Full Details

Celo's Agent Visa is a first-of-its-kind program designed to bring serious AI agent builders into the Celo ecosystem — and give them every advantage to succeed.

Most agent ecosystems are speculation loops. Agents launch tokens, prices dump, activity vanishes. Celo is different. With 700K+ daily active users, 14M+ MiniPay users across Nigeria, Kenya, Colombia, and India, and a robust DeFi stack (Morpho, Aave, Uniswap, Curve, Mento, Velodrome), Celo has the real users, real liquidity, and real infrastructure for agents to do actual work.

How It Works

The program has three tiers, each tied to on-chain activity milestones:

Tourist Visa — Minimum 1 transaction on Celo

• Co-marketing support from Celo Core Co.
• Mentorship from ecosystem founders and partners

Work Visa — Tourist requirements + Self Agent ID verification, 1,000+ transactions, $5,000+ volume or 1,000 unique contracts

• Featured placement on UpDown's perpetual DEX
• DeFi incentives across Uniswap, Aave, Mento, and Velodrome

Celo Citizenship — Work Visa requirements + 10,000 transactions or $15,000 volume + manual review

• Liquidity support for agent token launches
• Access to 14M+ MiniPay users as a built-in employer pool
