Ligero Brings Enterprise-Grade Privacy and Compliance to Celo's Blockchain Ecosystem

Ligero has integrated its private payments infrastructure with Celo's Ethereum Layer 2 network. This integration brings privacy-preserving and compliance-focused payment capabilities to Celo's blockchain ecosystem for enterprise use cases.

The partnership combines Ligero's zero-knowledge (ZK) proof technology with Celo's mobile-first blockchain infrastructure, allowing enterprises to process stablecoin payments while protecting sensitive transaction information and meeting regulatory requirements.

Celo co-founder Marek Olszewski said the integration strengthens the network's global stablecoin ecosystem by adding a comprehensive privacy and compliance layer. He added that the partnership is expected to create additional opportunities for institutions, payroll service providers, and payment partners seeking secure blockchain-based financial services.
