As the Celo ecosystem is about to enter its next phase with the launch of CEL2 in January, CeloPG is excited to host the second Retroactive Public Goods Funding (RPGF) program: The Celo Citizen Retro. This round aims to recognize and reward individual contributions to the Celo ecosystem until December 20th, 2024.
The program will allocate 250,000 CELO to individuals in two phases. Phase one will leverage EasyRPGF to identify citizen contributions and allocate up to 200,000 CELO based on CeloPG stewards and Celo delegates voting. Phase two will see an additional 50,000 CELO allocated to Celo Citizens based on their meaningful onchain participation measured through a version of Prosperity Account developed by CeloPG. Read on to learn about the program.
Important Program Dates
Application Submissions: Friday, December 20th - Wednesday, January 8th (8PM UTC)
Review Period: Thursday, January 9th - Monday, January 14th
Voting Period: Tuesday, January 15th - Monday, January 21st

Celo Citizen Retro Round Eligibility
We identify a Celo Citizen as any individual who has contributed meaningfully to the Celo Ecosystem, helping to realize Celo’s mission of a regenerative digital economy with conditions for prosperity for all. Through Celo Citizen Retro, we aim to reward efforts that go above and beyond an individual's role or mandate.
Research & Development: Creation of open-source tools, research, onchain solutions, and innovative technical contributions that advance Celo’s mission of building a regenerative digital economy.
Governance: Active involvement in shaping Celo’s future by participating in forum discussions, governance meetings, and casting onchain votes.
Community & Adoption: Efforts to promote Celo’s growth through education, onboarding, marketing, organizing events, building strong communities, and other efforts that foster network adoption and engagement.
Each individual who has made a meaningful contribution in one or more of these categories is allowed to apply for the Celo Citizen Retro Round. See the Celo Forum post for more details and examples of specific behaviors that will be rewarded.
How to apply for Phase 1: EasyRPGF
Formal applications will be accepted in the EasyRPGF app from Friday, December 20th - Wednesday, January 8th (8 PM UTC). About 24 hours before the round goes live, this blog will be updated with the application link and a best practices guide.
A glimpse into Phase 2: Meaningful onchain participation
After completing the first phase, Celo contributors can earn additional rewards by creating their Prosperity Account and showcasing their meaningful onchain activity. In January, users can create their Prosperity Account, a Celo-specific Smart Account built on Safe that allows them to claim Badges based on their meaningful onchain activity. Users can level up their account by claiming additional badges. Up to 50,000 CELO will be distributed based on the Prosperity Account levels on the snapshot date, estimated to occur around the end of January.
The Citizen Retro Round Thread on the Celo Forum provides an overview of the activities guaranteed to be included in the first snapshot, with more activities announced in the coming weeks.
A regenerative digital economy for all
Celo’s mission is to build a regenerative digital economy that creates conditions of prosperity for all. Creating collective wealth and supporting all builders equitably is integral to the Celo vision. By nurturing individuals who contribute to the well-being of the Celo ecosystem through the Celo Citizen Retro, we contribute to creating a digital economy that can coordinate towards critical real-world change.
If you’re interested in helping shape the regenerative digital economy, consider this your invitation to join the Celo ecosystem. CeloPG will ensure that your contributions are acknowledged and rewarded.
