What Is Celo (CELO)?
Celo is a mobile-first blockchain for decentralized finance (DeFi) tools and services.
Since mobile phones are more widely used than computers, Celo hopes to reach out to more people through its platform and offer DeFi benefits. Currently, some six billion smartphones are estimated to be in circulation. The project started in 2017, but the mainnet was launched in 2020. It allows developers to create smart contracts and DApps.
Celo was founded by a highly talented group of people from MIT, Stanford, Google, World Bank, Federal Reserve Bank, Harvard University, Cambridge University, US Justice Department, Bank of America, and the Gates Foundation, among others.
Celo Foundation, a non-profit organization in the US, manages the open-source platform. It contributes to various activities, like education, environment, community, technical research, and ecosystem outreach to encourage inclusivity in finance.
The network is secured by a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism and uses a complex election process to determine its blockchain validators.
