📢 Important Community Update Regarding Referenda #14 📢
We're pleased to see the community actively engaging in governance through the recent token reimbursement proposal (Referenda #14). In light of this being a community-driven proposal supported by several validators, we at Cere have decided to step back and let the community guide this decision.

While we deeply value community-led governance, we want to be transparent that this type of reimbursement should be viewed as an exceptional case. If similar requests become frequent, we'll need to participate more actively in these discussions to maintain network integrity.

ℹ️ Important note about voting:
- Your tokens will be locked when you cast your vote for the duration of the referenda
- If the proposal maintains over >80% support by Friday 17th (17/01/25), the team can help accelerate the approval process to minimize the token lock period for our voters

🗳 Community members can review and vote on the proposal here: https://cere.polkassembly.io/referenda/14

We encourage all token holders to review the proposal and participate in this important community decision.

Thank you for your continued engagement in making Cere Network stronger together! 🤝

📢 Cere Network x Hyperbridge Integration Update
🎯 Tomorrow evening Cere Network will be integrated with Hyperbridge's Testnet and will be ready for community testing!

🌉 This important milestone brings us one step closer to our mainnet integration. With this testnet release, you'll be able to experience and test the new bridge functionality firsthand. The integration process took a bit longer than initially anticipated, moving mainnet launch back.

⏳ Timeline Update:
- Tomorrow evening: Testnet bridge goes live
- Rest of the week: public testing
- Next week: switch to mainnet (pending successful testnet validation & smooth deployment on mainnet)

🔍 We encourage all community members to participate in testing the bridge on testnet. Your feedback will be invaluable in ensuring a smooth mainnet deployment.

⚡️ Need to bridge urgently?
If you need to bridge your funds out of mainnet onto Ethereum urgently, then we can assist you with a manual bridge request (pls submit before Sunday 19/01). You can submit your transfer request here: https://forms.gle/UihUeuvVLjGPy2SK6

🤝 Join us in testing tomorrow! Your participation helps strengthen the Cere Network ecosystem.

Stay tuned for more updates!

📢 Cere Network x Hyperbridge Integration Update 📢
We're excited to share that Cere Network has been successfully integrated into Hyperbridge's testnet! 🎯

While we're a day later than initially announced, we wanted to ensure everything was properly tested and secure. The integration is complete and functional and you can verify our first successful bridge transaction here: https://testnet.bscscan.com/token/0xf310641b4b6c032d0c88d72d712c020fca9805a3

Note: we chose BNB Chain to test as our first destination chain because of its fast finality.

📝 Current Status:
- Testnet Integration successfully completed
- First test transaction confirmed

ℹ️Sadly the Hyperbridge Testnet UI doesn’t support custom networks, so testing has to be done using the explorer.

🔜 Coming Tomorrow:
We'll be sharing a comprehensive video tutorial made by the Hyperbridge team showing exactly how to perform your own test transactions using the Explorer. This will make it easy for everyone to participate in testing.

We appreciate your patience and look forward to sharing the tutorial tomorrow. Your participation in testing will be crucial in order to move forward with the mainnet integration!

📢 Cere Network x Hyperbridge Testing Guide 📢
👥 Ready to help test our integration? Yu can now try out token transfers on Hyperbridge using the explorer!

🔍 How to Get Started:
Check out our comprehensive testing guide here: notion

🎯 What to Test:
- Transfer $CERE from Cere Main to BNB Tesnet
- Transfer $CERE from BNB Tesnet to Cere Main

@Protocol920 already successfully did a transaction!

💪 Every test helps strengthen our integration before the mainnet launch. Your participation is invaluable!

1️⃣ Tip 1: don’t send it to the null address, but use your own EVM/BNB wallet . Or if you don’t have one, you can use this one: 0x4450A1B38fa2d1cfB82629105EAEb5286579d4d0
2️⃣ Tip 2: the value you enter is in u128, so you need to add some extra zeros. Eg. 10 $CERE should be written as 1000000000
3️⃣ Tip 3: you can see your results here: https://testnet.bscscan.com/token/0xf310641b4b6c032d0c88d72d712c020fca9805a3
