Cere Network’s decentralized data technology ensures every transaction on the blockchain, no matter the volume and frequency, is secure. Businesses, traders, and developers can participate in an evolving ecosystem supported by an efficient network.

The Cere Mainnet is a decentralized platform where the large majority of Validators and Nominators are community members. This collaboration creates a sustainable network that will always remain relevant and responsive to participants of the mainnet.

  1. If you want to bridge from Polygon to Cere Mainnet to save trx fees, then move your CERE tokens from Ethereum to Polygon first using the Polygon Bridge (PoS only) and the CERE token address (0x2dA719DB753dFA10a62E140f436E1d67F2ddB0d6). 💡 For better stability of your Polygon Network, copy and use this “NEW RPC URL” in your Metamask wallet under Network Settings

    🔗 NEW RPC URL: https://polygon-mainnet.infura.io/v3/295cce92179b4be498665b1b16dfee34 ⚠️ zkEVM is not yet supported at this time

  2. Open Cere Bridge

  3. Open MetaMask and choose your network (Ethereum or Polygon supported)

  4. Connect your MetaMask wallet

  5. In “Destination Network,” select “Cere Mainnet”

  6. Enter the number of tokens you wish to send

  7. Enter your Polkadot.js wallet address (use your stash account)

  8. Press “Start transfer”

  9. Check pre-flight’s section 1 and 2. If everything is ok, press “Start transfer” (3)

  10. Allow in MetaMask to use CERE tokens by Bridge Smart Contract (if you see the “Transfer aborted” message at this step, please retry it with a higher gas price in MetaMask, explained further here)

  11. Confirm deposit to the Bridge Smart Contract (The “Transfer aborted” message may also occur at this step, in which case, please retry it with a higher gas price in MetaMask, explained further here)

  12. Wait until the transaction is confirmed. It can take up to few minutes

  13. Congratulations! 🎉

    You’ve successfully completed the CERE tokens transfer!

Users can earn Staking rewards on their token purchase into the $CERE token by participating in the network as a Nominator!

How to Stake and become a Cere Mainnet Nominator?

Nominators Stake CERE tokens on one or multiple Validators, electing them to run nodes as part of the blockchain infrastructure. In return, Nominators receive a reward percentage from each Validator they elect. One account can be used to Nominate up to a total of 16 Validators.

Mutual Staking between Nominators and their elected Validators is balanced and maintained in the background using the Phragmén method, an automated system that calculates elections based on the amount of tokens Staked. Once Validators are elected, Nominators are then able to regularly check the reward percentage they receive for a given Validator (and claim them!).
