Celer Network (CELR), a blockchain protocol for interoperability, witnessed a strong bull rally in mid-August. On 15 August, its price hit a 90-day high of $0.02779. 

At the time of writing (24 August), the CELR token was trading at $0.01954 – 90% lower than its all-time high of $0.1987 hit on 26 September 2021, according to CoinMarketCap.

However, despite the prevailing bearishness in the cryptocurrency market, the CELR token has been in an uptrend over the last couple of weeks.

As of 24 August, 17,234 addresses were holding CELR tokens. However, the top 100 holders controlled 96.56% of the entire supply, making the token sensitive to price fluctuations.

Can the CELR token make a significant recovery amid the gloomy crypto market, or will it drop in value? Here we take a look at the token’s price analysis and the latest celer network price prediction.

Celer Network (CELR) price prediction

What is Celer Network?

Celer Network is a trustless and privacy-preserving interoperable blockchain protocol that allows users to instantly design, run, and deploy massively scalable decentralised apps (dApps).

Celer Network is built on layered architecture that enables the quick growth of each component. In essence, the architecture simplifies system design, development and maintenance so that each individual component can easily evolve and adapt to changes. Compared to other projects in the decentralised finance (DeFi) ecosystem, Celer Network has an off-chain infrastructure.

“Off-chain scaling techniques allow mutually distrustful parties to execute a contract locally among themselves instead of on the global blockchain,” according to Celer’s whitepaper. 

“Off-chain scaling is the only way to support fully scale-out decentralised applications (”dApps”) with better privacy and no compromise on the trust and decentralisation guarantees. It is the inflection point for blockchain mass adoption, and will be the engine behind all scalable dApps,” it added.

In July 2021, the project officially launched the mainnet version of cBridge (a multi-channel network that allows users to swap assets across several blockchains with ease). 

Celer's cBridge allows seamless token transfers. Users are now able to use cBridge to instantly transfer tokens across Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon and Binance Smart Chain

Besides interoperability, the mainnet version, Celer cBridge v1.0, significantly advances the speed and scalability of the interaction between Ethereum's layers 1 and 2.

What is the CELR token?

CELR is a non-refundable functional utility token. It’s used to pay transaction and protection fees to service providers. The token, designed to be used solely by the network, provides on-chain data availability with a novel insurance model. This means that CELR is used as a stake in the State Guardian Network (SGN). 

The State Guardian Network is a special compact side chain to guard on-chain states when users are online. CELR token holders can stake their CELR into SGN and become state guardians.

According to the company’s whitepaper, before users go online, they can submit their state to SGN with a certain fee and ask the guardians to guard the state for a certain period. Based on a responsibility score, several guardians are then selected at random to be responsible for this state.

Celer Network’s native digital cryptographically secure protocol token also works by incentivising the maintenance of a stable and abundant liquidity pool in the virtual mining process via Proof of Liquidity (PoLC). 

The token is used to maximise liquidity interest payouts in the Liquidity Backing Auction (LiBA). LiBA offers off-chain service providers an opportunity to request liquidity, and lenders can stake their tokens to be given as loans. Off-chain operating networks gain scalability by first trading off-network liquidity. 

It has a circulating supply of 6.84 billion CELR and a total supply of 10 billion, according to CoinMarketCap.

CELR/USD price analysis

According to ICODrops, CELR’s initial coin offering (ICO) concluded in March 2019 at a token price of $0.0067. Since then, it has returned a negative ROI of -35%, according to CoinMarketCap, as of 24 August.

According to the CELR historical price chart, there were no significant price swings until 2021. At the start of 2021, the price action turned bullish. It surged from $0.0048 on 1 January to $0.0926 on 30 March. However, amid the meltdown in the global cryptocurrency market, the CELR token declined to $0.0267 on 23 May, having lost 71% of its value.

After a bearish summer in 2021, the Celer Network cryptocurrency rebounded and reached its all-time high of $0.1987 on 26 September. The retracement sent the price to $0.06 on 14 December. It closed the year at $0.0732.

