🚀 Celer State Guardian Network Launches on Mainnet 🚀

We are excited to announce that the Phase One of the Celer State Guardian Network (SGN) mainnet is now up and running! SGN is the last piece of Celer Network’s coherent layer-2 scaling platform. Today’s launch marks another significant milestone of the Celer layer-2 blockchain scaling platform after the Celer State Channel Network, which was successfully launched more than a year ago and supports hundreds of thousands of users today.

TL;dr
SGN will be fully launched out in multiple phases to maximize security and to exercise the SGN on-chain governance functionality . To ensure a fair launch and staking reward distribution, the first phase (now till end of November) will NOT have reward distribution to make sure our community can practice and understand the process of delegation and staking before the reward starts to distribute fairly. We have also included full instructions for our community members who did not get a chance to try the whole process out to try out delegation, and later validation, directly on the mainnet. We also published a block reward schedule out after extensive research on similar projects and we are open to community feedback.

Reminder: Celer State Guardian Network Transitioning into Phase One on-time. Block Reward Coming!

Phase Zero is coming to an end with no issues found and block reward will start to distribute in two days! In addition, we heard the community's feedback and clarified the block reward ramp-up process during Phase One to Four transition.

Binance Joins Celer State Guardian Network as a Node, offering up to 37.49% Annualized Staking Reward

Binance, one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange and blockchain service provider, launches a node to join Celer State Guardian Network (SGN) and help secure Celer’s layer-2 State Channel Network. Binance also launched a delegation product where users can delegate their CELR token on binance.com and earn up to 37.49% staking reward. The launch of Binance as a staking partner also marks the successful transition to Phase 2 of SGN’s launch phases.

To delegate your token, Binance has built an easy-to-use staking portal where you can delegate your CELR directly via the Locked Staking product.

Celer cBridge: Fast and Low-cost Value Transfer Network for an Interconnected Layer2 and Layer1 Future

We are thrilled to introduce Celer cBridge, a multi-chain network that enables instant, low-cost and ANY-to-ANY value transfers within and across Ethereum’s layer-2 chains, Ethereum main chain and in the future, other layer-1s, and layer-2 on top of those other layer-1 chains.

A summary of some immediate use cases of Celer cBridge are:

- Instant and low-cost multi-hop value transfer between multiple different layer-2 networks on Ethereum, including Optimistic Rollups, such as Optimism, Arbitrum and Celer Rollups, and PoS Sidechains such as Matic and SKALE, without going through underlying layer-1 blockchain.
- Instant entering and existing layer2 from/to Ethereum layer-1 without long delay.
- Two-way bridging between layer-2 on one blockchain and a completely different layer-1 blockchains without going through the corresponding root layer-1 at all.
- Seamless connection to Celer State Channel Network in any single chain with full cross-chain routing support.

Layer2.finance: Get DeFi Mass Adoption Today, Scaling Layer-1 DeFi “In-place” with ZERO Migration

Today, we are excited to introduce Layer2.finance, a Celer Network project that aims to bring mass audiences to the existing Decentralized Finance (DeFi) ecosystem with layer-2 scaling technology. Layer2.finance acts as a low-cost and trust-free gateway for the “early majority” users to explore and benefit from the existing DeFi ecosystem without the concerns of high transaction (gas) costs offsetting their gains.

Layer2.finance enables quadratic scaling of the existing layer-1 DeFi ecosystem “in-place” with no protocol migration needed and therefore, does not cause liquidity fragmentation or break composability. Layer2.finance achieves this using an optimized layer-2 rollup construct to aggregate N small-fish users’ fund allocation transactions on layer-2 into a single one on layer-1 in a trust-free fashion. In this blog post, we’ll discuss the motivation, architecture and launch plan for Layer2.finance.

ELI5 Layer2.Finance: The Modern Subway of the DeFi City

With layer2.finance launching soon, here is an ELI5 writeup about how it works as a subway system in the DeFi City and cuts costs by 100X to earn yield from your favorite protocols like Compound, AAVE, yEarn, Curve, Uniswap and more!

TL;DR:
The entire DeFi ecosystem is like a city with many cool yield-earning shops. However, the only way to get around in it today is by hiring an expensive private limo (individual layer1 txs to provide liquidity). This prevents non-millionaires from benefiting from DeFi.

layer2.finance is basically a subway network under DeFi City (the layer2 rollup scaling platform). Multiple people can get on the same train (i.e. pool liquidity on L1 and aggregate their demands to provide liquidity on L2) and split the costs of a single ride (one tx on L1).

It's 100% non-custodial because the whole subway system is built as a layer-2 rollup scaling platform. More importantly, it can dynamically expand to more stations and even more cities (other layer2 or layer1 chains) as the demands grow and the ecosystem evolves.

Only through the People’s Power, we can truly achieve the vision of the People’s DeFi and actually bank the unbanked. Stay tuned for the boarding call!

Celer eler is pleased to announce InfStones, the world’s leading blockchain infrastructure provider, has joined Celer’s State Guardian Network (SGN) as its validator node and will be heavily involved in supporting Celer’s layer 2 network expansion!

With much of the scalability restrictions of Layer 1 networks, more attention has shifted to Layer 2 as the most anticipated solution. Infstones joining Celer’s State Guardian Network (SGN) as a validator node accelerates the smooth adoption of usability for Celer state channel users.

🚀🚀🚀 The layer2.finance v0.1 Mainnet Launches: Democratize DeFi, Simple and Zero Fees 🚀🚀🚀

Celer Network is thrilled to announce the launch of layer2.finance v0.1 on the Ethereum mainnet! The goal of layer2.finance was to democratize DeFi by directly addressing the two biggest challenges preventing DeFi from reaching mass adoption: the extraordinarily high transaction fees and being very difficult to navigate and use.

Layer2.finance is a novel solution that allows people to access all existing DeFi protocols at a fraction of the cost by acting like a “DeFi Public Transportation System”. With Celer’s advanced layer-2 rollup technology, multiple people split the cost of individual L1 DeFi transactions in a completely trust-free and non-custodial way. Layer2.finance’s simple, “turn-key” user interface (UI), was inspired by you, our community, who was generous with your feedback and support.

For the initial launch, three DeFi protocols on Ethereum are supported on layer2.finance: Compound, AAVE, and Curve (with many more to come soon). This means at a much lower cost, users can deposit funds to AAVE for lending, to Compound for combined lending and automatic $COMP yield farming and to Curve 3Pool for combined liquidity providing and automatic $CRV yield farming.

To show our gratitude to our community and to kick things off, all fees associated with using DeFi protocols on L2 are covered in the next 60 days! To learn more about how Celer Network is accelerating the mass adoption of DeFi via layer2.finance.
