According to Odaily, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin's recent commendation of Celo has sparked a debate within the blockchain community. On-chain detective ZachXBT expressed skepticism, stating, 'I have yet to see a real user of Celo; it is an integrated 'ghost chain' within the Optimism stack.'

ZachXBT also agreed with comments suggesting that platforms like Metal DAO and Celo are leveraging the superchain mechanism to gain incentives from the OP ecosystem. This discussion highlights differing opinions on the actual utility and user base of Celo, raising questions about its role and effectiveness within the broader blockchain landscape.