CELR had a bullish start to 2022, reaching $0.09758 on 15 January. Between January and February, the token’s price action turned bearish, declining to $0.03659 on 21 February. The downtrend continued, and the price reached a 52-week low of $0.0111 on 12 May.

Celer Network (CELR) all-time performance

Celer Network news and price drivers

The project has undergone a number of significant milestones and developments lately, which could drive the celer (CELR) future target price.

Launch of Celer’s IM Scan

Celer Network released IM Scan in August 2022, a tool that can scan on-chain data for any protocols or applications established or connected with the Celer Inter-chain Messaging (Celer IM) architecture.

Users can employ Celer IM Scan to query any cross-chain transfer that employs Celer IM by searching on the query portal using the "Address" or "Transaction Hash".

Celer IM Scan also includes a real-time ecological data graph for the Celer IM ecosystem, which provides for total transaction counts, the total number of transactions in the last 24 hours, daily transaction counts over the previous 31 days, and a list of the different chains supported by Celer IM and their corresponding transaction counts.

Partnership with MUX Protocol

Celer Network partnered with decentralised leveraged trading protocol MUX Protocol in August 2022 to roll out MUX's multi-chain, native future trading decentralised exchange (DEX) enabled by Celer technology.

With the inclusion of Celer's cross-chain bridging functionality for their muxTokens (muxETH and muxUSD), MUXLP can be staked on or withdrawn from any supported chain, including BNB Chain, Avalanche and Fantom. This considerably improves the interoperability, user experience and the protocol's overall liquidity efficiency.

Partnership with Nervos and Klaytn for cross chain asset transfers

Celer Network secured two critical partnerships in July and August 2022 with Nervos, a public blockchain ecosystem, and Klaytn, a public blockchain centred on metaverse and GameFi ideas.

Users can now bridge USDT, USDC, ETH, WBTC and DAI between Ethereum and Nervos and Ethereum and Klaytn quickly, safely and cheaply.

Partnership with PlatON

Celer Network and next-gen internet infrastructure protocol PlatON partnered in April 2022 to facilitate cross-chain transfers between the two protocols. Consequently, users can transfer WETH, WBTC, USDC, USDT, DAI, GRT, and LINK between Ethereum (ETH) and PlatON.

Partnership with Flow

In April 2022, Celer Network also partnered with Flow (FLOW), a developer-friendly blockchain designed as the foundation for a new generation of games, apps and the digital assets that power them. The partnership will enable bridging of both digital assets and non-fungible tokens (NFT) to all 27 chains connected to Celer cBridge.

Dr. Mo Dong, Celer’s Co-Founder, said: “As the broader ecosystem becomes increasingly decentralised and multi-chain, we are seeing plentiful opportunities for projects, developers, and creators to flourish by taking advantage of unique offerings on different chains.”

Celer will enable NFT bridging after the first phase of the agreement in order to broaden the reach of self-custodial Flow-issued NFTs such as Legendary NBA Top Shot, NFL and UFC.

Users can also import additional NFTs from outside the Flow ecosystem using Celer's cBridge.

Partnership with SynFutures

Earlier in March 2022, Celer Network partnered with SynFutures derivatives exchange to support multi-blockchain future trading so that users can list and trade futures on any Celer Network partner chains.

The difference between trading assets and CFDs
The main difference between CFD trading and trading assets, such as commodities and stocks, is that you don’t own the underlying asset when you trade on a CFD.
You can still benefit if the market moves in your favour, or make a loss if it moves against you. However, with traditional trading you enter a contract to exchange the legal ownership of the individual shares or the commodities for money, and you own this until you sell it again.
CFDs are leveraged products, which means that you only need to deposit a percentage of the full value of the CFD trade in order to open a position. But with traditional trading, you buy the assets for the full amount. In the UK, there is no stamp duty on CFD trading, but there is when you buy stocks, for example.
CFDs attract overnight costs to hold the trades (unless you use 1-1 leverage), which makes them more suited to short-term trading opportunities. Stocks and commodities are more normally bought and held for longer. You might also pay a broker commission or fees when buying and selling assets direct and you’d need somewhere to store them safely.
