Abstract: We study algebraic vector bundles on cluster varieties. Over a perfect field of characteristic different from two, every algebraic vector bundle is trivial on a cluster variety with principal coefficients at an acyclic seed of irreducible finite Dynkin type. The proof is based on integral contractions of cellular $\mathbb A^1$-chain complexes and successive freezing. We also construct smooth cluster varieties admitting indecomposable rank-two vector bundles, whose nontriviality is detected by quadratic Euler classes. The cellular calculation also gives a criterion for stable freeness and computes integral real cohomology and the images of cycle class maps.
