About
Celo (CELO)

Celo (CELO) is a mobile-first blockchain platform focused on increasing cryptocurrency adoption among smartphone users, thereby fostering financial inclusion worldwide. Its core technology is designed to make digital assets and decentralized applications (dApps) easily accessible, particularly in emerging markets. The Celo network employs a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, ensuring network security and enabling on-chain governance. A key distinguishing feature is its innovative address-based identity layer, which allows users to map phone numbers to wallet addresses, simplifying peer-to-peer transactions and enhancing user experience. Celo is EVM-compatible, facilitating the deployment of smart contracts and the growth of its DeFi ecosystem.

The platform hosts a family of stablecoins, such as cUSD (Celo Dollar) and cEUR (Celo Euro), which are pegged to fiat currencies and collateralized by a diversified basket of crypto assets, including the native utility token, CELO. The CELO token itself plays a crucial role in the network's tokenomics, used for participating in governance decisions, paying transaction fees on the decentralized network, and for staking to secure the blockchain and earn rewards. Celo’s architecture includes an ultralight client, optimized for mobile devices with limited bandwidth, and it notably positions itself as a carbon-negative blockchain. Celo aims to be a foundational Web3 infrastructure for building a more inclusive and accessible financial system, leveraging blockchain technology for social impact and real-world utility.
