The purpose of this network is to create an environment for the development and launch of decentralized applications (DApps) compatible with smartphones. Cello's goal is for every user anywhere in the world to be able to access financial services, in order to transfer money to their contacts and buy goods through a smartphone.

This means that even users who use weak internet, low bandwidth, expensive services and cheap and old mobile phones can use Celo-based applications.
