Send CELO and EURm from Celo to Algorand through the Wormhole Token Bridge. They are the only Celo tokens with a wrapped asset on Algorand, and each can later go back to Celo.
Tokens you can send
A token can go to Algorand only if it already has a Wormhole-wrapped asset there. On 25 October 2026, 2 tokens from Celo did:
| Token | Address on Celo | Arrives on Algorand as |
|---|---|---|
| CELO | No address needed | CELO, ASA 1618598027 |
| EURm (formerly cEUR) | 0xD8763CBa276a3738E6DE85b4b3bF5FDed6D6cA73 | cEUR, ASA 891408509 |
CELO is Celo's own coin and needs no address. To send an ERC-20 token, paste its contract address on the To Algorand page. The wrapped assets page lists every Celo token on Algorand.
Tokens that left Algorand through Wormhole go home the same way. Wormhole-wrapped ALGO on Celo (0xd3a1310E7c8c4608B774FAb2985E50532CE9AeCb) arrives on Algorand as ALGO.
How long it takes
Wormhole guardians sign a transfer from this chain only once its block is final on Ethereum. In recent transfers that took about 23 minutes (from 15 to 29). Then you redeem the transfer on Algorand, which takes a few seconds.
How to send from Celo to Algorand
- Connect a wallet for Celo in the wallet bar: any browser wallet that supports EIP-6963, such as MetaMask or Rabby, or a phone wallet through WalletConnect. Connect your Algorand wallet too, Pera or Lute, to redeem.
- On the To Algorand page, choose the token and amount, and enter the Algorand address that should receive it. An Algorand account has to opt in to an asset before it can hold it, which sets aside 0.1 ALGO of minimum balance. The page checks the recipient and offers the opt-in if it is needed.
- Review the transfer and approve it in your Celo wallet. You pay Celo's network fee; this site charges nothing.
- Wait for the guardians to sign the transfer. The page shows when it is ready.
- Redeem it on Algorand. The fees are usually under 0.01 ALGO, and any Algorand account can pay them. If the recipient has not opted in yet, the recipient has to redeem, because the opt-in goes into the same group.
Large transfers
Wormhole's Governor holds a single transfer worth more than $10,000 from Celo for 24 hours, and these do not count toward its daily limit. Smaller transfers from Celo share a limit of $10,000 over any 24 hours: one that would take the total above it waits until there is room again, or for 24 hours at most. A held transfer is not lost: the guardians sign it when the hold ends, and you redeem it as usual. (Limits on 25 October 2026.)
Good to know
- Celo's token bridge has no wrapped gas token, so CELO travels as the ERC-20 token it also is,
0x471EcE3750Da237f93B8E339c536989b8978a438. It takes an approval and then the transfer, and Max keeps back enough CELO for the gas of both. - Celo's dollar stablecoin (USDm, formerly cUSD) has no wrapped asset on Algorand, so it cannot be sent there.
- Celo has the lowest Governor limits of the chains here, so a transfer over $10,000 waits a day.
A transfer that did not arrive can be finished later. See stuck transfers.
