cBridge Partners With Aurora To Enable Cross-Chain Bridges

Published on: 05.01.2022

Celer Network has successfully implemented bridging support for Aurora, an EVM scaling network that runs on NEAR Protocol and takes advantage of its many unique features, including sharding and fast finality.

Through the partnership, users will be able to bridge USDC, USDT, and WETH in a liquidity-pool-based model directly between Aurora and 11 other chains supported on cBridge.

Celer will launch liquidity mining programs for these pools when they launch. Going forward, Aurora will join Celer in promoting the Open Canonical Token Standard to its ecosystem. The standard enables protocols and chains to onboard multiple bridging solutions at the same time, as well as managing cross-chain transfer quotas on the different solutions by assigning and adjusting transfer caps according to their preferences on fees, finality speed and the statuses of the bridges. Celer’s cross-chain support on Aurora following the standard will start with tokens including $BUSD, $BNB, $MATIC, $AVAX, $FTM, $CELO, $MOVR from their respective native chains, outlining a more secure and flexible approach to facilitate interoperability between Aurora and the broader blockchain space.
