Celo is a layer one blockchain (in the process of transitioning to becoming a layer two blockchain) that aims to remove the barriers for large-scale adoption of cryptocurrencies as means-of-payment. Using a novel address-based encryption algorithm, the Celo protocol makes sending money as easy as sending a text.
