Interested in bridging to Celo? Use Squid and directly bridge any token to Celo from any EVM or Cosmos chains! We’ve put a guide together to show you how.

For the below example, we’ll be swapping $USDC from Arbitrum to $CELO on Celo.

Step 1 - Connect your wallet to app.squidrouter.com or v2.app.squidrouter.com

Step 2 - Click the chain and token dropdown under ‘From’ to select the source chain you will be swapping from, and select the source token you will be using to swap.

Please note: your selected source token must already have an available amount in your wallet in order to swap, if it does not, you will not have sufficient funds.

Step 3 - Now that you’ve selected your source chain and token, it’s time to select Celo as your destination chain and $CELO as your destination token.

Step 4 - Choose the amount of $USDC you’d like to bridge to $CELO on Celo.

Review your order summary and then click submit. Your tokens will now be on their way!

Congratulations! You’ve successfully bridged to Celo. Remember to add the token you bridged to your wallet if it is new.
