Celo Colombia ◘

🏆 Winner Announcement — Celo Community Guild Contest April Edition Big congrats to @WairaT for winning this April edition of the Celo Community Guild contest! 🎉 This stood out because it captured the true Celo spirit: from unbanked users in Colombia to local tools like TuCopFinance & COPm. Authentic grassroots passion from Amazonas! 🇨🇴

Ayer tuvimos una sesión en vivo junto a la comunidad de @Cryptoinvests2 💬 Un espacio para aprender, resolver dudas y seguir acercando más personas al ecosistema 🚀

Yesterday, @Celo turned 6 🎂 And this is no ordinary birthday. It's the blockchain with more daily active users than any other Ethereum L2, and it does it while being carbon negative 🌍 Here's why this matters especially in Latin America 🧵

This weekend I went on a little quest around Cali 🇨🇴 Claimed most of the main @Celo_Col POAPs in the city: 📍 Estadio 📍 San Antonio 📍 Pérgola Clandestina 📍 La Ermita 📍 Plazoleta Jairo Varela 📍 El Gato del Río Still missing: – Pance – Zoológico de Cali – Cristo Rey There are POAPs in other cities across Colombia too. Who else is out here collecting these? 👀

2,000 → 3,000+ verifiable credentials on @Celo in 8 days. The key wasn’t crypto. It was embedding it into a real Web2 flow. People attend events → need certificates → get them. They don’t know it’s blockchain. They just know it works and anyone can verify it.

Watch @Celo's chain revenue grow 8x in the last 17 days 🙌

Base gas fees are being increased on @Celo to increase revenue. We can see median transaction costs increasing already, although they are still sub-cent at $0.0008. This will be an interesting experiment to see how this impacts activity metrics on Celo. It is quite normal for chains with higher activity to have higher transaction costs, see post below for examples 👇
