Technology
Infrastructure we use, not infrastructure we own
Celo, CELO, cUSD, and Valora are our technical foundation. CeloHT doesn't operate any of them — we build the education and community process that makes them accessible.
Celo
A public Layer-1 blockchain built for mobile-first access, using Proof-of-Stake consensus and EVM compatibility. CeloHT uses it as the base chain for agent-network transactions and reforestation rewards.
cUSD (Celo Dollar)
A stablecoin pegged to the US dollar, used for everyday transactions — cash-in/cash-out, transfers, rewards — because its price stability makes it far more practical than a volatile asset for daily use.
CELO
The network’s native token, used for transaction fees and governance within the Celo protocol itself. We teach users what it is without positioning it as our primary product.
Valora
A mobile wallet built for simplicity, letting users send and receive cUSD and CELO without needing to understand everything under the hood. It’s the wallet we recommend across our training material — CeloHT doesn’t own or operate it.
Not a permanent, exclusive choice
Governed, not assumed
Celo and Valora are our current standard, but we’re aware the crypto ecosystem keeps evolving. Any change to this foundational technology has to go through our governance process and be documented publicly.
