We are taking our partnership with @Celo to the next level with a proposed 160M CELO allocation to transform into a key network stakeholder! This reinforces our mission: accessible finance What this means for you: • 50M+ Opera users can now redeem rewards as USD₮ in MiniPay • MiniPay expanding to 66+ countries with 14M+ accounts • 420M+ transactions powered by Celo's mobile-first rails

When we started @Celo, the bet was simple: build financial infrastructure for everyone, not just speculators. Mobile-first, stablecoin-native, optimized for the places where better payments actually change lives @Opera believed in that from the start. Nearly five years ago they saw what we saw and built @MiniPay into a self-custodial stablecoin wallet with 14M+ users across 66 countries and 420M+ transactions This proposal moves Opera from a distribution partner to a network stakeholder with a 160M CELO allocation, making Opera's incentives more aligned with Celo's and vice versa. I probably don't have to tell you how big of a deal that is The jobs not done yet though. Next up, 50M Opera browser users are positioned to redeem USDT rewards within MiniPay. Roadshows in Vietnam and the Philippines start next month The path to a multi billion-dollar onchain economy is getting concrete
