It’s Ultragreen Week!
It’s Ultragreen Week! Celebrating Celo’s Three-Year Anniversary on Earth Day - Did you know that Earth Day 2023 marks Celo’s 3-year mainnet anniversary? To celebrate, we’re excited to kick-off the official launch of Ultragreen Week! Created in collaboration with the broader Celo community, Ultragreen Week is a coordinated movement featuring five days of collective action on Celo inspired by Ultragreen Money and the various use cases that leverage web3 innovation to unlock climate action at scale. So why web3? As a powerful mass-coordination tool, blockchain can be used to accelerate planet-positive funding and solutions for the world’s mass-coordination problems, like the climate crisis, in order for us to reach the UN SDG’s goal of net-zero emissions by 2050. Together, we aim to showcase the power of collective on-chain action each day this week to inspire ongoing and lasting change every day throughout the year and beyond. From Monday through Saturday, we’ll highlight a different call to action across Celo’s ecosystem, as web3’s “Home of ReFi” (or regenerative finance). It is our hope that you’ll join us in sharing these projects, diving deeper into our ReFi ecosystem, take meaningful action, and encourage your network to do the same. To get started, claim our custom-designed Ultragreen Week POAP via MintToast, digital credentials meant to show off your regen cred! For every POAP minted, the Celo...

UltraGreen Money
Ultragreen Money — Celo’s Expanded Sustainability Commitment - Blockchains cannot exist at scale without a commitment to sustainability. This belief contributed foundationally to not only the Celo mission to “reimagine money for the greater good” but also in its architecture as a leading sustainability-focused blockchain. The Celo blockchain launched on Earth Day 2020, with the focus on setting an example of what a green blockchain could look like, introducing the first major Proof-of-Stake, carbon-negative Layer 1. Celo went further than just eliminating Proof-of-Work. The Celo protocol was the first to automatically offset its carbon footprint since its first block. It does this by sending CELO every day to an on-chain Carbon Offset Fund. Over the past three years, sustainability has become a rapidly growing focus across the industry. On September 15th, 2022, the Ethereum community took a major step forward in completing the long-awaited “Merge” from Proof-of-Work (PoW), joining Celo and other next-generation blockchains in using Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus. This event led to widespread coverage on the change’s impact in drastically reducing Ethereum’s carbon footprint but left the outstanding question of – “What’s the next chapter for sustainability?” Today, cLabs, a leading contributor to the Celo technology stack, is excited to introduce our answer to that question — “Ultragreen Mo...

The Next Chapter: Introducing Celo 2.0 | by cLabs
In 2018, the Celo whitepaper set out an ambitious vision to reimagine money for the greater good. Five years on, we’re proud to see the Celo ecosystem thriving and delivering on that vision. Celo Mainnet, a carbon-negative EVM-compatible blockchain, was launched by the community on Earth Day 2020. Now, easy-to-use payments flow through the platform daily, sent directly to mobile numbers. Mento assets that track the US Dollar, Euro, and Brazilian Real make stable-value transfers simple, especially since they can be used to pay transaction fees. Community currencies like the Kolektivo Guilder and Resource Dollar circulate in communities. A growing number of these currencies are now backed in part by natural capital thanks to a growing Regenerative Finance (ReFi) ecosystem. Projects delivering UBI and social dividends including ImpactMarket and GoodDollar have disbursed $3.3M to 536,000 people across 26 emerging economies. All of this is coupled with a rich DeFi and growing NFT ecosystem that continues to thrive and attract builders and users to the platform. It’s now time to enter chapter two of Celo’s story! The Celo Evolution — For Builders At cLabs, we are the leading contributor to the Celo technology stack. Celo’s mission — to create the conditions for prosperity, for everyone — drives everything we do. More than ever, achieving this mission requires delivering a platform that unlocks builders t...

Building With Purpose: Year in Review From Celo Foundation President, Rene Reinsberg
Season’s greetings from the Celo Foundation! To our community of builders, founders, partners, and friends, thank you for your continued collaboration and dedication to the mission of creating the conditions for prosperity — for everyone. Suffice it to say, 2022 has been a year of unprecedented challenges, not just for the web3 industry, but for the world. While it’s no surprise that the path to transforming our global financial systems for the better would be hard, rest assured that our commitment to the mission remains steadfast. We have faced cascading crises from extreme weather events to the adverse, inflationary effects of a years-long pandemic, and while it felt like we were nearing a return to something resembling post-pandemic normality, the world woke up to a destructive war in Ukraine, which accelerated a global recession. A failure of institutions that could have been a shining moment for web3 was, instead, an ugly reminder that those same centralized institutions and power structures we sought to transform continue to rear their heads — 3AC, Celsius, and FTX’s respective collapses have shaken the foundations of what we have been building as an industry. (NB: While Celo and its ecosystem did not have any direct exposure to these events, our hearts go out to those who were and remain affected.) But it’s not all doom and gloom. Now more so than ever, we at the Celo Foundation believe in creating a...

