Celo Mainnet is a blockchain network identified by chain ID 42220. It uses CELO as its native token, with 18 decimal places. Initially launched in 2020 as a standalone Layer 1 blockchain, Celo transitioned to an Ethereum Layer 2 network on March 26, 2025, utilizing the OP Stack to enhance scalability and interoperability.
The network is designed to facilitate mobile-first decentralized applications (dApps), enabling users to send and receive digital assets using phone numbers as proxies for public keys. This approach aims to simplify the user experience for individuals unfamiliar with traditional cryptographic addresses.
Celo's ecosystem includes platform-native stablecoins, such as Celo Dollar (cUSD) and Celo Euro (cEUR), which aim to track the value of their respective fiat currencies. These stablecoins are intended to provide a stable medium of exchange within the Celo network.
For developers, Celo offers an EVM-compatible environment, allowing the deployment of smart contracts and dApps using familiar tools and languages. The network's mobile-centric design and native stablecoins aim to make decentralized financial tools more accessible to a broader audience.
