Ledger said it has expanded support for Celo by integrating Celo’s CIP-64 fee abstraction feature into Ledger Live. With the update, users can pay onchain gas fees with 18 Celo-native assets instead of relying only on CELO. The supported assets are USDT, USDC, USDm, EURm, GBPm, JPYm, CADm, AUDm, CHFm, BRLm, NGNm, PHPm, COPm, KESm, ZARm, XOFm, GHSm and WETH. Celo introduced CIP-64 in the Gingerbread hard fork in July 2023, allowing approved ERC-20 tokens to be used directly for transaction fees. According to official disclosure, nearly half of transactions on Celo are now settling fees with dollar stablecoins rather than CELO. Ledger had previously added support in Ledger Live in December 2025 for sending, receiving and swapping CELO and Celo-native stablecoins.
