Celer cBridge Partners with Astar Network to Enable Asset Bridging and Inter-chain Messaging
We are excited to announce that Celer cBridge now supports bridging to the Astar Network using the Open Canonical Token Standard. The Astar Network community is now able to use cBridge for a fast, low-cost cross-chain bridging experience between Astar Network $ASTR and 15 other supported blockchains and layer2 networks.
Additionally, the underlying 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.
Use the bridge here:

About Celer
Celer Network is a layer-2 scaling platform that brings fast, secure, and low-cost blockchain applications on Ethereum, Polkadot, and other blockchains to mass adoption. Celer launched the world’s first Generalized State Channel Network and continues to push the frontier of layer-2 scaling with advanced Rollup technology. Core applications and middlewares like cBridge, layer2.finance and more ecosystem applications built on Celer have attracted more large audiences in DeFi, blockchain interoperability, and gaming space.
About Astar
Astar Network (previously known as Plasm) is a dApp hub on Polkadot that supports Ethereum, WebAssembly, and layer 2 solutions like ZK Rollups. Astar aims to be a multi-chain smart contract platform that will support multiple blockchains and virtual machines. Polkadot Relay Chain doesn’t support smart contracts. That’s why it’s important for the ecosystem to have a parachain that enables this for all developers who want to build in the Polkadot ecosystem. Astar is here to provide the best solution for all developers by supporting EVM and making a parachain where EVM and WASM smart contracts can co-exist and communicate with each other.
