Existence of rigid symmetric monoidal categorifications of algebraic closures of finite fields

Let pp be a prime. A rigid symmetric monoidal bZdb\mathbb{Z}d-linear category is a rigid symmetric monoidal category enriched over bZdb\mathbb{Z}d-modules; write K0(C)K_0(C) for its Grothendieck ring, and let bFpdb\overline{\mathbb{F}}_pd denote the algebraic closure of the finite field with pp elements. Existence conjecture. For each prime pp, there exists a rigid symmetric monoidal bZdb\mathbb{Z}d-linear category CC such that

K0(C)Fp.K_0(C) \cong \overline{\mathbb{F}}_p.

A positive solution would remove the characteristic-zero assumption on the minimal primes in the functorial categorification result and extend its method to the corresponding positive-characteristic case. The supplied context does not state whether this conjecture has been resolved.
