Congrats to @cLabs and the entire @Celo team - this is an incredible accomplishment which benefits all of us within the Celo ecosystem and also the wider Ethereum space! 💪🏼👏🏼🥳🎉🎇✨
🏡 @Ethereum, we're home!
Following a successful "hard hard fork" led by core contributors at @cLabs & L1 validators, Celo is officially an Ethereum Layer 2 🪨 🪨 🍴

Visiting Devcon and want to compensate for your own travels? It's simple:
1. Buy CHAR, which is underpinned by a basket of carbon removal credits
2. Head to app.toucan.earth/
3. Redeem & retire (whole tonne amounts!)
Tag @ToucanProtocol on completion & we'll re-post.
You’ve heard it before. “Crypto is useless.”
It’s a line repeated so often, it feels like fact.
But if you’ve only scratched the surface, it’s easy to miss the deeper truth:
Crypto isn’t useless—you just haven’t needed it yet.
New: cross-chain support for $CHAR is now live 🌱
Transfer your CHAR carbon pool tokens seamlessly between @base and @Celo via our app:
🟢 go to app.toucan.earth
🟢 select "Cross-Chain"
We’re on a mission to save the planet and the Ecopass enables you to join in on the impact 🌎🌿
5% of sales will go toward purchasing $CHAR via @ToucanProtocol which helps directly take CO2 out of our planet’s atmosphere
