Today, we are excited to announce that we are rolling out the cBridge 2.0 Testnet Upgrade! This includes a brand-new State Guardian Network (SGN) experience as well as a series of feature iterations based on our users’ valuable feedback. In addition to continuing our test of cBridge 2.0’s functionality, users can now experience the new cBridge transaction fee claiming feature and re-designed UI/UX for CELR staking by visiting test-sgn.celer.network. We’ve also set aside $20,000 that we will be sending to anyone who helps us test and try out the various functionalities of this new and exciting upgrade. More details on that below!
What is Included in the Upgrade?
The New SGN User Experience
In cBridge 2.0’s architecture, the State Guardian Network plays the crucial roles of the decentralized node gateway and the service level agreement (SLA) arbitrator in the self-managed liquidity model or the liquidity manager under the shared liquidity model. With the SGN taking on these active and essential roles, validators and stakers within the SGN capture the value of cBridge 2.0 via the transaction fees in the network itself. As these fees accumulated through serving cross chain transfer requests, a new way for users to claim these accumulated fees is needed. In this upgrade, we’ve launched a brand new web application for SGN stakers to try out the newly developed user experience for staking and block reward management as well as our cBridge transaction fee reward management systems.
Feature Iterations in cBridge 2.0
Along with the SGN’s new UI/UX, we have been able to iterate on several features based on your feedback of the cBridge 2.0 testnet. Aside from system-level improvement, users and LPs now have access to the following new features from the web app:
- Better fee estimations before transferring: we enabled the base fee estimation with a faster response time, increasing the accuracy of the fee estimation.
- Single-chain liquidity withdrawal is now possible: LPs are now able to combine their available liquidity that is across multiple chains into a single chain and then withdraw that liquidity. This significantly reduces operational overheads.
$20,000 in Rewards for Testing cBridge 2.0
As the final step before mainnet launch, we aim to put some additional stress on the system and gather a fresh round of feedback! To help sweeten the deal and incentivize everyone, we will be offering rewards based on usage and feedback received.

Progress to Mainnet
We have some additional exciting news as well! We have completed three independent audits with no security bugs found in our Celer cBridge and SGN 2.0 smart contracts. Audit reports along with open-source smart contract code will be available for the community to review shortly. We are in the process of a careful internal cross-team security review and on track for launching mainnet in November!
