TL;DR Web 2.0 applications often operate as walled gardens with limited data interoperability, resulting in user lock-in and fragmented identities. Web3 decentralized applications (dApps) built on top of blockchains have the potential to overcome these issues. However, smart contracts, which are the core of dApps, currently lack a trust-free way to access and utilize the … Read more
After our initial integration in early 2022 for both asset bridging and generic message passing (Celer IM) support for zkSync Lite (previously zkSync 1.0), we are happy to be able to expand that support to zkSync Era (previously zkSync 2.0). As zkSync Era continues to grow closer to their public mainnet launch, we are excited … Read more
Benchmarking Circuit Frameworks using SHA-256 We’d like to thank the teams from Polygon Zero, gnark project at Consensys, Pado Labs, and Delphinus Lab for their valuable review and feedback on this blog. Over the past several months, we’ve dedicated a significant amount of time and effort into developing cutting-edge infrastructure that leverages zk-SNARK succinct proofs. … Read more

A new era for inter-chain dApps has come! We are excited to announce that the Celer Inter-chain Message (Celer IM) framework has launched on mainnet today. Through Celer IM, developers can build inter-chain dApps using the Celer Inter-chain Message SDK with efficient liquidity utilization, coherent application logic, and shared states across multiple blockchains. Users of … Read more
We are excited to announce that the State Guardian Network (SGN) v2 is now live at sgn.celer.network! This upgrade ushers in a brand new user experience and direct value capture from Celer cBridge and Inter-chain Message framework for SGN stakers. In addition to the regular PoS staking rewards, stakers will now receive transaction fee earnings … Read more
Today, we are ecstatic to announce the launch of the Celer Inter-chain Message (Celer IM) Framework! Celer IM fundamentally changes how multi-blockchain dApps are built and used. Instead of deploying multiple isolated copies of smart contracts on different blockchains, developers can now build inter-chain-native dApps with efficient liquidity utilization, coherent application logic, and shared states. … Read more
As the holidays and New Year’s are approaching, our thoughts have turned to all of the love and support we have been receiving for cBridge, and we wanted to return some of that back to this amazing community. We are excited to announce that we will be able to do that through a special end-of-year … Read more
As more smart contract compatible chains go live everyday, we are seeing that third-party canonical token bridges are starting to quickly gain traction. We’ve seen projects and blockchain ecosystems often resort to one of the simple “mint & burn” solutions that give unrestricted control of the bridged assets to only a single bridge. However, what … Read more
TL;DR We are rolling out an upgrade to cBridge 2.0 on 02:00 UTC 12/03/2021 in order to accommodate some key feature requests from our awesome user and developer communities. This is in order to better support generalized multi-chain dApps, native token bridging and a new functionality called “Bridging as a Service”. While we are rolling … Read more
