Make it Mobile or Else
summary
cello argues mobile first is mandatory, not optional, and demonstrates a working stack: Solidity contracts + Truffle and a Ganache fork, ContractKit for RPC, mobile wallets Valora and cello wallet, and DAppKit for deep‑link signing via Expo/React Native. Projects like Impact Market and PayChan reach >10,000 users by sending daily cUSD micropayments, proving low‑fee mobile UX works in places with 650M mobile users (250M smartphones) and only 10.7% computer ownership in Africa. A public hackathon and grants accelerate adoption.
