What is the Celo Sepolia Testnet?
The Celo Sepolia Testnet is Celo’s new developer testnet built on Ethereum Sepolia, designed to replace Alfajores following the planned Holesky deprecation in September 2025. This testnet provides a stable environment for developers to build, test, and deploy decentralized applications before launching on Mainnet. Developers can access testnet funds via the faucet, interact with smart contracts, and experiment with wallets, dApps, and node operations without financial risk. Key Details:- Chain ID: 11142220
- L1 Foundation: Built on Ethereum Sepolia
- Fresh State: Starts with a clean slate, no state inheritance from Alfajores
- Functionality: Provides the same developer experience as Alfajores
