Peanut Protocol for Secure Transactions The Peanut Protocol is employed to secure financial transactions between buyers and sellers. It utilizes secret-protected vault smart contracts, where:
- The sender deposits tokens into a vault with a secret.
- A URL containing the secret is sent to the recipient.
- The recipient withdraws the funds using the secret within the URL.
This mechanism ensures that funds are securely held until the transaction is confirmed by the recipient, reducing the risk of fraud and enhancing trust in the platform.

XMTP for Customer Communication CeloSwap integrates XMTP (Extensible Message Transport Protocol) to facilitate secure and decentralized messaging between businesses and customers. XMTP ensures that all communications are private and tamper-proof, improving customer support and engagement.
