CeloTap is a mobile-first payment tool that makes stablecoin payments simple for everyday people and small merchants. Built on Celo, it allows users to send and receive cUSD with QR codes, payment links, or phone-based identifiers.

Users don’t need to understand crypto — CeloTap focuses on fast, low-fee, real-world payments that work even on low bandwidth and affordable devices.

Our mission is to make digital payments accessible for everyone by building a simple, mobile-first tool for everyday transactions. With CeloTap, merchants and individuals can use stablecoins without needing technical knowledge, enabling fast, affordable financial interaction across emerging markets.

Digital payments in emerging markets are expensive, slow, and fragmented. Small merchants rely on systems with high fees, unreliable settlement, or limited mobile support.
Crypto wallets exist, but they are too complex for non-technical users and are not optimized for everyday transactions like paying a vendor or receiving money from a customer.

There is no simple tool on Celo designed specifically for quick, merchant-friendly stablecoin payments.

CeloTap provides a simple interface for frictionless stablecoin payments using Celo’s fast, low-cost blockchain.

Core features include:

Tap-to-pay QR payments

Instant payment requests via link

Phone-number or username-based address book

Lightweight web app for slow networks

Merchant mode (track payments, quick “request payment” button)

Local currency display (e.g., NGN, KES)

CeloTap turns stablecoin payments into a familiar, everyday action — just tap, scan, or click.

CeloTap uses a hybrid model combining transaction fees, premium merchant tools, and developer APIs. Basic transfers remain free or near-zero cost, while businesses can pay for advanced dashboards, automated invoicing, on-chain analytics, and integration plugins. Additional revenue comes from small fees on cross-border remittances and stablecoin swaps powered by Celo’s ultralow-cost infrastructure.
