Celer Network Partnership with Astar Network

Published on: 20.01.2022

Celer cBridge now supports bridging to the Astar Network using the Open Canonical Token Standard. The Astar Network community will be able to use cBridge for a fast, low-cost cross-chain bridging experience between Astar Network and 18 other supported blockchains and layer2 networks. Additionally, the underlyingl Celer Inter-chain Messaging Framework (Celer IM) will enable cross-chain function calling, cross-chain dApp composability, and general message passing on the Astar Network very soon.This means that users from other blockchain ecosystems will be able to use applications built and deployed on Astar Network through Celer IM once it has been fully integrated.

In this initial integration, users can bridge ETH, USDT, USDC, DAI from Ethereum and BNB, BUSD from BSC to Astar Network.
