SushiSwap has partnered with Celo’s DeFi for All initiative with the goal of reaching the potential of DeFi to more than 6 billion smartphone users worldwide. As part of the partnership, the Celo community, together with Sushi, will award a total of $12.6 million in liquidity mining rewards to be distributed simultaneously through CELO and SUSHI.
With the combination of Celo’s mobile-first and user-friendly approach and Sushi’s DeFi expertise and product suite, real people with real needs will be able to benefit more from DeFi. As the DeFi for All initiative grows in its early days, the real advantages of crypto and DeFi technology are also emerging.
Sushi users will be able to take advantage of higher transaction speed and lower fees with secure and Ethereum-compatible transactions over Celo’s Proof-of-Stake (PoS) network. In addition to expanding Sushi’s multi-chain family, Celo will provide Sushi users with access to Celo’s native fixed crypto assets, a phone number for the address mapping system, and a seamless mobile user experience. Accessing Celo’s mobile-first user base and leveraging networks in emerging markets will help Sushi open up to new users and increase usage.

Sushi CTO Joseph Delong states that Sushi can take this mission forward and reach the next frontier in DeFi.
