As the crypto world becomes increasingly multichain, users are no longer limited to just Ethereum or BNB Chain. In 2025, DeFi activity spans across Arbitrum, zkSync, Base, Optimism, Scroll, Linea, and more. But here’s the problem:
Moving assets across blockchains is still a pain point for most users.
That’s why cBridge is gaining massive adoption. Built by Celer Network, cBridge is one of the fastest, cheapest, and most secure cross-chain bridges — trusted by thousands of DeFi users every day.