Announcing Kuneco Changes & New Celo Block Party
Kuneco (“togetherness” in Esperanto) was born in July 2020 to create a virtual gathering space to strengthen the community spirit of Celo members while celebrating wins toward our mission and uplifting community voices. After logging 16 meetings — and some community feedback, we recognized a need to fork Kuneco. As a result, we are now announcing a new, virtual, quarterly event called Celo Block Party, with Kuneco evolving into a community-run town hall supported by the Celo Foundation. — Kuneco Evolved - Time: One hour Cadence: Monthly Engagement: Community-Driven Goal: To facilitate togetherness for the Celo Community Facilitated by: Celo Foundation Community Leads Anna Kryukova and Daniel Olarte This new Kuneco call will inspire togetherness for the Celo Community and deep dive into topics about the Celo ecosystem’s growth and development, ultimately serving the Foundation’s goal of progressive decentralization. Potential topics for discussion include: cLabs’ and the Celo Foundation’s respective roadmaps to support the Celo ecosystem, Governance and collaborating with CGP editors on pressing issues, Frameworks for decentralization, including applying for on-chain funding, Grassroots organization of regional ecosystems, providing a space for community builders to come together and exchange learnings, Independent entities that are growing to support the Celo Ecosystem, e.g., Prezenti, Climate Coll...

