Celo (CELO) native token

CELO (CELO) is the native utility token of the Celo platform. It has multiple use cases within the ecosystem, including staking, governance, and supporting the stability of stablecoins.

Celo utilizes a PoS consensus mechanism, allowing token holders to participate in network security by staking their CELO tokens. Validators are chosen based on the amount of CELO they stake.

Moreover, the Celo Reserve is a pool of digital assets that backs the value of stablecoins on the Celo platform, ensuring their stability and redeemability for the project and its native coin.

The Celo platform provides a user-friendly mobile wallet that allows users to store, send, receive, and exchange CELO tokens and stablecoins.

Developers can build Decentralized Applications (DApps) on the Celo platform, creating various financial services, remittance solutions, and other applications that target underbanked populations.
