What is Celo (CELO)?

Celo aims to build a fast, affordable, and scalable blockchain. The name Celo means "purpose" in Esperanto, and hints at the blockchains bigger vision. Launched publicly in 2020 after four years of development, the blockchain wants to bring digital money to everyone, regardless of the tech they use or the sophistication of the banking system they live in. For that, Celo tries to solve two problems: Reduce the technical knowledge typically needed to use crypto, and avoid crypto's strong value fluctuations. And it does all that while being carbon negative.

Cryptohunt's Opinion

Our take on Celo

We think Celo has a lot going for itself. Crypto today has many issues to overcome to go mainstream and Celo is solving three of them already: Using your phone number instead of cryptic wallet addresses makes it much easier to send money. Three interchangeable stable coins make everyday purchases feasible. And the underlying technology is modern enough to support large amounts of transactions with low fees, and all that while having a positive impact on the planet. If we compare that to Bitcoin and Ethereum, the big two, Celo is already a big improvement in theory. Those others are slow, expensive, hard to use, and planet-killers. Our worry, like with all other promising Ethereum competitors, is that Celo faces fierce competition on the way to the top. Disclaimer: Celo is an investor in cryptohunt through Flori Ventures. Regardless of our relationship with creators, we always promise you an honest take on every project and full disclaimers.
