Celo Proposes Major Partnership with Opera Amid Ecosystem Unification

Crypto payment platform Celo has announced a new governance proposal aimed at deepening its ties with web browser Opera. The proposal seeks to allocate 160 million CELO tokens to Opera, which would support a three-year partnership aligned with long-term network growth.

The move follows the recent unification of cLabs and the Celo Foundation into Celo Core Co., designed to streamline development and execution across the ecosystem.

Celo has positioned itself as infrastructure for global payments, particularly in emerging markets. The network's focus on mobile-first payments and real-world financial use cases has led to partnerships with companies like Opera through MiniPay, a self-custodial stablecoin wallet integrated into Opera Mini.
