To create a truly inclusive financial system, we started by building an infrastructure to serve those excluded from the current system. Celo’s protocol includes unique features that create a seamless user experience on mobile phones.
White Paper
Celo is a proof-of-stake based blockchain with smart contracts. The technology uses a phone number-based identity system with address-based encryption and eigentrust-based reputation.
Celo’s stablecoins are stable value currencies, implemented by an algorithmic reserve-backed stabilization mechanism. The first stablecoin, cUSD, is pegged to the US Dollar.
