So… What contributes to this explosive growth for the CELO?
Being a pioneer of mobile-first DeFi, CELO has brought home a unique concept that pushes easy crypto transacting access for smartphone users. In detail, it uses phone numbers as public keys and eliminates the need for banking access for the crypto trade.
The Celo network also lets users create smart contracts and DApps as part of its push towards DeFi. With its mainnet launched in April 2020, this year has seen the platform mature greatly while attracting large-scale user and institutional support.
Moreover, what adds to its attractiveness is that CELO in and of itself is a proof-of-stake (PoS) token. Not just this, but it is also used for transaction fees, governance, and upkeep of the Celo network. With more and more crypto networks moving to a PoS-based system, Celo emerges as a first that brings together ease of access as well as a less power-consuming protocol.
