We Don’t Usually Send Emails Like This 👀
MiniPay, Proof of Ship, $5K rewards, and an AMA with Celo Nigeria
Hey Shipper 👋
You know we don’t usually send emails outside the regular Monday drops. 👀
But this one is worth interrupting your inbox for.
0xShip HQ is collaborating with Celo Nigeria for a live AMA on:
Building MiniApps in MiniPay: The Distribution Channel of the Next Era
If you’re a builder, founder, or developer trying to understand where the next real distribution opportunity is in Web3, this is a conversation you should not miss.
MiniPay already gives builders instant access to over 15 million active mobile wallets, and the Celo ecosystem is actively funding teams building consumer-facing apps right now.
That includes:
Proof of Ship → a monthly $5,000 reward pool for builders actively shipping on Celo (Includes a brand new $1,000 track for AI Agents)
Prezenti Grants → $5k–$25k equity-free grants for projects that already have an MVP, traction, or real users
Additional ecosystem support for MiniApps that are a strong fit for MiniPay distribution
During the AMA, we’ll discuss:
What kinds of apps Celo is actively looking for
How to start building MiniApps quickly
How to use Celopedia (Celo’s AI skill and ecosystem intelligence - celopedia.celo.org) to build apps in 2hours, brainstorm mini-app ideas, write smart contracts, verify data sources, and get recommendations for MiniPay fit ideas
How Proof of Ship works
How to position your app for grants and ecosystem support
Common mistakes builders make early
You do NOT need a finished product to get started.
One of the easiest entry points right now is joining Proof of Ship, connecting your GitHub, and shipping publicly while building your MVP.
To make onboarding easier, a full builder guide was created for this AMA:
