Solana-Style Transaction Fees, on Ethereum? Yes Please.
TL;DR
-
Celo is on a path to turning into the ‘Visa/Mastercard’ of stablecoin funds, making them low cost, accessible, and hands-off (throughout all main chains).
Full Story
$USDT is launching on Celo — which can really feel like déjà vu, trigger $USDC launched there simply two weeks in the past.
Right here’s why we’re weirdly intrigued by one thing as boring as stablecoin integrations:
It seems to be like Celo is attempting to develop into the Visa (or Mastercard) of stablecoin funds — i.e. low cost, accessible, and hands-off.
Celo is designed particularly for quick and low-cost funds on Ethereum (them and each different layer 2 on the market).
So many people are engaged on it, trigger proper now, in the event you purchase one thing utilizing $USDT by way of the principle Ethereum community – you’re going to be paying a legal quantity of transaction charges.
Assume: anyplace between $50 and $500.
In the event you did the identical factor by way of Celo, you’d pay round $0.001 for that very same transaction, no matter ETH’s value – in truth, it’ll do it for you throughout any $USDT pleasant blockchain (like Tron, Solana, Avalanche and Omni).
“Cool, so, is that this gonna have an effect on me??” — you, most likely.
Yeah, it probs will.
In the event you use crypto, you and Celo (or one thing prefer it) will ultimately cross paths.
Trigger if crypto goes to catch on as a common fee methodology — the most typical type shall be some type of stablecoin.
A community like Celo primarily says to shoppers:
“We don’t care what sort of stablecoin you’re holding, or which blockchain you’re attempting to ship it throughout — we’ll be sure that it will get to the place it must go, regardless.”
(Which is a regular in fiat debit/credit score funds, that crypto is but to fulfill).
Noice!
