Keynote – MAREK OLSZEWSKI
summary
EVM-compatible Celo positions itself as an “Ethereum sidechain plus”: it ships one block finality and EIP-1559, runs native algorithmic stablecoins (Celo Dollar, Celo Euro) that can pay gas, and already secures about 360 million TVL in DeFi (~$1.3B if including staking). It implements a phone-verification-to-wallet mapping for pay-by-contact onboarding, a snark-friendly curve (vls1237) light client for kilobyte proofs, Valora reaches valora 200,000 users (54k active), and Optics cross-chain messaging is nearing launch.
