Hi Shipper,

Less than a week left to submit a project for Proof of Ship 7 and earn monthly builder rewards. Here are some tips to maximize your impact and improve your chances of earning.

Submission checklist

Your rewards are calculated by AI agents, community judges, and our Celo DevRel team based on the quality of your KarmaGAP project profile. You can see your current score at https://celo.builderscore.xyz/.

Specifically, we assess transaction count, user count, GitHub README & commits, quality of your demo video, and project milestones. 

To see your current score reflected, make sure you have created a Talent Protocol Profile and gotten a human checkmark.

Make sure you follow these steps for your KarmaGAP project:

• Sign up to the ‘Proof of Ship #7’ Program (Required): This is required to ensure your part of this month’s rewards.

• Select project tags (Optional): Select a track (Self, Mento, Mini Apps) to earn extra sponsored prizes.

• Add contract addresses: Our AI agent automatically tracks transaction volume on mainnet.

• Connect GitHub repository (Required): Our AI agent checks your project’s ReadMe, code quality, and git commits.

• Submit a 4-minute Demo video & Pitch Deck: Our community judges and Celo DevRel team use your demo video & pitch deck to assess their favorite monthly projects - should reflect the current status of your app. Old videos won’t be considered.

• Add website: Add a link to your website, so the judges can test the UX.

• Update Contact Details: For the reward payout, we will need each of your project members’ Farcaster accounts, so make sure your profile is updated, and your Farcaster Account is connected. See how to edit your profile here. Reach out to Lena on Telegram if you need a Farcaster invite.

• Add/ Update video: Update your video to reflect the newest changes to your projects.

• Add/ Update deck: Make sure to have a deck that represents your idea, includes a competitor analysis, presents your team, and touches on your business model.

Tips to be successful:

AI Agents are a big part of calculating your monthly rewards. Here’s the exact data points it uses to assess your project.

• Check your personalized Feedback: We have provided personalized feedback for your projects. Please make sure to review and consider it in this month's work.

• Project Description: The Agent uses your submitted problem, solution, and other project information to generate a summary about your project to send to ecosystem partners.

• Karma Gap Milestones: The Agent uses your milestone submissions to draft a summary of what you did this month.

• GitHub Repository: The Agent uses your ReadMe, code quality, and git commits to generate a “technical quality” score. 

  • Clean up any boilerplate code and versions, as it dilutes the actual code

  • Follow industry standards for the project architecture

  • The README should reflect the current state, so make sure what you mention there is also properly implemented. The agent will use this to verify the code.

• Contract Addresses: The Agent uses the transaction count and user count of deployed contract addresses on mainnet.
