We are pleased to announce the second cohort of Prezenti Grants. It is extremely exciting to see projects new and old thriving in the Celo ecosystem. Here is a rundown of the projects given grants in cohort 2:

Inclusive blockchain for Africa (ib4a)

Inclusive Blockchain for Africa (IB4A) is a project under Decentralized Future in Motion Lab Limited to educate technical and non-technical individuals on the possibilities of blockchain technology. They expose non-technical people to blockchain fundamentals and train technical individuals on how to build decentralized applications on the Celo blockchain. So far they have trained over thirty developers on building DApps on the Celo blockchain using solidity.

Their goal with Prezenti support is to train one thousand developers on building DApps on the Celo blockchain using available tools from Celo.

ImpactMarket

Impact Market is an open protocol that unlocks access to finance and unconditional basic income to almost 50K beneficiaries from ~30 developing countries living in 220+ very vulnerable communities.

The objective of this funding is to develop a combination of mechanisms to drive inflow of funds without the need for "traditional" donations, increasing the economic impact multiplier while enabling UBI to scale sustainability as a way to drive significant adoption and retention.

DappLooker

This project is to work closely with the Celo Dapps, integrate their contracts/subgraphs on our platform, and launch their analytics solutions. Dapps data and dashboards will be available for community analytics.

They are aiming to onboard 15 current and future Celo Dapps and five network tokens.

Most of these dapps need premium features such as export to CSV, embedding on their website, API with higher rate limits, user retention dashboards, and more.
