Celo L2 is now live and integrated with Alchemy's complete developer platform

We’re thrilled to announce our integration with Celo, bringing our infrastructure and powerful developer tools to the ecosystem as Celo transitions to an Ethereum Layer 2 on March 26, 2025, at 3:00 AM UTC (block height: 31056500).

Our integration ensures developers immediately benefit from our scalable, reliable infrastructure, ready to start building a faster, more secure, and more composable Celo.

Celo’s upcoming Ethereum L2 launch delivers:

  • Fast, Low-Cost Transactions — 1-second block times and consistently low gas fees provide an impressive user experience.

  • Ethereum Compatibility — Built on the OP Stack, Celo achieves full EVM equivalence, contributing to Ethereum’s rollup scaling roadmap.

  • Seamless Interoperability — CELO becomes native to both Ethereum and Celo, enhancing composability and ecosystem connectivity.

Backed by our trusted infrastructure, developers can now confidently build and scale applications on Celo, building with the complete developer platform that powers web3.

At mainnet launch, we’ll enter the Celo ecosystem as a RPC provider. This partnership gives developers immediate access to Supernode, our scalable, always-on node API infrastructure.

After mainnet launch, we’ll quickly add support for additional key products, including:

  • Token API: Easily fetch token balances and metadata.

  • Transfers API: Track asset movements with simplicity.

  • Webhooks: Keep your dApps responsive and event-driven.

  • Embedded Wallets: Smooth onboarding experiences with ready-built components, social logins, and customizable branding.

Our goal is to help developers build with the best infrastructure in web3, encouraging projects to adopt the Celo ecosystem.
