Celer Network

Celer Network receives a C+ risk grade (40/100) from Hindenrank, where lower scores indicate lower risk. Moderate risk — connects 50+ chains but all security depends on a single validator set whose economic incentives may not hold under stress A bridge that moves your tokens between 50+ blockchains by routing messages through a network of validators. It holds about $130M in its liquidity pools. Its C+ grade reflects the risk that if two-thirds of its validators are compromised or bribed, every dollar in the bridge can be stolen.

The key risks identified for Celer Network are: (1) If the value of staked CELR tokens is less than the $130M in the bridge, validators could profit more by stealing funds than by honestly running the network (2) All cross-chain messages pass through the same validator set. If two-thirds are compromised, an attacker can forge fake transfer approvals and drain every pool on every chain (3) The safety backup system (watchtowers) is optional and apps must run their own. If a watchtower fails, malicious messages execute without anyone catching them
