Hi Celo community,
I’m building StreetCredit onchain credit infrastructure connecting alternative data and stablecoin liquidity to serve small businesses excluded from traditional finance in emerging markets.
The model is simple: small businesses with no credit history but verifiable income get access to micro loans through a transparent onchain system. Every repayment builds a portable credit record they own.
Why Arbitrum and Celo together Collaboration:
The infrastructure and liquidity layer is built on Arbitrum chosen for its sub-cent gas fees that make micro loan repayments economically viable, deep DeFi liquidity pools, and composability with existing lending protocols.
Celo’s seems like the a natural fit because of it’s mobile-first infrastructure and community presence in Africa and Latin America is exactly where our target borrowers are. I’m exploring whether a Celo integration makes sense for last mile borrower access.
Would love feedback from anyone building in this space or working with underserved communities. Is this something the Celo ecosystem would find valuable?
