Celo - Proof of Ship

Instructions for submitting your project for Celo - Proof of Ship program

Proof-of-Ship is a monthly contest that rewards builders for actively building on Celo. The impact metrics in your Karma project profile are used to automtically calculate builder rewards, which you can claim each month here.

Before creating a project profile, ensure you have:

- A wallet compatible with the Celo network, such as Rabby, Rainbow, MetaMask

- You need CELO tokens to pay for transactions. If you don't have any CELO tokens, Karma platform will sponsor your first 5 transactions. You will claim tokens in the project creation flow.
