Endorsed by Industry Leaders

“Interoperability standards are key to foundational protocols. When different systems work together smoothly, it makes it much easier to build great products on top of them. This is why we work on projects like libp2p and IPLD. We’re proud to be founding members of open standards making it easier to work across chains.”

- Juan Benet, CEO @ Protocol Labs

"Rosetta is an exciting development in the cryptocurrency space that helps establish a standard API for integrating and building applications on blockchain networks. The cLabs team is excited to see applications use a common interface via Rosetta to build not only on Celo, but on other blockchains as well, opening up the potential for new developers and businesses to join our growing industry.”

- Marek Olszewski, Co-Founder @ Celo and CTO @ cLabs

“While all blockchains are conceptually similar, each blockchain has its own quirks and nuances: anyone who has tried to integrate with multiple blockchains knows how frustrating that can be. We’re excited about Coinbase’s Rosetta project as it can dramatically simplify this process, unlocking a rich ecosystem of interconnected tools and services.”
