We are excited to announce the launch of CELO and cUSD pools on NEAR Protocol!

Following our integration with NEAR Protocol, we are expanding access to the Celo and NEAR ecosystems.

$2M worth of CELO will be allocated towards the pools by the Celo Foundation, matched by $2M worth of REF from the Ref Finance team. Allbridge will also participate in the provision of the incentives.

Incentivization for CELO-wNEAR and cUSD-USDC will begin on February 25, with the CELO-REF pool incentives coming soon after.

Visit Allbridge to experience the NEAR ecosystem and enjoy the convenience of cross-chain transfers!
