- Learn more and see the code with the Dappkit truffle box
Python SDK
Java SDK

Valora provides a clean, intuitive UI where users can send transactions and interact with smart contracts
Forno
- Node access service so you can connect your dapp to the Celo blockchain without having to run node infrastructure
ODIS
- Oblivious decentralized identity service
- Lightweight identity layer that makes it easy to send cryptocurrency to a phone number
Blockscout block explorers
- Alfajores testnet & mainnet
Stats.celo.org to check network activity and health

Alfajores Testnet
- Faucet for free testnet CELO and cUSD
- Forno supports connections to alfajores
- Requires Alfajores Celo wallet for mobile device testing (please request, support@clabs.co)
Baklava testnet for validators and testing protocol changes
