👉Obtaining Celo assets cUSD/cEUR/cREAL/CELO/...

How to obtain CELO

Acquiring and withdrawing from Centralized Exchange

CELO is listed on several exchanges worldwide, such as Binance, Coinbase, KuCoin, Bittrex, Huobi, Gate.io, Upbit and OKX See the full list. You should be able to withdraw the CELO into your own personal wallet.

Buying through our 'Buy Crypto' page (powered by Ramp)

Use a Gas Station to bypass centralized providers

Tools like https://o3swap.com/gas-station or Via Router (Refuel) can be used to swap an asset on Polygon, for CELO tokens on Celo. This will get you the gas required to pay transaction fees on the Celo chain. This way you can bypass centralized exchanges.
