The collaboration will increase Celo's transaction speeds and bring Move smart contracts, the programming language developed for Diem, to the Celo ecosystem, enabling developers to build advanced, audit-free dApps. "Mysten Labs joining the Celo ecosystem is a significant milestone for speed, scalability, and mobile," said Marek Olszewski, co-founder of Celo.

It's our honor to be working with mission-aligned organizations in the Celo ecosystem," said Evan Cheng, co-founder and CEO of Mysten Labs.
