analysis of mature L2 ecosystems reveals a consistent pattern: a small number of high-throughput, revenue-generating applications drive the overwhelming majority of sustainable chain economics. On leading L2s, it’s common for a single application category. Whether DEXs, prediction markets, or payments infrastructure account for 40–60% of total ecosystem revenue.

Networks that attract these anchor applications early compound their advantage through liquidity effects, user retention, and sustainable fee generation. The key differentiator is no longer technical. Arguably it has never been: its distribution.

MiniPay as Celo’s Distribution Layer For Celo, MiniPay is that distribution layer. As of January 2026, MiniPay has reached 12 Million wallets across 50 countries spanning Africa, Latin America, Asia, Europe, and North America. This is a payments-native, high-frequency user base that Celo has unique access to.

Mini apps that drive meaningful transaction volume within MiniPay generate revenue for themselves, for MiniPay, and for Celo. This creates a clear funding thesis: Teams with proven traction, particularly in payments, gaming, trading, or social, can leverage MiniPay’s distribution to scale rapidly while contributing to Celo’s transaction revenue and TVL growth.

We plan to prioritise funding for teams that can demonstrably drive transaction growth and increase TVL, with a specific focus on scaling within MiniPay. Applications must demonstrate verifiable traction, not vanity metrics.

Revenue-Generating Applications In alignment with Season 2’s focus on sustainable ecosystem growth, Prezenti plans to explicitly support applications that generate revenue for the chain, whether through transaction fees, sequencer revenue contribution, or other mechanisms. This extends beyond the existing intent framework to teams building durable, revenue-positive infrastructure. Invite-only, DevRel/Growth sourced.

Foundation-aligned teams. Open applications. Teams demonstrating traction toward intents, with funding based on set criteria.

Anchor grants: Stage-Based Criteria Similar to Season 1, funding is tied to demonstrable maturity and verifiable traction: Seed-stage or scaled products with traction Verifiable evidence of real usage (transactions, users, revenue) Clear path to generating meaningful transaction volume on Celo Product-market fit demonstrated elsewhere, or credible pilot results within MiniPay Teams slightly below Stage 2 funding thresholds may be considered where a proven track record and substantial evidence demonstrate imminent viability.

Applications gaming transaction counts without generating underlying value eg spamming micro USDT transfers to addresses with little previous history Projects without verifiable traction or credible usage evidence Teams that cannot articulate how they contribute to transaction growth or TVL Removed Scale pool ($50K grants) - consolidated into a single focused pool Simplified to two pools (Anchor and Boost), reducing operational complexity Doubled down on stage-based criteria to align funding with demonstrable maturity Maintained Celo Foundation DevRel integration for Boost sourcing Criteria to remain flexible pending guidance from the Tokenomics Initiative Boost pool active / Anchor round opens Contracts signed / grant activity begins Anchor applications close / Boost pool closes Season 2 close / Season 3 planning Boost (carryover from S1) Confirmed with DevRel as sufficient for S2 Open applications, $25K typical grant size Steward compensation and company admin Note on existing reserves: Prezenti maintains an operational buffer from prior rounds in its Admin Safe.

These funds are reserved for wind-down costs (tax reporting, legal, final disbursements) should future funding not be secured, and will be returned to the Treasury when Presenti ceases operations and all operational elements have been officially closed.

Note: in 2026 (anticipated midway through the year) the partnership funds disbursed in season 1 will be repaid to the treasury, amounting to $127,440 cUSD and the equivalent of 600,000 CELO.

We use a 90‑day rolling average to determine the price, which smooths out short‑term volatility and provides a fair valuation for grant disbursement. Based on this 90‑day average (November 14, 2025 – February 12, 2026), CELO is valued at approximately $0.

095 USD, implying that to fully cover the requested $276,400 USD budget, approximately 2,909,000–2,997,000 CELO would be required (including a ~3% buffer for price movement and execution). However, when testing a real swap on-chain using the cUSD/CELO pool, the executable rate is currently ~12. 05 CELO per 1 cUSD (≈$0.

083 per CELO). At this rate, approximately 3,329,000 CELO would be needed to realize the full $276,400 budget. We are therefore requesting 3,430,000 CELO, aligning with the current executable on‑chain rate plus a ~3% buffer for price movement.

Presenting both the 90‑day average and the real‑time executable price ensures transparency for governance and guarantees that the program is properly funded regardless of market depth or execution slippage. Any unused funds would be returned to the Community Fund and documented in a similar fashion to our Season 1 reporting . The team remains unchanged from Season 1, providing continuity and operational efficiency.

Update: CELO → USDm Swaps for Prezenti Season 2 Funding As per the governance proposal Prezenti Season 2 Funding Request (Direct Grants) , we have executed a series of swaps from CELO to USDm via Mento to operationalize the approved budget ($276,400). Below is a detailed breakdown of all tranche conversions, including amounts, rates achieved, and transaction references for transparency. Tranche 1: 200,000 CELO → 15,525.

Terminated grants (prior seasons carryover) The terminated grants funds from previous Prezenti seasons were used to bridge the delta between the requested funding amount and what was received from swaps. Any surplus remaining after Season 2 grant disbursements will be returned to the Community Fund. All swaps were executed via the Mento protocol to USDm.

Execution was spread across 17 tranches over ~4 weeks to manage liquidity and minimize slippage. We built in multiple buffers for liquidity constraints and price volatility, and executed transfers across an extended timeframe. Despite these measures, we were unable to fully meet the proposal’s USD target due to adverse market conditions and a declining CELO price during the execution period.

Terminated grant funds (~$20K) carried over from previous seasons were retained to supplement the Season 2 budget and partially offset the shortfall. All transactions are verifiable on-chain via the links above. We share this report to maintain full transparency with the community on the use of allocated funds.

Thank you to all contributors for supporting this process, and please feel free to raise any questions in this thread. A quick update from the @Prezenti. grants team You may have noticed that Charmverse, the tool we previously used for grant applications, has ceased trading and closed down.

We’ve now moved all grant applications over to Tally Froms(not the crypto governance platform) and the process is up and running. It’s straightforward to use and we hope the transition feels seamless for you. You can find the new application form here: https://frontier.
