Celo

Celo API is available on Web3 API platform.

Celo is a mobile-first blockchain designed to make decentralized financial (DeFi) tools and services accessible to anyone with a mobile phone.

Celo is a layer 1 protocol and blockchain platform. The Celo Mainnet is entirely separate from the Ethereum network. The Celo client originated as a fork of Ethereum Go language client, go-ethereum (or geth). Celo has several significant differences, including a Proof-of-Stake-based Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance (PBFT) consensus mechanism.

All the crypto assets on Celo have ERC-20 compliant interfaces, meaning that while they are not ERC-20 tokens on the Ethereum Mainnet, all familiar tooling and code that support ERC-20 tokens can be easily adapted for Celo assets, including Celo Native Asset (CELO) and Celo Dollar (cUSD).

Add networks to MetaMask

Using Ankr as the blockchain provider for MetaMask makes user interaction on Web3 not just easy and slick but also PRIVATE. We DON'T collect users' blockchain addresses — end of the story. Feel free to check our terms and privacy policy to be sure.

For MetaMask to interact with Celo through Ankr's infrastructure, add a required Celo network either via Web3 API platform's or MetaMask's UI.

Via Web3 API platform

To be added soon.

Via MetaMask

To add Celo Mainnet, follow these steps:

In MetaMask extension, click Networks (drop-down menu) > Add network to open Settings.
In the Add a network pane, click Add a network manually, then enter the network details and click Save:
- Network name: Celo Mainnet by Ankr RPC.
- New RPC URL: https://rpc.ankr.com/celo/.
- Chain ID: 42220.
- Currency symbol: CELO.
- Block explorer URL: https://explorer.celo.org/.

Congrats — you've just added Ankr as the blockchain provider for MetaMask to interact with Celo Mainnet.

Ethereum Beacon

tip

Available for Premium users only.

Ethereum Beacon API is available on Web3 API platform upon switching on the Beacon toggle.

The Ethereum Beacon Chain is a consensus layer that introduced a proof-of-stake to Ethereum. The Beacon Chain mechanism is responsible for creating new blocks, making sure those new blocks are valid, and rewarding validators with ETH for keeping the network secure.

The Beacon Chain has several clients to choose from, serving the same purpose but built with slightly different focus in mind:

Prysm — focuses on usability, security, and reliability. Prysm is developed by Prysmatic Labs, a company with the sole focus on the development of their client.
Lighthouse — a client with a heavy focus on speed and security. Built by Sigma Prime, an information security and software engineering firm who have funded Lighthouse along with the Ethereum Foundation, ConsenSys, and private individuals.
Nimbus — strives to be as lightweight as possible in terms of resources used. This allows it to perform well on embedded systems, resource-restricted devices — including Raspberry Pis — and multi-purpose servers.
