Receiving CELO, WBTC and Blue Chips on Celo, Gnosis and Mode

Celo accepts native CELO plus WBTC, WETH, DAI and LINK (alongside USDT and USDC). CELO is a first-class receive token: you can land the network’s gas and governance token directly, which is exactly what you need before using Celo apps.

Gnosis Chain accepts WBTC and WETH (plus USDT and USDC). The network’s native tokens GNO and WXDAI exist in the catalog, but the cross-chain bridge routes land WBTC and WETH — there are no DAI or LINK routes on Gnosis.

Mode accepts WETH and LINK (plus USDT and USDC). There are no WBTC or DAI routes on Mode, so Bitcoin exposure has to land on Scroll, Linea, zkSync Era, Mantle, Celo or Gnosis instead.

Celo’s native stablecoins cUSD, cEUR and cREAL are not part of the bridge receive catalog — the routing providers list only their Aave-wrapped variants, which are not the same tokens and are not offered as receive targets.

For dollar exposure on Celo, receive USDT, USDC or DAI instead — all three settle natively on Celo through AEXI. For Celo-native exposure, receive CELO itself.

Open the Ethereum ETH to Celo CELO pair page, or pick ETH as the source and Celo CELO as the destination in the swap widget.

Enter the amount. AEXI quotes the exact CELO output, the bridge fee and the expected completion time before you sign.

Confirm in your wallet and follow the request tracker. CELO typically lands within 1-5 minutes, ready to pay gas on Celo immediately — no separate funding transaction needed.

You pay Ethereum gas for the source transaction plus the bridge fee baked into the quote, with the standard 0.1–0.3% optimization fee only on successful swaps.

Completion is usually 1-5 minutes. Gnosis and Celo finality can occasionally stretch a route toward 15 minutes; the request tracker shows every hop so you always know where the funds are.
