How To Use CeloDex

Table of Contents

The Celo blockchain ecosystem has been silently and steadily growing in 2021. This blockchain now holds more than $600M in cryptocurrency assets. Most of that liquidity has gone to Mento, which is the “flagship” dex on Celo but others like CeloDex are attracting attention as well.

What Is CeloDex? #

CeloDex is an automated market maker (AMM) which is developed and managed by the same team behind PolyDex. The exchange itself doesn’t bring anything revolutionary to the table but it does have interesting farming mechanics.

Most of the rewards are locked long-term with the goal to maintain price but also bring long-term value to token holders and farmers.

How To Use CeloDex? #

To start using CeloDex you will need a Metamask wallet with Celo network added to it. From the dropdown menu in your Metamask wallet click on “Add Network” and enter the following information:

Network Name: Celo (Mainnet)

New RPC URL: https://forno.celo.org

Chain ID: 42220

Currency Symbol (Optional): CELO

Block Explorer URL (Optional): https://explorer.celo.org

Click “save” and the Celo network will be ready to use.

To get started you will need some Celo tokens to pay for the gas fees. The easiest way to acquire some is through a centralized exchange, fiat onramp, bridging funds from other networks or a Celo faucet.

When you have enough Celo to pay for the fees and enough capital to start farming you can go to CeloDex and select the farm of your choice.

If you select the CLX-CELO farm for example, you will need to add liquidity to the CLX-CELO pair on the dex. This can be done by clicking on “Exchange” and then on “Liquidity”. 

Liquidity pools require deposits to be at a 50/50 ratio so your CLX USD value will need to be matched with the same USD value of Celo. Once the deposit is made you will receive LP tokens that serve as a receipt of your deposit. You will need to deposit these LP tokens into the farming corresponding farming contract to start receiving the rewards, in this case that would be the CLX-CELO farm.

Unlock your wallet, approve the farming contract and after that you will be able to deposit the LP tokens. It is important to know that CeloDex has lockup periods that are displayed at the top of every farm. A 30-day lockup period would mean that you can’t remove the LP tokens before 30 days have passed since the deposit. This also locks your liquidity because you will not be able to remove it without the LP tokens so plan accordingly.

Farm rewards are also locked for a certain period of time. Only 30% of the rewards will be available while the rest will be locked for one year and vested after the 1-year period has passed.

More information on lockups and upcoming features can be found on the CeloDex Medium page.

Risks Involved #

As with every DEX and AMM there are some risks involved in the process. Price fluctuations pose a risk of impermanent loss while locked rewards can make your farming efforts obsolete if the price of the native token keeps declining.

Contracts are audited but that is never a guarantee of safety. Doing your own research before using CeloDex and their products is always highly advised.

Conclusion #

The Celo ecosystem is still growing and CeloDex is one of few decentralized exchanges that offer farming on this blockchain. Those that are looking for passive income may find it interesting but as mentioned above, certain risks have to be considered beforehand.

  • What do the risk ratings mean?

Our mission here at RugDoc is to screen for hard rug code that results in 100% theft of ALL underlying funds for ALL participants.

This is the ONE part of the due diligence process that most people cannot simply do on their own as it costs thousands of dollars to hire a senior solidity developer to look over a farm for safety.

A project coin with terrible code can go up in price, and a project with good code and a good team can also go down in price.

Do NOT use our ratings to refer to your likelihood in making money if you invest in the project. They are ONLY in reference to code safety.

Everything else beyond code safety is YOUR responsibility to go do research on. We just make sure the casino you’re betting in won’t rob you before you even get to place a bet.

Our reviews for projects are organized into a few colors.

🟢 Least Risk
These projects are the least likely to hard or soft rug. Usually reserved for cornerstone projects of an ecosystem where it makes no financial sense for them to rug in any manner as they make more money just being legit.

🔵 Low Risk
These projects are usually established projects in an ecosystem that have a track record of success or have KYC’d to us or other authoritative sources in the real world. As a result, it is extremely unlikely for them to soft rug or hard rug their projects. The projects can still fail and the token price can go down, but usually more as a result of natural market forces.

⚪️ Some Risk
This is the default rating for projects with unknown teams but have code that is unlikely to have hard rug risk. Since the team is unknown and doesn’t have a track record of success, it’s entirely possible that they may try to soft rug by dumping tokens, abandoning the project, etc. Even a last minute contract swap to a malicious contract is possible. The only thing that is unlikely is a complete hard rug as long as you are 100% sure you deposit into the contract we review.

🟠 Medium Risk
Similar to Some Risk, but the underlying code itself is custom enough or complex enough that it warrants an elevated risk rating that needs deeper research. Make sure you read every point presented to make sure you’re comfortable with that before entering. Still unlikely to hard rug, but more chances of custom code behaving incorrectly and causing other issues.

🔴 High Risk
Project contains code or practices that are HIGHLY LIKELY to lead to catastrophic losses as they are right now. Make sure you read the description carefully as we will always warn what these issues are. If you see the words Hard Rug anywhere in the review, STAY FAR AWAY!

⚫️ Not Eligible
We reserve the right to not review exceedingly complex projects that would require tens of thousands of dollars of senior security analyst man hours. Typically these are projects that deal with leverage, lending, options, derivatives, and anything that is overly complex and which requires tons of peer reviews and audits from top audit companies.
