Developer tools and resources

This section contains information about some of the key tools and resources that will help developers start building applications on Celo.

For a comprehensive list of resources and information, review Celo Docs.

QUICK START GUIDES

View the Developer Code Examples page to get started using the Celo SDKs with guided coding exercises.

Tutorials

TOOLS

Boilerplates

  • celo-composer
    • Celo Composer allows you to quickly build, deploy, and iterate on decentralized applications using Celo. It provides a number of frameworks, examples, and Celo specific functionality to help you get started with your next dApp.

SDKs

  • ContractKit
    • Javascript package of Celo blockchain utilities
    • Manage connections to the Celo blockchain, accounts, send transactions, interact with smart contracts, etc.
    • A set of wrappers around the core protocol smart contracts to easily connect with contracts related to governance, validators, on-chain exchange, etc.
    • Includes web3.js
  • Celo Ethers.js Wrapper (experimental)
    • A minimal wrapper to make ethers.js compatible with the Celo network
  • use-react
    • The easiest way to access Celo in your React applications 🔥. react-celo is a React hook for managing access to Celo with a built-in headless modal system for connecting to your users wallet of choice.
    • Now your DApp can be made available to everyone in the Celo ecosystem, from Valora users to self custodied Ledger users.
    • By default react-celo is styled so that you can drop it into your application and go, however it's fully customisable so you can maintain a consistent UX throughout your application.
  • DappKit
    • Easily connect to the Valora wallet with your React Native mobile application
    • Valora manages user account, private keys and transaction signing, so you can focus on building your dapp
    • Learn more and see the code with the Dappkit truffle box
  • Python SDK
  • Java SDK
  • iOS SDK

Infrastructure

  • Valora provides a clean, intuitive UI where users can send transactions and interact with smart contracts
  • Forno
  • Node access service so you can connect your dapp to the Celo blockchain without having to run node infrastructure
  • ODIS
  • Oblivious decentralized identity service
  • Lightweight identity layer that makes it easy to send cryptocurrency to a phone number
  • Blockscout block explorers
  • Alfajores testnet & mainnet
  • Stats.celo.org to check network activity and health

Networks

Ethereum Tools

  • Similarities between Celo and Ethereum means you can use many of the most popular Ethereum developer tools.
  • Celo supports the EVM, so tools for writing smart contracts in Solidity (or any language that compiles to EVM bytecode) are compatible with Celo
  • ERC20, NFT (ERC721) and other smart contract interface standards are supported, see Celo for Ethereum Developers
  • Truffle
  • OpenZeppelin
  • Remix
