Prezenti Season 3 grants for Celo builders
Prezenti Season 3 funds Celo projects through Frontier grants of up to $15,000 for AI and agent infrastructure and Anchor grants for products with traction. Applications close 29 December 2026.
Prezenti Season 3 is the current round of the direct grants program for the Celo ecosystem, run by Prezenti under Celo governance. The application window runs from 12 August to 29 December 2026. Prezenti says grant funding in this season should produce outcomes that the Celo community can check for itself.
There are three pools. Frontier funds AI and agent economy infrastructure deployed on Celo, such as agent identity, payment rails between agents, developer tooling and verification systems. In the Season 3 plan, Frontier grants are capped at $15,000. Anchor is for proven products that can grow daily transactions, TVL, MiniPay use or chain revenue on Celo. Boost is referral only, for teams named by Prezenti, Celo Core contributors or Celo Developer Relations.
Frontier applicants need a working deployment on Celo mainnet with onchain activity, a clear plan for the first 10 to 100 agents or users, and an ERC-8004 registration for agent projects. Anchor applicants must show at least 5,000 daily transactions as a two week average on any chain, with contracts and addresses that others can check.
Applications go through Tally forms: frontier.prezenti.xyz for Frontier and anchor.prezenti.xyz for Anchor. Applicants also need an up to date KarmaGAP profile and a Celo L2 address for payments. Grants are paid 20% at signing and 80% after milestones are verified.
Prezenti says it will not fund low effort projects whose claims cannot be verified, and it asks applicants to pick the pool that fits the project as it is today.
