| Extremely fast, secure synchronization between mobile devices and the Celo network means that even wallet users with high latency, low bandwidth, or high-cost data tariffs can use Celo. Celo removes the need to check every header before a received header can be trusted. The performance will be further improved with BLS signature aggregation and succinct zero-knowledge proofs, via zk-SNARKs. | ||

| ### **Proof-of-Stake** | ||
| ### Proof-of-Stake | ||
|
|
||
| Celo uses a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus algorithm. In comparison to Proof-of-Work (PoW) systems like Bitcoin and Ethereum, this eliminates the negative environmental impact and means that users can make transactions that are cheaper, faster, and where the outcome cannot be changed once complete. | ||

||
| ### **Full Node Incentives** | ||
| ### On-chain Governance | ||
|
|
||
| The Celo protocol offers incentives for running full nodes to service the light clients that run on each mobile device. Unlike other Proof-of-Stake systems, users can still earn cryptocurrency in exchange for providing compute resources without having to stake funds. | ||
| Since great user experiences and operating a modern networking protocol need iteration and improvement, Celo supports rapid upgrades and protocol changes via on-chain governance in which all CELO holders can participate. | ||

| ### **On-chain Governance** | ||
|
|
||
| Since great user experiences need constant iteration, Celo supports rapid upgrades and protocol changes via on-chain governance in which all cryptocurrency holders can participate. | ||
|
|
||
| ### **Programmable (Full EVM Compatibility)** | ||
| ### Programmable (Full EVM Compatibility | ||
|
|
||
| Celo includes a programmable smart contract platform that is compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), which is already widely adopted, familiar to developers and has strong tool support. This enables Celo to deliver rich user features and rapidly support a wide ecosystem of third-party applications and extensions. | ||
|
|
||
| ### **Self Custody** | ||
| ### Self Custody | ||
|
|
||
| Users have access to and fully control their funds and account keys, and don't need to depend on third parties to make payments. | ||

| Celo has a validator set with a current size of 110 validators. Validators are elected to this set on a daily basis; typically more validators stand for election than seats available. The validator set size may be raised in the future through the [on-chain governance](../celo-codebase/protocol/governance) process. | ||
