Zeal enters the early stages of the mainnet
Speaking to Cointelegraph, Celo founder Rene Reinsberg stated that over 300 teams are currently building in Celo.

Reinsberg expressed her enthusiasm for the coming weeks, stating, „Once Celo Gold transfers are enabled, and the exchanges are integrated with Celo, off-chain pricing for Celo Gold can be driven through a series of Oracles. This means that the Reserve can be configured, and through chain governance, the Bitcoin Investor, Crypto Investor, Cryptosoft, Bitcoin Rush, Bitcoin Trader can come into operation.“

He pointed out that The Celo Wallet is his final step in launching the mainnet, stating, „At this point, using The Celo Wallet, you can send Celo Dollars to anyone in the world with just their cell phone.“

The mass adoption of stablecoins is coming
Speaking about the use cases of the Zeal platform, Reinsberg says that „people will start experimenting with how money is created in itself.

Just as money was backed by gold, the new stablecoins can be backed by the tokenized resources we want to see more of in the world (for example, the tokenized rainforests). By choosing between two stablecoins, you will soon be able to choose between, for example, helping to solve global warming or contributing to it.

„From the coming recession, we will see stablecoins being adopted more widely,“ he added.
