Mainnet, Archive, and
Streams in One Dashboard.

Celo builders need more than basic RPC. Quicknode runs the full surface: low-latency JSON-RPC, full archive with debug, and real-time Streams, all from one dashboard.

Data Access for Every Celo Workload

Query, subscribe, and stream Celo data with low latency. From a single eth_call to billions of rows of historical logs, you get the right interface for the job.

JSON-RPC over HTTPS and WSS on Celo Mainnet
Full archive nodes with debug_traceTransaction and debug_traceBlockByNumber
Streams for backfill and real-time Celo blocks, logs, and traces
Webhooks for push notifications on addresses and events
WebSocket subscriptions with eth_subscribe for new blocks and logs

EVM Tooling You Already Know

The Ethereum toolchain you already know works unchanged on Celo. Deploy contracts, manage endpoints, and ship from one Quicknode account.

Deploy and verify Solidity contracts with Hardhat, Foundry, and Remix
Token authentication, rate-limiting, JWT, and whitelisting on every endpoint
ethers.js, web3.js, viem, and @quicknode/sdk supported out of the box
Archive access with debug and trace for indexing and simulation

// Every Celo Data Pattern

The Full Data Suite.
Every Celo Data Pattern.

Multiple ways to access Celo data, from a single eth_call to real-time streams. Pick the interface, ship faster.

Celo JSON-RPC

Standard JSON-RPC over HTTPS and WSS on Celo Mainnet. Every EVM method supported, including eth_call, eth_getLogs, eth_getBalance, eth_sendRawTransaction, and eth_subscribe, with predictable rate limits.

Explore Core RPC API

Full Archive History

Full historical Celo state with no pruning. Read any past block, balance, receipt, or contract state from genesis for indexing, analytics, and reconciliation.

Explore Archive Access

Streams

Backfill and real-time Celo blocks, logs, and traces delivered to your datastore with guaranteed reliability. Filter upstream, receive only the data you actually need.

Explore Streams

Webhooks

Event-driven alerts with guaranteed delivery. Subscribe to specific addresses, event types, or onchain conditions.

Explore Webhooks

Debug API

Introspect execution with the Debug API. Run debug_traceTransaction and debug_traceBlockByNumber against Celo archive nodes to replay internal calls, decode state changes, and power indexing, simulation, and analytics.

Explore Core RPC API

WebSocket Subscriptions

Subscribe to new Celo blocks and logs over a persistent WSS connection with eth_subscribe. Push updates the moment they land, with no polling.

// Built for EVM Developers

Your Ethereum app runs on Celo.

Celo is an EVM-compatible Ethereum layer 2, so the tooling you already know works unchanged. ethers.js, web3.js, viem, and web3.py all hit a Quicknode Celo endpoint the same way they hit Ethereum. Same methods, same SDK, just a different RPC URL.

No rewrites

Point your existing Ethereum codebase at a Quicknode Celo endpoint and deploy. Contracts, libraries, and tooling carry over.

Same JSON-RPC methods

eth_call, eth_getLogs, eth_sendRawTransaction, and eth_subscribe all behave exactly as they do on Ethereum.

// Your Ethereum code, pointed at Celo
import { createPublicClient, http } from "viem";


const client = createPublicClient({
  // Celo mainnet, chain ID 42220
  chain: { id: 42220, name: "Celo" },
  transport: http(QUICKNODE_CELO_URL)
});


const block = await client.getBlockNumber();


// Same methods, same SDK. Celo is EVM compatible.
// Add Celo to MetaMask

Connect MetaMask to Celo in seconds.

Open MetaMask, go to Settings, Networks, Add Network, and enter your Quicknode Celo RPC URL with the details on the right. Save, and MetaMask routes through your private Quicknode endpoint instead of a rate-limited public RPC.
