DeFi Protocols Aave, Celo And Sushi Launch $100M Defi Initiative

Defi Protocols Aave, Celo, and Sushi joined together to launch a $100 million DeFi initaitive for grants, education, and token incentives in the Defi space as we are reading more in our latest altcoin news today.

CELO has been making a strong play for all DeFi users and along with the DeFi protocols aave and Sushi, it will launch a new initiative. Celo is a new blockchain project which aims to bring crypto tools to every person with a smartphone especially those that have trouble accessing their bank accounts. Celo announced the $100 million in funding for grants, education, and token rewards from other ETH decentralized finance protocols as well as the formation of Defi for the People Initaitive with a goal to make Defi accessible to 6 billion smartphone users across the world.

The founding members of the initiative are Curve, Sushi, Aave, UMA, Ox, Valora, Ubeswap, and Moola Market. Additionally, Graph, chainlink, Wrapped.com also signed on the education and infrastructure partners list. Together, these protocols committed $100 million in initial funds with the plan to put up half of the funds needed for an incentive program. PoolTogether is integrated with Celo and offers $500,000 in prize money and it’s also a no-loss ottery on the Ethereum blockchain where people pool their money into an interest-bearing vehicle with one winner getting rewards and the rest getting refunded.

Lending protocol Aave promised $20 million in token incentives to those that access the protocol via Celo’s mobile platform. Curve lined up with $14 million in incentives ad Sushi lined up $10 million in front of new traders that use Celo. The goal according to co-founder Rene Reinsbreg brought 1 billion users to decentralized finance in five years:

“DeFi for the People aims to make DeFi accessible to everyone by powering real-world use cases and focusing on mobile-first adoption.”

Celo came across as an open-source version of Facebook’s Libra project so with the establishing foundations the Alliance for Prosperity and Libra Association was going to recreate the financial system so that people from across the world could send and receive money faster and cheaper. While Libra rebranded to Diem to become a US-based stablecoin, Celo continued building on its platform adding both the protocols created by its own cLabs.
