Yes, there are rewards. But the real value of Proof of Ship is what you will build, who you will meet, and the reputation you will earn, all of which follow you well beyond the program. Your builder journey does not have to be lonely. It can be rewarding, exciting, and genuinely fun.
⚡️ Build Your onchain Reputation
Every month you ship, your activity becomes a public credential on Talent App, unlocking ecosystem opportunities well beyond Proof of Ship.
🌍 Build Alongside a Global Community
Connect with fellow builders across the world, share your progress, get support when you are stuck, and celebrate wins in a community that actually ships things.
🏆 Earn Monthly Rewards
Every month, Celo Public Goods distributes a $5,000 USDT prize pool to the Top 50 projects based on impact-driven metrics.
Top 11–50: Share the remaining 50% of the prize pool, also distributed proportionally to score.
You do not need a finished product to register. Start now, improve as you go, and let your progress do the talking. The leaderboard updates weekly, so there is always time to climb.
Head to talent.app and set up your Builder profile. This is your public onchain identity in the Celo ecosystem — it grows with you across every season.
Create your project on talent.app with the required information. You can add other contributors to your team as needed. Nothing needs to be finalized at this stage.
Enroll your project in the active Proof of Ship campaign on Talent App. Your leaderboard position updates every week as your project ships features and gains onchain traction.
The top 50 projects at the end of the month share the prize pool. Rewards are claimable directly through MiniPay. Keep your GitHub active, and your app live.
