Since Ethereum is Queen in this palace (crypto space), almost all projects that want to command mass adoption must make avenue for Ethereum smart contract compatibility.If a Blockchain is EVM compatible, then it's easy for Solidity devs to build on it.It can run Solidity codes with minimal modifications. POS, proof of Stake + BFT POS is a consensus mechanism that is Byzantine Fault Tolerant.BFT means Byzantine Fault Tolerance.It refers to a consensus that can tolerate 1/3 of the validators or nodes being malicious......

Definitive Definition

Mobile first identity.In the Blockchain space, Celo is known for its Mobile-centric approach. Its goals is to ensure that end-users both ignorant and informed are able to appreciate Blockchain technology through transactional inclusion. Hence, there wouldn't be a need for traditional banking institutions when Celo is massively adopted.Carbon offsetting fund, account that receives epoch rewards (funds) to offset the cost of carbon used up bet hardware in Celo. On-chain governance is used to determine the account that holds this fund always.¹²C → Carbon

Mobile • ¹²C OFund

...Now this is the brilliant solution offered by Celo to tackle that issue : Conventional nodes will do their work —validating transactions and taking note of ALL state changes, while ultra light clients will reside in the Mobile phones of users, using anyone of Celo's dApp, to communicate with nodes in the mainnet. ULC will not hold all the state changes of the chain (Celo), they will only hold the record of recent changes.In this way, the mobile appreciation for Celo's ideas will be more practical.

Localized stablecoins + gas payable in multiple currencies Perhaps, one of the very big innovations of Celo. Having a range of stablecoins backed by a reserve of Celo. This stablecoins can be used to clear up gas fees, not mandatorily though. The fact is $Celo can be used for clearing up gas dees, while other stablecoins in the Celo chain like $cUSD can also be used. Depending on the users choice, any token in the chain that you have can be used to clear up gas fees.

... proposal made for the transition from L1 to L2 on July 2023.Before we continue any further, do you know one issue, that Celo solved?The issue of ACCESSIBILITY.When we studied <a href="https://dsta.sh/umSrQU3Z1THqgjSd9">#CORE</a> #<a href="https://dsta.sh/TRCKHeTK2jNL6DyF6">EIGENLAYER</a> <a href="https://dsta.sh/VXFEFJEQq2Ad9A3PA">#SOL</a> #AVAX #<a href="https://dsta.sh/owFVBtKCcXtgZAED9">XRP</a> etc, we focused deeply on discussing their Consensus mechanisms especially because that is what makes a Blockchain what it is.Without an agreement between parties, the innovation will not be adopted.However, in @Celo we will be ONBOARDING instead of discussing the consensus mechanism because the consensus mechanism is one that most people are familiar with, POS meaning Proof of Stake

Course Of Review

Community fund is an account that receives epoch rewards to cover up the operational costs of Celo protocol.ULCUltra Light ClientsEveryone likes rapid transactions and low-latent operations.I love it too. I hate it when pages don't load rapidly or when transactions pend without going through.In the space, this is almost normal. Know latency of protocol)Since chains require that all nodes hold a copy of a record of all transactions and state changes in the chain, it all builds up to be a colossal database.Mobile phones will not be able to hold this voluminous amount of data.

$CELO is the utility token of Celo Labs.It is used for :- clearing up gas fees - protecting the protocol by staking, POS- on-chain governance, by staking too- for minting Celo-specific stablecoins like $cUSD, by depositing into reserve. StatsAs at the time of my research, the price of $CELO sits at above $0.5 on <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/celo/">CoinMarketCap</a> Market cap → $300,110,733#172 according to market cap Circulating supply → 542,396,781 CELO 54.24% of it in circulation Total supply → 1,000,000,000 CELOMax. supply → 1,000,000,000 CELO Celo was founded in 2017.L1 Mainnet launched April 22nd, 2020..
