We’re ecstatic to announce that cBridge is expanding once again! We’ve launched cBridge support for Xterio’s XterBSC Rollup, a BSC L2 rollup supported by Altlayer. This collaboration represents a major step forward in achieving seamless interoperability across more blockchain and rollup ecosystems, thus increasing overall utility for users! With this integration, Celer is introducing seamless token bridging to the XterBSC Rollup, starting with bridging BNB. This enables users to easily transfer BNB between BNB Chain, opBNB, and the XterBSC Rollup.

Xterio is a global gaming company dedicated to revolutionizing the gaming industry through Web3 technology. It operates a Web3 Gaming developer and publisher cross-platform, focusing on creating deeply engaging experiences enhanced by digital ownership. With teams and studios worldwide, Xterio is committed to bridging the gap between free-to-play gaming and Web3 by delivering core gaming experiences that provide fun and ownership. It is powered by the Xterio Chain and the Xterio Foundation, which oversees the development and maintenance of the Xterio platform and its tokens. With a network of over 50 gaming partners and boasting five AAA games, Xterio aims to onboard millions of users into the Web3 gaming ecosystem, ultimately engaging billions of gamers worldwide!

Initially, Celer supports BNB bridging via the xLiquidity model, a pool-based method, for token transfers between BNB Chain, opBNB, and the XterBSC Rollup. Additionally, there is potential to integrate Celer’s Inter-chain Messaging Framework, a generic message-passing protocol, to seamlessly enable developers to build dApps with a cross-chain gaming user experience on the XterBSC Rollup in the future. 

This would enable dApps to create smooth cross-chain UXs between the XterBSC Rollup and various external blockchains and lay down the foundation to support NFT bridges, the ability to purchase and bid on NFTs across different chains, and cross-chain reward claiming. All of these functions synergize well with Web3 gaming and would provide players with plenty of options! Additionally, this can be offered to users as a single-click, single-transaction UX. 
We’re excited to be working with Xterio and plan to expand our interoperability efforts to support additional tokens and chains. The possibilities are endless, and we invite you to join us as Celer and Xterio help shape the future of interchain connectivity!

Following our initial support announcement for the Scroll Sepolia Testnet, Celer is excited to announce that we’ve launched cBridge and Celer IM support for Scroll Mainnet! This exciting development marks a significant milestone in our strategic partnership with Scroll and represents a major step forward in achieving seamless interoperability across more blockchain and layer-2 ecosystems! With this integration, Celer is introducing seamless token bridging and generic message passing to Scroll. Celer is initially starting off by supporting the bridging of ETH between Scroll and our other supported chains on cBridge. This enables users to transfer ETH between the various protocols with ease.
Celer is supporting asset and token bridging initially via the xLiquidity model, a liquidity pool-based method for token transfers between Scroll Mainnet and other chains. Additionally, with Celer’s Inter-chain Messaging Framework, integrated with Scroll—it enables developers to build dApps with seamless cross-chain application logic. dApps are not only able to create smooth cross-chain UXs across the various chains and layer-2’s, but can support features like NFT bridges, the ability to purchase and bid on NFTs across different chains, and cross-chain reward claiming. All of these and more are not only possible to accomplish with Celer IM, but can be offered to users as a single-click, single-transaction UX.
Stay tuned for more exciting updates as Celer continues to expand our interoperability efforts and support additional tokens and chains. The possibilities are endless, and we invite you to join us as Celer helps shape the future of interchain connectivity.
About Scroll
Scroll is a native zkEVM Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum with lower costs, faster speeds, and infinite scaling, without sacrificing security or decentralization. With bytecode-level compatibility and high composability, building on Scroll is nearly identical to building on Ethereum.

Manta Network is the multi-modular ecosystem for zero-knowledge (ZK) applications. The Manta Network’s Manta Pacific module is a unique Layer 2 ecosystem for EVM-native ZK applications, offering scalability and cost-efficiency. Manta Pacific takes all of the work that the Manta team has already built on ZK, and applies it directly into a scalable EVM environment specifically designed for deploying ZK applications through the help of Celestia and the OP Stack. It fills the current gap for EVM-native ZK applications, providing programmability, significantly lower gas fee than any other ZK layer, and scalability.

Celer is supporting asset and token bridging initially via the xAsset model, a lock-and-mint method, for token transfers between external chains and Manta Pacific. Additionally, discussions are underway to integrate Celer’s Inter-chain Messaging Framework, a generic message passing protocol, to seamlessly enable developers to build dApps with cross-chain application logics on Manta Pacific. This will enable dApps to not only create smooth cross-chain UXs between Manta Pacific and various external blockchains, but lay down the foundation to support NFT bridges, the ability to purchase and bid on NFTs across different chains, and cross-chain reward claiming. All of these and more are not only possible to accomplish with Celer IM, but can be offered to users as a single-click, single-transaction UX.