 | Celo Votes To Increase Minimum Gas Threshold
Celo, a mobile-focused smart contracting platform compatible with Ethereum’s virtual machine, is voting on a proposal to increase the network’s minimum gas threshold.
Voting for Celo Governance Proposal 0066 started today, Wednesday, January 18, and ends on Friday, January 27. As of the time of writing, the turnout stands at 2.6% of the total supply, with 6,840,826 CELO locked as votes.
Out of this, 6,840,116 CELO supports the proposal, 620 CELO is against the idea, and 90 CELO are voting to abstain. CELO is the native currency of the Celo proof-of-stake smart contracting platform based on the PBFT consensus mechanism.
The Celo Governance Proposal 0066
The proposal seeks to increase the minimum gas threshold to $0.001 for simple ERC-20 transactions. Unlike Ethereum, where gas fees must be paid in ETH only, in Celo, users can pay using ERC-20 currencies, not just CELO. Gas fees are paid to prevent Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks.
Like Ethereum, the gas fee structure in Celo adopts the proposals under EIP-1559. As EIP-1559 stipulates, there must be a gas price minimum that applies to all Celo transactions. This minimum fee applies regardless of the validator processing the transaction. It also fluctuates depending on demand. Celo has clarified that should the proposal pass, only the base fee will be impacted.
Under the Celo Governance Proposal 0066, the validator rewards from the gas fee will not be affected. Celo added that though the base f...
|  | Celo Sees 20% Gains In Last Week As The Broader Crypto Market Retreats
CELO's price is currently at $0.6101, with a trading volume of $44,775,558. It is currently ranked number 97 on CoinMarketCap. The trading volume has decreased by over 73% in the last 24 hours.
CELO shocked many market observers with a 33.51% price jump on Sunday and had a trading volume of $227,794,699.69. Although the token is still way off its all-time high of $10.68, it has shown signs of recovery.
2022 has been an eventful year in crypto circles, from XRP's lawsuit with the SEC to the collapse of Celius and FTX. Pessimism has also driven the prices of crypto assets down as the fear factor increases.
CELO coin has defied the odds to go on a rally that has holders hopeful of potential gains. From its historical price movement, it remains to see how far this momentum can hold.
What Is Behind CELO’s Recent Price Upsurge? CELO's innovative cryptocurrency system gives the project an edge in the prevailing bearish cryptocurrency market. CELO targets increasing crypto use among smartphone users.
With the number of smartphone users rising daily, it is easy to understand why it is gaining in the market.
The proof of stake mechanism adopted by the project developers also makes it more energy efficient and future-inclined. The current value of the CELO network is directly proportional to efforts from network builders, the fanbase, and investors.
Also, Bitcoin has recently seen a slow and steady increase in its valuation. Judging from history and Bitcoin's dominance, it ...
|  | Funds Are Safe But Celo Network Stalled Again After Briefly Resuming
According to the tweet by the blockchain payments infrastructure, the validators of the network were working to identify and resolve the issue and asserted that no funds had been compromised.
Celo block production did resume briefly before stalling again. The downtime does not appear to have affected the blockchain's native token, CELO, which is slightly in the green on a daily scale.
In its latest update, Celo Network tweeted,
'Validators are working to restart the network. Block production resumed briefly, however, stalled again. Validators, please join the validators-operators channel on Discord and follow the posted instructions to update your node. As previously stated, all funds are secure.'
While the team behind Celo hasn't mentioned that the deployment on Uniswap v3 could be the factor, the sudden downtime occurred shortly after the update took place.
The Celo Foundation recently announced the launch of Uniswap V3 and green-asset pools after the community approved the deployment of v3 onto the blockchain.
The main aim is to advance a regenerative financial (ReFi) system and currencies supported by natural capital on Celo.
An initiative called 'DeFi for the People' by the Celo Foundation had pledged a sum of $10 million to support ReFi liquidity. The idea is to develop DeFi products and services promoting regenerative rather than extractive economy and spur adoption of the pools on Uniswap V3.
In April, Celo launched an incentive program worth $20 million for the ne...
|  | Huobi Incubator Partners Celo to Promote Stablecoins for the Masses
[PRESS RELEASE - Please Read Disclaimer]
Huobi Incubator, the project incubation arm of Huobi Global, today announced that it will co-host Celo x Huobi: Stablecoin in Web3 & Sustainability hackathon with Celo, a mobile-first blockchain that makes decentralized financial (DeFi) tools and services accessible to anyone with a mobile phone. The partnership aims to spur stablecoin development in the Web3 field in order to achieve long-term sustainability. This hackathon, to be held from April 27 to June 24, is offering prizes worth a total of US$1 million including a prize pool worth US$500,000 and US$500,000 in venture funding for all winners.
As a mobile-first blockchain that makes decentralized financial (Defi) tools and services accessible to anyone with a mobile phone, Celo aims to break down barriers in the financial space by bringing the powerful benefits of Defi to the users of the 6 billion smartphones in circulation today. Celo hosted a 'make crypto mobile' hackathon last year, with more than 2,300 developers participating. Three payment dApps, 21yieldhe, EFFisend, and Xeggo showcased innovation and creativity to emerge as winners in last year’s hackathon.
The upcoming hackathon aims to link stablecoins with dApps, DAOs, and DeFi in Web3. Therefore, three challenge categories have been set as follows: the first challenge focuses on building stablecoin related financial solutions on Celo, with a focus on expanding the use of Celo Dollar (cUSD) to emerging markets wi...
|  | Biggest Movers: CELO, LUNA Higher, ZIL Moves Over 15% Lower
Despite the global cryptocurrency market cap mainly consolidating on Tuesday, LUNA and CELO were some of the session's biggest gainers. ZIL, on the other hand, continued to fall following recent highs, trading over 15% lower during today's session.
CELO
ZIL fell for a fourth straight session on Tuesday, as prices continue to slip away from last week's high of $0.2313.
While ZIL fell by almost 13% today, CELO gained by almost the same percentage, climbing to its highest level in almost four months in the process.
Following a low of $3.68 to start the week, CELO/USD rallied to a high of $5.19 in Tuesday's market session.
This is the highest level CELO has traded at since January 13, as prices continued to fall from a high of over $6.00.
Looking at the chart, today's gains somewhat eased as prices neared the resistance level of $5.20, a level which has historically birthed a high level of uncertainty.
CELO is also currently overbought according to the 14-day RSI, which is currently tracking at 76.31.
This could give bears further impetus to enter the market at this level, in a similar fashion to the selloff that occurred in mid-January.
Terra (LUNA)
LUNA rallied to a new record high during today's session, as it moved past ADA to cement itself as the world's seventh-largest cryptocurrency.
Following a low of $109.94 on Monday, LUNA/USD surged to an intraday high of $119.18 on Tuesday, which is its highest price on record.
Tuesday's record high comes less than a week remov...
|  | CELO Skyrockets to 3-Month High After Launching $20 Million Incentive Pr...
CELO's price went up by more than 60% since the start of April to its highest point in over three months. This comes amid the project's latest initiative that plans to spend $20 million to incentivize the development of Celo on- and off-ramps.
Celo's Connect the World Project
The announcement from earlier this week informed that the Celo Foundation had allocated $20 million for the new Connect the World campaign. The main focus is to invest in teams and projects wanting to develop 'high-quality Celo on- and off-ramps around the globe.'
Additionally, Celo also introduced an open-source API specification for payment providers dubbed FiatConnect. It aims to simplify the integration process.
The campaign started with a $50,000 offer to the first payment provider in each country to incorporate FiatConnect and 'demonstrate an on- and off-ramp that meets the quality bar.'
'The Foundation will also subsidize on-ramp fees of up to $100,000 for all providers, making it more affordable for users to access Celo assets.'
The new initiative will work together with the three stablecoins launched by the Celo Foundation - cUSD, pegged to the US dollar, cEuro - which tracks the value of the euro, and cREAL - which tracks the value of the Brazilian real.
CELO Taps 3-Month High
The price of the project's native cryptocurrency began the year on a high note by surging to and beyond $6. However, the market-wide correction drove Celo south, which culminated in a low of $2 registered in late February...
