Shifted quantum groups emerged from the study of quantized Coulomb branches (which are symplectic duals to quiver varieties). We show that the Grothendieck ring of the category O for the shifted quantum affine algebras has the structure of a cluster algebra (jt work with Geiss and Leclerc). This has several applications, such as geometric character formulas for simple classes corresponding to cluster variables.
