Celo Foundation

Celo is an Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain built for real-world payments and financial inclusion, offering sub-cent transaction fees, one-second block times, native stablecoins, and the ability to pay gas in ERC-20 tokens such as USDC and USDT. The Celo Foundation is the nonprofit stewarding the protocol and its ecosystem. Developers build on Celo with EVM-compatible tooling: the ContractKit and Connect JavaScript SDKs, the celocli command-line interface, a documented Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for AI agents, ethers.js/viem support, Hardhat/Foundry environments, the Alfajores testnet with a public faucet, and MiniPay mobile-wallet integrations. This profile was seeded as a polychain portfolio lead and enriched from Celo's public developer surface.

Celo Foundation is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Layer 1, Blockchain, Web3, and Stablecoins.

Celo Foundation’s developer surface includes documentation, getting-started guide, engineering blog, support, CLI, sandbox, and 15 more developer resources.
