CeloHT is a blockchain project designed to bring accessible digital finance solutions to Haiti, with a vision to expand across the Caribbean and connect communities to the global digital economy. The name CeloHT reflects its mission:
Celo: Ties to the Celo blockchain ecosystem, which facilitates digital payments, stablecoins, and social applications (Celo.org).
HT: Haiti, the home and first target community for the project.
CeloHT is not just a financial project it builds a social, economic, and environmental ecosystem for the communities it serves.
Why CeloHT Uses cUSD
CeloHT uses cUSD, a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar, as the foundation for all operations (Celo cUSD official page). The advantages are clear:
1. Financial Stability – cUSD avoids the volatility seen in other cryptocurrencies.
2. Fast, Low-Cost Transactions – Users can send money in seconds across cities without traditional banking fees (Celo Whitepaper).
3. Accessibility – Anyone with a phone can use cUSD, even without a bank account.
4. Global Interoperability – cUSD is widely used internationally, enabling global partnerships and exchanges.
The project integrates with Valora App, allowing users to receive, send, and store cUSD securely on their mobile devices (ValoraApp.com). This makes CeloHT simple, fast, and accessible.
The 3 Pillars of CeloHT
CeloHT’s vision is built on three integrated pillars:
1. Education
Training in cryptocurrency, blockchain, and digital finance.
Workshops on digital entrepreneurship for youth and professionals.
Preparing agents to serve communities with technical and financial knowledge.
2. Agents and Operational Ecosystem
Local agents receive and send cUSD, helping communities access the digital economy.
Revenue model: each transaction generates a small commission for agents.
Valora App enables direct transactions for users, making the process simple and secure (CoinDesk overview).
3. Reforestation and Community Impact
Transactions support environmental initiatives: tree planting, land restoration, and community projects.
All activities are verified on blockchain to ensure transparency and public reporting (Celo.org/community).
