The Celo Ecosystem Round will distribute up to 500,000 CELO to Projects in the Celo ecosystem during GG24 in June 2025.
The Celo Ecosystem Rounds merge the CeloRPGF0, which retroactively rewards projects building on Celo based on key metrics, and the Real World Builders program, a proactive donor-influenced grants program, into one unified program.
The Celo Ecosystem Rounds will be developed in collaboration with Gitcoin, which, as indicated in its 2025 strategy, is moving to multi-mechanism rounds where different allocation mechanisms that are increasingly data-driven, allowing for AI Agent automation are used depending on the type and stage of projects.
