Setting up Celo Network
Setup
Make sure to have MetaMask installed. See here to download. Then, follow the instructions to create an account. Make sure to save your seed phrase safely!
Adding a Celo Network to MetaMask
Open MetaMask, click your profile image on the top right corner, and then click "Settings". Next, scroll down to "Networks" and click. Finally, press the "Add Network" button.
Celo Mainnet
Network Name: Celo (Mainnet)
New RPC URL: https://forno.celo.org
Chain ID: 42220
Currency Symbol (Optional): CELO
Block Explorer URL (Optional): https://explorer.celo.org
2. Press "Save". The Celo network you just configured should now show up under MetaMask's "Networks" dropdown list.
Adding Tokens (e.g. cUSD, cEUR)
From MetaMask's Home screen, click on "Add Token" in the "Assets" tab.
Click "Custom Token", and fill in the value for "Token Contract Address" for the token you'd like to add. The "Token Symbol" and "Decimals of Precision" should be filled in automatically.
The following are examples for cUSD and cEUR.
Token Contract Address for cUSD: 0x765de816845861e75a25fca122bb6898b8b1282a
Token Contract Address for cEUR: 0xd8763cba276a3738e6de85b4b3bf5fded6d6ca73
Sending assets to Metamask
Celo addresses have the same format as Ethereum addresses, so copying and pasting an address into the "to" field should work for most applications.
