Summa to Join Celo 🎊

Today, we’re thrilled to share that Summa will be joining cLabs to help Celo realize their shared mission of financial prosperity and inclusion for all. Through our journey, we’ve become one of the foremost providers of cross-chain architecture. Leveraging our unique expertise, we aim to help connect Celo to various other chains throughout the space.

“Through our work with Celo on Bitcoin relays, we discovered a shared passion for creating financial inclusion and prosperity. We’re excited to join their team to further connect Celo to the broader blockchain ecosystem.“
— James Prestwich, Founder at Summa

Joining cLabs will allow us to bring the benefits of our technology to a broader audience, expand our open-source work with wider application, and deliver value to end-users more directly. Through our combined efforts, we hope to bring the ecosystem a step closer to financial inclusion for all.

“The technical and interoperability expertise the Summa team brings to Celo will enable the Celo Reserve to be further diversified and decentralized in a permissionless way. This represents a significant milestone for the Celo community”
— Markus Franke, Partner at cLabs working on the Reserve

Finally, we want to give a special thanks to Mark Tyneway for his work on bcoin-relaylib, and Harsha Goli for his contributions to Riemann.

We’re excited about what’s next and can’t wait to see you on the other side.

With Love and Fabulous Hair,
