Four months ago we picked the first four chains for Tip.md by asking a single question: where are developers already receiving value, and how fast can we move it?
Ethereum gave us liquidity, Base gave us low fees, Solana gave us speed, Lightning gave us Bitcoin.
The fifth chain had to close a different gap: mobile money outside the G7. Celo, the Ethereum Layer-2 built for the real-world and designed for fast, low cost transactions worldwide fit.
A one-dollar tip still costs less than one percent in fees.
70% of active Celo wallets run on Android devices that retail for under $120.
USDT and USDC already circulate at eight-figure daily volumes on the network.
From today, every Tip.md user inherits the upgrade automatically. If your dashboard lists an Ethereum address, it now accepts USDT, USDC and CELO on Celo—no new keys, no extra buttons.
Your README button will work for:
Global Creator: A maintainer in Berlin paying in USDT from a desktop wallet
Mobile Supporter: A student in Lagos tipping the same maintainer in USDC from a mobile browser
Both transactions cost the sender the same fraction of a cent and settle in the same five-second window.
Geography stops being a pricing constraint.
Until 30 September, anyone who sends ≥ 1 USDT on Celo through Tip.md receives $SLICES tokens from Divvi's Circulate USDT campaign.
No extra clicks, no opt-in forms; the reward is delivered to the sender's wallet automatically. After 30 September the campaign ends and the flow returns to its usual 4% platform fee.
Want to test Celo's ultra-low fees? Try tipping us:
Asset | Chain | Median transfer fee | Confirmation time |
|---|---|---|---|
USDT | Celo | $0.002 | 5 s |
USDC | Celo | $0.002 | 5 s |
CELO | Celo | $0.002 | 5 s |
That's the entire migration: one new network, three liquid assets, and a modest incentive for the people who keep the protocol alive.
Shipped.
