The Stack Celo Builders Ship On

Quicknode is a leading Celo RPC provider, serving Celo mainnet over low-latency Ethereum JSON-RPC from 17+ global regions with a 99.99% uptime SLA. You get a private endpoint in seconds, the Debug API, full archive, and Streams and Webhooks, on a platform that handles 500B+ requests a month across 80+ chains.

Celo is a mobile-first, EVM-compatible chain focused on financial inclusion, which migrated from a standalone layer 1 to an Ethereum layer 2. It uses CELO for gas, with fee abstraction that lets users pay in stablecoins like cUSD. Mainnet runs on chain ID 42220.

Create a free Quicknode account, select Celo, and a private RPC URL is generated instantly. You get both HTTPS and WSS endpoints with full method coverage and rate limits that scale with your plan. No credit card is required for the free tier.

A Celo node syncs the network and serves JSON-RPC requests. Running one means managing hardware, client upgrades, sync, and archive retention. A managed Quicknode Celo endpoint exposes the same RPC interface without requiring your team to operate node infrastructure.

Quicknode supports Ethereum JSON-RPC and the Debug API on Celo, including eth_call, eth_getLogs, eth_sendRawTransaction, and debug_traceTransaction. Celo endpoints also support WSS, Streams, and Webhooks for real-time data.

Yes. Quicknode runs full archive nodes for Celo with no pruning, plus the Debug API for debug_traceTransaction and debug_traceBlockByNumber. You can query historical state and trace transactions for indexing, simulation, and analytics.

Yes. Celo is fully EVM compatible. Deploy existing Solidity contracts with Hardhat, Foundry, or Remix without modification, and use ethers.js, web3.js, viem, and @quicknode/sdk against your Quicknode endpoint exactly as you would on Ethereum.

Quicknode serves Celo mainnet (chain ID 42220) over HTTPS and WSS, with full archive data and real-time Streams and Webhooks.

Quicknode serves Celo from a global edge network that routes each request to the nearest node, backed by a 99.99% uptime SLA. The JSON-RPC, Debug, and archive endpoints run on the same low-latency infrastructure that handles 500B+ requests a month across 80+ chains.

Yes, there is a free tier. You can create a Celo endpoint with no credit card and start building over Ethereum JSON-RPC. Paid plans raise rate limits and throughput, and add archive depth, Streams, and Webhooks, as your app grows.

Celo mainnet uses chain ID 42220 and CELO as the native gas token. To add it to a wallet, use your Quicknode RPC URL, chain ID 42220, the currency symbol CELO, and the explorer at celoscan.io.

Use Quicknode Streams for backfill and real-time blocks, logs, and traces delivered to your datastore, and Webhooks for push notifications on addresses and events. For in-app subscriptions, connect over WSS and use eth_subscribe.

Celo is built for mobile-first finance: stablecoin payments and remittances, wallets that use phone-number mapping, savings and lending, and consumer apps that reach users on low-end devices.
