Hello!!
We’re from Vodafone, and been engaging with Celo for about year discussing different potential projects we could embark together on. Finally, after a lot of ground work (sorry, things are kinda slow in corporate ecosystems), we have a breakthrough!
Our goal is to build a partnership with Celo and create a bridge between Celo and our B2B Digital Asset Broker network (https://www.vdigitalassetbroker.com/), aka DAB.
DAB is essentially empowering any “thing” to be able to transact, i.e. it can receive and make payments. So imagine your coffee machine can make payments (ordering new coffee beans) and charge payments (if your roommates drink more than 3 cups a day, you charge them $1 per cup hehe)…
On top of this, we will be originating digital assets on the DAB network, but wouldn’t it be great if we can bridge this asset into public chains like Celo… and any assets from Celo could also bridge into DAB, etc.
That’s kind of the rough idea of what we’re building.
Essentially we are building trusted web3 infrastructure for Things (and People’s Things!!)
Right now, companies like Visa and Mastercard can’t handle those kinds of micropayments, but blockchain can, so that’s why we want to work with public chain protocols for this.
Just want to thank Julia Carbajal, Joaquin Hernandez and Kevin Tharayil for supporting us on this journey and helping us get to this point!
Really excited to be part of the Celo ecosystem, and hope we can contribute and support Celo’s growth.
If this is an interesting topic for the community, would be really happy to introduce our project and the partnership with Celo at the Kuneco!
