What is Celo?

Celo is a blockchain that makes mobile cryptocurrency payments easier. With Celo, users can easily make transactions via a mobile app without needing to understand the intricacies of blockchains. Just like Ethereum, Celo uses the Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism and supports its own token, CELO, as well as several stablecoins like cUSD and cEUR. These stablecoins are pegged to the US dollar and the euro.

Additionally, Celo is a CO2-negative blockchain, meaning it offsets more carbon than it emits. It achieves this by using an energy-efficient Proof-of-Stake consensus and by investing in projects that reduce CO2 emissions (such as planting new trees).

How does Celo work?

Unlike other blockchains, Celo uses an innovative system where phone numbers are used as public keys. The blockchain is designed to make it easier for users to send and receive crypto.

The CELO token serves as the governance and utility token for the Celo network. Users can vote on network updates and other blockchain changes with this token. Additionally, stablecoins like cUSD and cEUR, pegged to the US dollar and euro, are used on the network to reduce volatility.

The Celo Foundation plays a key role in supporting the Celo ecosystem. This non-profit organization promotes the mission of Celo, encourages the adoption of its technology, and collaborates with various partners to expand its impact worldwide.

Who are the founders of Celo?

Celo was founded in 2017 by Rene Reinsberg, Marek Olszewski, and Sep Kamvar. Reinsberg and Olszewski are both MIT alumni, and they had previously worked together on Locu, a tech company later acquired by GoDaddy. Kamvar has extensive experience with distributed systems (like blockchain tech and peer-to-peer networks) and cryptography. He’s a computer scientist and former MIT professor.

Together, they envisioned promoting financial inclusion and making blockchain technology more accessible. This vision led to the creation of Celo: a user-friendly, sustainable, and accessible platform that gives millions of unbanked people access to the digital economy.
