With the official deployment of Uniswap V3, the largest DEX protocol, to the Celo network, Celo has also attracted the most influential projects for its ecology. With the help of Uniswap's deep, permissionless and centralized liquidity structure, Celo will build a liquidity pool related to carbon credit tokens on it to improve the capital liquidity of the carbon market, and also integrate other protocols on Celo To lay the foundation for carbon credits, the first liquidity pool will be CELO/MCO2, the Moss carbon credit token pool.
Different from many Layer 1 public chains for all markets, Celo is positioned as a blockchain network that focuses on decentralized mobile payments. Its main network was officially launched in April 2020, aiming to enable users without bank accounts around the world to Enjoy the convenience brought by DeFi products through mobile devices such as mobile phones, so Africa and many underdeveloped countries are its market focus. In addition to adopting the PoS consensus mechanism, being compatible with EVM, and having cross-chain interoperability, its features also include using stablecoins as transaction media such as remittances and cross-border payments, supporting multiple tokens to pay Gas fees, and mapping phone numbers to wallet addresses To simplify transfer operations, etc. In April 2021, Deutsche Telekom, Europe's largest telecommunications operator, announced an investment in Celo. Previous investment institutions also included a16z, Coinbase Ventures, Electric Capital, Jack Dorsey, etc.
In addition to promoting the development of decentralized finance, Celo is also committed to contributing to environmental protection. This "alliance" with Uniswap is also to jointly promote the development of ReFi (Regenerative Finance). As the name suggests, ReFi refers to renewable finance, which aims to reverse climate change through Web3 technology, that is, to use the transparent mechanism of blockchain technology to introduce real natural assets into the chain, and at the same time introduce incentive mechanisms to contribute to green development. Behavior is rewarded to drive sustainable development. According to Celo Foundation estimates, ReFi will be a trillion-scale economic market. Currently, the most common ReFi projects are carbon credit tokenization, such as Toucan, Flow Carbon, and Moss. Celo has also established partnerships with the above projects. The liquidity of carbon credit tokens is one of the current challenges. The cooperation between Celo and Uniswap is also to improve the capital efficiency of this market. ReFi is a brand new narrative, and PANews also made an in-depth interpretation of it"In-depth Research Report: Comprehensive Analysis of ReFi's Type Characteristics, Ecological Projects and Token Economics"。
According to PANews statistics, Celo’s ecological products have begun to take shape. As of July 20, there are about 120 Dapps and protocols, including DeFi, GameFi, NFT, Web3, social impact, payment, data and development platforms, and Staking , analysis tools, cross-chain bridges, wallets, Earn, etc., the total TVL of the Celo ecosystem is about 139 million US dollars. Among them, DeFi, wallet and social impact projects have higher weights, accounting for about 26%, 24% and 10% respectively. Taking DeFi as an example, ecological native projects account for nearly half, but the current scale of native projects is still small. Smaller, among them social impact projects, there are multiple financial services and poverty alleviation agreements for the poor that clearly reflect the characteristics of the Celo ecology.
