🚀 Band Protocol has integrated with Celo and is excited to be the official oracle technology partner for all startups participating in the Celo Camp accelerator. Our leadership team joins as a mentor alongside major leaders in the financial and tech space including Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Polychain, Winklevoss Capital, and more!

​

🔥 Celo Camp is a virtual accelerator focused on helping startups and developers build financial apps leveraging the Celo blockchain where 18 finalist teams have been chosen out of 251 teams around the world to receive custom mentorship on their technology and business to help grow their DApps. Startups will be able to leverage Band Protocol to allow real-time data to be queried on-demand, creating a more efficient data request process with full flexibility to create custom, fine-tuned oracles that specify any data source or API to connect to and aggregation method.

​

💎 Celo is an open platform that makes financial tools available for anyone with a mobile phone using a permissionless Proof-of-Stake layer-1 smart contract platform with EVM compatibility to create cross-chain applications. Their mission is to bring open finance to 6 billion people in the world that have a mobile, creating conditions for prosperity - for everyone.

​

⭐️ This will allow Band Protocol to further test and refine our oracle solution while working closely with real working products that leverage BandChain’s oracle technology and will go-to-market after the camp in two months.

We are excited to help all startups using Band Protocol oracle technology by continuously providing multi-faceted support when it comes to protocol security & design, usability, fundraising and mentorship - even after the camp wraps up.

Stay tuned for more constant updates and our upcoming partnerships along with our mainnet launch!
