Celo RPC
What is Celo?
Celo is an EVM-compatible blockchain designed for real-world payment applications and financial services. Originally launched as a Layer 1 blockchain, Celo has migrated to a Layer 2 architecture while maintaining full compatibility with Ethereum development tools. Celo uses a Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism and achieves 1-second block finality after its L2 migration. The network supports fee abstraction, allowing gas payments in multiple currencies including native stablecoins like cUSD, cEUR, and cREAL.
The blockchain implements phone number mapping to wallet addresses through a decentralized identity protocol for simplified payments. Celo's algorithmic stability protocol maintains multiple stablecoins pegged to fiat currencies through a reserve mechanism.
Interacting with Celo
Celo provides full Ethereum JSON-RPC compatibility with additional methods for Celo-specific features. Developers can use standard Ethereum tools like Ethers.js, Hardhat, and MetaMask with Celo by configuring the appropriate network endpoints.
With this API, you can:
- Execute all standard Ethereum JSON-RPC methods (eth_call, eth_sendTransaction, eth_getBalance)
- Implement fee abstraction to allow gas payments in multiple currencies
- Subscribe to real-time events via WebSocket connections
You can access the API by:
- Running a local Celo node
- Using a hosted provider such as a Quicknode Celo endpoint, which provides low-latency access to supported networks
