Why Agents Choose Celo
Celo's gas fees can be paid in stablecoins like cUSD, which eliminates the need for agents to hold volatile native tokens purely for gas. This simplifies treasury management significantly. The chain's identity attestation system gives agents a way to link on-chain addresses to verified phone numbers, enabling real-world payment workflows that other chains struggle to support. Celo's carbon-negative status also attracts ESG-conscious agent operators.
