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

@carol_nasvytis @TimurNegru Depends very much on the size of the piping leading to the septic system. Old pipes tend to be small

@marek_ @TimurNegru Have you never been in a house with a septic system? Yes you can flush your toilet paper. Tampons are a huge no.

69 acres of private Tuscany for €690k ($797k). The land includes an olive grove, a fruit orchard, a cork oak grove and 20 hectares of woodland. A natural spring produces 3,000 litres of water a day, solar panels cover the electricity and yes, it does have wifi. It's also been renovated, 370m² (3,983 sq ft) across 3 floors, 3 beds, 3 baths, with a pool and a sauna. 50 km to Volterra. Off-grid, self-sufficient, sauna, pool..what's missing here?

@christianbyza @bepurpleai Woot! I've watched this team obsess over the details that make AI actually useful in production

Yes, AI can ship complex features into real codebases. Not toy demos. Actual multi-repo features with architecture constraints, cross-repo contracts, and coordinated PRs. Here's what we built 🧵

Opera wants to get paid in CELO, not cash. They’ve proposed a 160M CELO deal, pending approval… potentially making them one of the largest holders.

@DeCryptoCitizen @Celo @opera Woot!

@marek_ @Celo @opera So proud of the Celo community! 🙌 MiniPay stepping in with 160M CELO isn’t just growth, it’s transformation. Fundamentals are stronger than ever. 💎

@benibauer3 @Celo @opera Well said!

This is a big step. Seeing Opera go from distribution to aligned stakeholder changes the game, incentives finally moving in the same direction for real scale. Super excited about what this unlocks for MiniPay, stablecoins, and onchain adoption in emerging markets. This is how you build real financial infrastructure!

LATEST: ⚡ Opera has proposed swapping its cash payments from Celo for 160 million CELO tokens, which would give it roughly 27% of the token's circulating supply.

@TrystanInvest @Cointelegraph It's only the #1 most used Ethereum L2 by DAUs and the 3rd most widely adopted RWA network, but you're right, probably not something that many people use 😂

@Cointelegraph Is CELO network a thing? I doubt it's something that many people use

🚨 LATEST: Opera seeks a 160M CELO allocation to become a major stakeholder in the Celo network, pending approval.
