Celo is a permissionless blockchain designed to foster a more inclusive financial system while maintaining a carbon-negative status. It aims to make blockchain technology accessible to anyone with a mobile phone, catering to a global audience. The Celo ecosystem consists of a decentralized proof-of-stake blockchain (Celo platform), the CELO governance asset, and several stable assets like cUSD, cEUR, and cREAL, which facilitate the use of digital assets. Launched on Earth Day 2020, Celo emphasizes environmental sustainability and supports diverse projects worldwide, aiming to create conditions that promote prosperity.
Celo utilizes a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism, which consumes significantly less energy than proof-of-work systems, contributing to its carbon-negative footprint. The platform supports the CELO governance token and ERC-20 stable assets that are used to cover transaction fees. Celo's mobile-first design includes the Plumo light-client syncing mechanism, allowing mobile and low-resource users to sync to the blockchain using minimal data. It also maps encrypted phone numbers to wallet addresses, simplifying blockchain transactions for users at all experience levels. This infrastructure seeks to enhance accessibility and broaden participation in the Celo ecosystem.
