Celo adds cNGN and Ripio wFIAT support to x402 facilitator

Celo says its native x402 facilitator now supports cNGN and Ripio’s wFIAT stack, expanding agentic stablecoin payments across eight currencies.

Celo Core Co. said its native x402 facilitator has expanded to support cNGN and Ripio’s local-currency stablecoins wMXN, wCLP and wPEN, broadening the network’s agentic payment rail across Nigeria and several Latin American markets. The update, published on October 27, 2026, extends Celo’s hosted verification and settlement service for stablecoin payments and comes after earlier additions of Ripio’s wARS, wBRL and wCOP.

According to Celo Core Co., the facilitator now supports 10 stablecoins in total, including USDC, USD₮, USA₮, wARS, wBRL, wCOP, wMXN, wCLP, wPEN and cNGN. The company said the service is designed for APIs, applications and AI agents to pay per request using HTTP 402 Payment Required, with the facilitator verifying signed payment payloads and submitting settlement onchain. Celo’s description says the system is non-custodial for payment transfers, with funds moving directly from buyer to merchant.

The company said the latest additions complete Ripio’s six-token wFIAT suite on Celo and make cNGN agentic-payment ready on the network. , said supporting the naira and completing Ripio’s wFIAT stack means an agent on Celo can settle in its owner’s own currency across Latin America and Nigeria. Sebastian Serrano, CEO of Ripio, said the full set of wFIAT currencies now works natively on Celo for agentic payments. Charles Okaformbah, managing director of WrappedCBDC Limited, said cNGN was built to move across multiple networks and that Celo’s facilitator opens a new use case for naira-denominated payments by agents.
