Proof of Ship Returns Next Month!
We know many of you have been waiting for this. Proof of Ship (with a monthly prize pool of 5,000 USD₮) is returning in April for a brand new season, the first of 2026.
Now is the perfect time to get ready. Use these final days of March to wrap up your current build, document what you've shipped, and show up to April's sprint with momentum. Builders who come in with a solid foundation will be able to move fast and increase their chances of earning rewards.
More details on dates and structure coming very soon. Stay tuned!
We are constantly inspired by what this community ships. Every submission, every experiment, every agent deployed on Celo. It all matters. Now, go finish your submission.
