🎉 BNB Chain Zero-Fee Carnival Extended Through April

Celer Network has released a working demo of **AgentPay**, enabling AI agents to autonomously purchase data through micropayments on Base. **Key features:** - AI agents can buy Polymarket data per request using state channels - One open channel handles thousands of paid calls - Open source buyer bundle available for Claude or Codex projects - Demo shows 2,500 snapshots across 5 paid calls using USDC **How it works:** Developers can install the bundle in their AI agent project, fund a key with USDC on Base, and the agent executes the same payment flow autonomously. **Resources:** - Blog post: [AgentPay in Action](https://blog.celer.network/2026/05/27/agentpay-in-action-thousands-of-paid-calls-one-open-channel/) - GitHub bundle: [x402-polymarket-agentpay-buyer](http://github.com/celer-network/x402-polymarket-agentpay-buyer) - Documentation: [agentpay-docs.celer.network](http://agentpay-docs.celer.network) The system moves from theoretical architecture to practical implementation, demonstrating how AI agents can handle micropayments efficiently without opening multiple channels.

Celer has launched **Celer Intent**, a new approach to cross-chain liquidity that moves capital based on actual demand rather than keeping it locked in idle pools. **Key features:** - Responsive liquidity that activates when needed - Capital-efficient design reducing wasted resources - Omnichain functionality across multiple blockchains The solution addresses a common inefficiency in current cross-chain systems, where liquidity sits unused in pools waiting for trades that may not materialize. Celer Intent aims to optimize capital deployment by directing it where activity occurs. Developers can integrate this through Celer's Inter-chain Message SDK, while users benefit from simplified cross-chain interactions.

Current cross-chain bridge infrastructure relies on pre-deployed liquidity pools, creating systemic inefficiencies that limit scalability. **Key challenges:** - Capital becomes fragmented across multiple chains - Shallow liquidity depth in individual pools - Large transactions cause significant price slippage - MEV bots exploit predictable trading patterns While the existing AMM-based bridge model functions, it struggles to handle growing cross-chain transaction volumes efficiently. The architecture concentrates billions in locked assets, creating security vulnerabilities where attackers target bridges rather than underlying blockchains.

Celer has launched **Celer Intent**, an intent-based omnichain liquidity protocol that addresses key pain points in cross-chain value transfers. **How it works:** - Users submit swap or transfer requests - Request-for-quote (RFQ) broadcast to institutional market makers - Best quote is cryptographically signed and locked - Atomic settlement across chains via Celer IM **Key benefits:** - **Zero slippage** - pricing locked before execution - **MEV protection** - off-chain quote locking prevents sandwich attacks - **Capital efficiency** - liquidity deployed only when needed - **Simplified UX** - one-click experience without juggling DEXes or bridges The protocol is now live in production beta, integrated with Celer's cBridge. SDKs and APIs are available for market makers and dApps at [intent-docs.celer.network](http://intent-docs.celer.network). Unlike traditional bridge and AMM combinations that suffer from high slippage, idle capital, and MEV vulnerabilities, Celer Intent uses just-in-time liquidity matching to deliver atomic cross-chain execution without trade-offs.
