  • About Celo (CELO)

    CELO is a proof-of-stake (PoS) token used for transaction fees, governance participation, and related activities on the Celo blockchain ecosystem. It is also the most basic currency in its blockchain ecosystem, which can be used for exchanges or democratic elections. Holders of CELO coins can also vote to govern the Celo platform.


    How Celo CELO works

    At the heart of Celo is a proof-of-participation governance mechanism called Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT), which keeps a distributed network of computers in sync. In order for validator nodes to trigger the blockchain and vote on changes, users must first stake at least 10.000 CELO tokens, which means that anyone with CELO can help run the network.

    Celo's platform operates in three ways: First, Celo Network application can run on a user's mobile device, such as Celo's mobile wallet. Second, computers that participate in the Celo consensus mechanism, verify transactions and generate new blocks that can run the application. Finally, the computer that acts as a bridge between the validator node and the mobile wallet, receives requests from lightweight clients and forwards transactions to the validator node.

    The Celo blockchain ecosystem is the first company to use stablecoins as a medium of exchange and mobile wallets as a means of payment. Meanwhile, it has adapted its proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchain to optimize blocks for mobile synchronization, and its network's Gas fees can be paid in multiple currencies, thus accommodating users with multiple assets.


    What is Celo CELO?

    Celo is a blockchain-based decentralized stablecoin and financial application platform that enables everyone to conduct financial business globally through the ability to send payments to any phone number anywhere in the world. It focuses on increasing encryption usage among smartphone users.

    The blockchain ecosystem was founded in 2017 by executives Rene Reinsberg and Marek Olszewski of web hosting company GoDaddy, and MIT professors and Google executives Sep Kamvar and Marek Olszewski. It has notable investors including venture capital firms: a16z Crypto, General Catalyst and Social Capital.

    By using phone numbers as public keys, the Celo blockchain ecosystem hopes to incentivize billions of smartphone users around the world, including those without access to banking services, goods and cryptocurrency transactions.

    The Celo blockchain ecosystem consists of Celo Protocol - a proof-of-stake blockchain protocol that uses a simple phone number and email address as a public key, cUSD (Celo dollar) - a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar, Secured by a reserve of crypto assets, and Celo Developer Wallet - send, receive and exchange cUSD and CELO test tokens using a decentralized phone number verification.
