@theb8t @CeloCommunities 💯💯

I am submitting to @celocommunities: Most people in Africa don’t need complex blockchain, they need something that works on their phone. Celo stands out: mobile-first, fast, real payments not hype. Cross-border + daily use = real adoption 🌍.

@marek_ @Celo @artemis A lot of interesting things have happened in the past year. This year is going to be good. The number will only go up.

Happy Birthday @Celo 🥳🎉🍰 Some exciting changes since this time last year: Onchain metrics 📊 👥 MAUs: 509K → 1.98M (up 3.9x) 📱 MiniPay Wallets: 7M → 15M (up 2.1x, across 66+ countries) 💸 Daily Tx Num: 1.27M → ~1.7M (up 1.3x) ⚖️ Annual Stablecoin Volume (@Artemis "adjusted"): $13.69B → $28.10B (up 2.05x) 🪙 Lifetime Transactions: crossed 1.2B+ 💵 USDT on Celo: #1 transport layer globally, 10M+ holders (up 230%) 🏆 #1 L2 by Daily Active Users (peaked at 840K) 🔒 99.8% reduction in security costs post-L2 Notable new additions 🙌 🦋 @MorphoLabs 🦄 @Uniswap (V4) 🤖 @Virtuals_io ⚡️ @SuccinctLabs 📈 @Updownxyz 🧵 @TextileProtocol 🥇 @Tether Gold (XAUt0) 🧠 ERC-8004 agentic infra (+ @AltLayer, @thirdweb, @autonolas) Major L2 milestones 💪 📅 1 year as an Ethereum L2 🛡️ Jello hardfork: 1st L2 with ZK fault proofs (OP Succinct Lite) 💾 @Eigen_da v2 (Blazar) upgrade + 1st auditable DA bridge 🏅 @L2beat: top chain in the Validiums & Optimiums category

@BSCNews @Celo $Celo is one of the most looked at L2. I agree with you that 2026 is going to be a great year

CELO CELEBRATES SIXTH ANNIVERSARY AS TXNS SURPASS 1.27 BILLION Leading Ethereum L2 @Celo celebrated six years since its official mainnet launch on April 22, 2020. As of the latest data, the platform boasts some very impressive metrics indeed... - More than 1.27 billion transactions processed. - Most active ETH L2 for daily users, reaching a recent high of 840,000. - More than $65 billion in stablecoin transactions since converting to an ETH L2. But that's not all. The $CELO ecosystem has seen several major developments in the last few weeks alone... Leading browser, Opera, launched 16% CELO cashback rewards for users of its MiniPay Wallet who buy CELO in the wallet itself using Squidrouter’s 'Buy CELO' Mini App. Opera also launched a $1 million $CELO program for Mini App Builders. What's more, Celo's recent tokenomics update has seen network revenue increase by a whopping 66% in the space of a single week, whilst simultaneously ensuring transaction costs of less than $0.01. 2026 is set to be a very exciting year indeed for the burgeoning Celo ecosystem...

@Celo @ethereum sweet 6, more to come with greater achievement

Six years ago today, Celo mainnet launched on Earth Day! 🥳 The @Ethereum Layer 2 built for the real world has processed 1.27B+ transactions, bringing fast, low-cost stablecoin txs to 600K+ global users every day What does this look like in practice? Here's a better look ↓

The CELOccelerate Tokenomics Proposal has passed community governance, with 97%+ in favor! 🎉 The Celo ecosystem has spoken, and the network's economic model is leveling up with CELO buybacks, base fee increases & more ↓

@Celo @minipay @opera @squidrouter This is a great step foward 🙂‍↔️

CELO is now available in @MiniPay, making the token accessible to 14M+ global users through @Opera's stablecoin wallet! In just a few taps, users transacting on the network daily can become CELO stakeholders 🦑 Powered by @Squidrouter, the team behind "Buy Gold" with 88K+ users

Onchain activity on @Celo is at an all-time high, while the transaction costs are close to all-time lows. A chart to follow 👇

And @Celo quietly reaches 1.25B Total tx...🤫

@0xj4an @marek_ @celogovernance @TuCopFinance Yeah More versatility in payment currency of TX fees.

Just listening @marek_ i the @celogovernance Call 88 talking about making $XAUt0 a token for Gas Fees in Celo and I remember that a week ago @TuCopFinance enabled this feature for all users 💛 forum.celo.org/t/enable-usa-a…

@hashproof_dev @0xj4an @Celo Great milestone gCelo💛

1,000+ verifiable credentials issued on @Celo. We didn’t grow this with crypto users. We grew it with people who don’t care about blockchain and still use it. That changes how you think about adoption.

@0xj4an 💛 gCelo

One year after Celo became an Ethereum L2, the real signal is not just the infra. It is seeing real use cases, better products, and stronger local ecosystems compounding at the same time. x.com/Celo/status/20…

@ThVhic @marek_ @CeloEurope @CeloDevs Never Gib up mayor You time will come 💛 gCelo

Ship fast!💨 There’s not time son! (Building on proof of ship)
