Celer Network hinta

Celer Network is a Layer 2 solution that provides fast, secure, affordable blockchain applications on blockchains like Ethereum and Polkadot. CELR is the name and ticker symbol for the native token of the project.

The project's core architecture relies on three elements:

• cOS: The main development framework.
• cRoute: A fully decentralized routing system of multiple chains and layers that enable higher operations capacity.
• cChannel: The bottom layer of the network that enables smooth transactions within the ecosystem.

As a true Layer 2 platform, Celer's security relies on the Layer 1 blockchain. One of the critical features of the Celer ecosystem is Layer2.finance, which tackles decentralized finance's (DeFi) most significant challenges of providing its users with both easy accessibility and significantly lower transaction fees.

There is also a multi-chain cross-layer asset bridge called the cBridge, which allows instant, trustless, Any-to-Any value transfers within and across Ethereum's Layer 2 chains at a low cost. Celer's open-source platform, with a complete set of SDKs and low rent, allows developers to build fast and experiment with projects.

Three tightly coupled components build the so-called "cEconomy" and are as follows:

• State Guardian Network (SGN): Users can stake CELR in the State Guardian Network to perform certain governance operations.
• Proof of Liquidity Commitment (PoLC): CELR can be used to maintain the liquidity pool in proof of liquidity commitment, a virtual mining process.
• Liquidity Backing Auction (LiBA): Off-chain service providers can raise liquidity through crowdlending.

CELR tokens can also be used to pay service and transaction fees for off-chain services. On July 7, 2019, Celer Network launched its alpha-mainnet, Cygnus, the first Generalized State Channel Network.

The platform combines State Channel and Layer-2 Rollup to enable various applications like DeFi (layer2.finance), micropayment, and gaming. Besides the alpha-mainnet, Celer has already successfully launched two testnets: Centauri with cWallet in October 2018 and Sirius with CelerX in February 2019.

CELR price and tokenomics

CELR has a maximum supply of 10 billion tokens. CELR’s circulating supply is distributed as follows:

• 11.5 percent was allocated toward seed sales.
• 15.5 percent went toward private sales.
• 6 percent of CELR was for the launchpad sale.
• 18.3 percent was allocated to the team.
• 1.7 percent was reserved for advisors.
• 17 percent for the foundation.
• 5 percent for marketing and ecosystem.
• 25 percent was set aside for mining rewards.

The CELR economy model is a system of staking that provides security, liquidity, and smooth connectivity for the platform. The CELR price naturally depends on how the platform performs and how much CELR is staked. Its partnerships also influence the CELR charts.

About the founders

Celer Network was founded in 2018 by a team of highly skilled engineers, each with a Ph.D. in Computer Science from renowned institutions such as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

Celer network's team includes Mo Dong, Junda Liu, Xiaozhou Li, and Qingkai Liang. Mo Dong completed his Ph.D. in computer science and worked in technical roles in different companies before founding Celer Network and CelerX.

Liang, the other co-founder of CelerX, had completed his Ph.D. in machine learning and computer networks. Liu has a Ph.D. in computer networks and has worked in engineering roles at Google for over six years.

Celer has formed partnerships with well-known names, such as Polkadot, StarkWare, and Automata, and strategic partnerships with Pantera, DHVC, Stable, BlockVC, Matrix, Fenbushi Capital, and more.
