Consumer-friendly blockchain platform NEAR Protocol unveiled a key partnership today that it said will make it easier to build fast, decentralized apps offering predictable transaction fees.
Bison Trails says it believes Celo has the potential to become a global driver of financial inclusion—not least because of how mobile payments are the lifeblood of many developing economies.
Poverty-focused digital payments platform Celo launched a virtual accelerator competition in early February, aimed at encouraging up-and-coming businesses and developers build apps on its proof-of-stake, Ethereum-based blockchain.
Announced on March 11, the 50-member Alliance aims to support the Celo blockchain by building a variety of mobile phone-based financial tools aimed broadly at combating poverty and inequality.
