Choosing a wallet
Celo works with a range of wallets, each offering features to meet different user needs. The Celo native wallets section provides an overview of wallets that are optimized for the Celo network. These wallets allow users to fully benefit from Celo’s native functionalities, such as phone number mapping and fee abstraction. Some wallets charge gas in CELO even if you hold stablecoins; see which wallets can pay gas in stablecoins. The Celo compatible wallets section provides an overview of commonly used wallets that support the Celo network.Celo native wallets

Troubleshooting
Connect MetaMask to Celo
MetaMask does not show Celo until the network is added. Add it with the button below; the chain ID and RPC URL are on the network overview. If an app asks you to install MetaMask when you already have it, the app could not detect the extension in that browser. Open the app in the browser profile where MetaMask is installed, or connect with another wallet from the lists above.Find your Celo address
Celo uses Ethereum-style addresses (0x…, 42 characters). Open your wallet and copy the address it shows for Celo. Check the network name before you send: a transfer on the wrong network can be lost.
Recover a wallet
Celo has no usernames or passwords. A wallet is controlled by its recovery phrase (seed phrase) or private key. To restore a wallet, import the recovery phrase into a wallet app. Without it, no one can recover the funds: not Celo, and not the wallet’s maker. Never share your recovery phrase with anyone, including people who say they are support.A token does not appear in your wallet
Check that the wallet is on the Celo network, then add the token by its contract address. Stablecoin addresses are listed in stablecoin contracts; use the Celo Mainnet column. Tokens sent on another network do not show up on Celo.Move funds in or out
- Ramps: convert between local currency and crypto with a provider.
- Exchanges: buy or sell CELO.
- Bridges: move assets between Celo and other networks.
