Introduction
As blockchain ecosystems become increasingly fragmented across multiple Layer 1s and Layer 2s, the need for secure, fast, and low-cost asset transfers between chains is more important than ever. cBridge, developed by Celer Network, is one of the most efficient and widely adopted solutions for this purpose.
In this guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about cBridge 2.0, how it works, what makes it different, and why it has become a core tool for cross-chain DeFi strategies.
What Is cBridge?
cBridge is a non-custodial, decentralized cross-chain bridge that allows users to transfer tokens and liquidity between over 40 blockchains and rollups, including Ethereum, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Avalanche, zkSync, and many more.
Unlike traditional bridges that are often slow or require trusting third parties, cBridge uses a validator network (State Guardian Network - SGN) to securely and efficiently route assets across chains in real time.
cBridge is part of the broader Celer Network stack and plays a crucial role in enabling seamless Web3 experiences across chains.

How Does cBridge Work?
-
User initiates a transfer via cBridge
-
Validators in SGN verify the transaction
-
Assets are locked on the source chain and released on the destination chain
-
Final confirmation appears in the user’s wallet within minutes
What Is cBridge Capital?
cBridge capital refers to the liquidity infrastructure that powers cBridge. Liquidity providers deposit funds into multi-chain pools and earn rewards based on swap volume and transaction fees.
This decentralized capital base enables real-time liquidity routing and powers one of the most efficient bridges in Web3.
