Congrats to @cLabs and the entire @Celo team - this is an incredible accomplishment which benefits all of us within the Celo ecosystem and also the wider Ethereum space! 💪🏼👏🏼🥳🎉🎇✨
🏡 @Ethereum, we're home!
Following a successful "hard hard fork" led by core contributors at @cLabs & L1 validators, Celo is officially an Ethereum Layer 2 🪨 🪨 🍴
What does that mean for the diverse, global decentralized ecosystem? Keep reading to find out ↓
Visiting Devcon and want to compensate for your own travels? It's simple:
1. Buy CHAR, which is underpinned by a basket of carbon removal credits
2. Head to https://t.co/1xDIIb0LkI
3. Redeem & retire (whole tonne amounts!)
Tag @ToucanProtocol on completion & we'll re-post.
Kudos to @jessepollak for leading by example and compensating for his travel to #devcon with Toucan's $CHAR 🌎

You’ve heard it before. “Crypto is useless.”
It’s a line repeated so often, it feels like fact.
But if you’ve only scratched the surface, it’s easy to miss the deeper truth:
Crypto isn’t useless—you just haven’t needed it yet.
New: cross-chain support for $CHAR is now live 🌱
Transfer your CHAR carbon pool tokens seamlessly between @base and @Celo via our app:
🟢 go to https://t.co/oi1JQHr4cT
🟢 select "Cross-Chain"
🎨 Calling all climate-minded creators, artists, & builders: What if digital art could not just raise awareness, but instead actually catalyze and drive real-world climate action? Here's where NFTs and climate intersect 🧵
We’re on a mission to save the planet and the Ecopass enables you to join in on the impact 🌎🌿
5% of sales will go toward purchasing $CHAR via @ToucanProtocol which helps directly take CO2 out of our planet’s atmosphere

✨Or, are you a builder interested in using Toucan's Green NFT extension? Let us know about your project and let's get started!
The success has been striking. To our knowledge, this project has been the single biggest driver of new entrants into the carbon dioxide removal (CDR) market. That's not just art. That's impact.
The first showcase? plant-based, in partnership with @cyrusclark, @base, and @fx_hash_. These digital plants don't just look good ... they absorb carbon. It's an experiment in how digital products can create new incentives that drive climate action.
We're thrilled to introduce Toucan's new Green NFT extension. Now, you can embed verified carbon removal into both new and existing ERC-721 collections. 🌍
