Over time, however, the platform evolved into an EVM-compatible layer one network. The announcement of choosing OP Stack coincided with the blockchain&#8217;s fourth anniversary.<\/p>\n<p>According to the announcement, following a \u201cunanimous\u201d community decision to transform the protocol into a second-layer network, the project team tested several stacks, including Polygon CDK, Arbitrum Orbit, and ZK Stack.<\/p>\n<p>The developers also implemented the Gingerbread hard fork in preparation for the transition.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cMuch was considered: development time, alignment with Ethereum, and so on. Developing on OP Stack provides a clear path for deploying a second layer without compromising the needs of the Celo community,\u201d the publication states.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The company emphasized that OP Stack supports the protocol&#8217;s core features:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>single-block finality;<\/li>\n<li>low fees;<\/li>\n<li>using ERC-20 tokens as gas fees;<\/li>\n<li>sending funds via phone number or email through the SocialConnect protocol;<\/li>\n<li>continuation of the Ultragreen Money eco-campaign.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The migration will also bring several technological improvements. Block creation time will decrease from five to two seconds, and throughput will increase by 50%. Celo will also enhance security by merging with Ethereum.<\/p>\n<p>After discussions on the transition details on May 2, cLabs will present the proposal to adopt OP Stack for a community vote. The launch of the CEL2 testnet is tentatively planned for the summer.<\/p>\n<p>In November 2023, Celo co-founder Marek Olszewski spoke about preparations to return to Ethereum. He noted that the increased performance of the second-largest blockchain by market capitalization is achieved through rollups, which he sees as an excellent opportunity for \u201creturning home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In April 2023, Google Cloud and Celo agreed to collaborate to support blockchain infrastructure improvements and the development of decentralized applications.<\/p>\n<p>In July 2022, developers deployed Uniswap v3 smart contracts on the network. The initiative aims to create liquidity pools for Celo&#8217;s \u201cgreen assets,\u201d such as tokenized carbon credits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>cLabs, the primary developer of the Celo L1 blockchain, has selected Optimism&#8217;s OP Stack for its migration to Ethereum&#8217;s second layer. \u2728A very special 4th anniversary of Celo mainnet&#8217;s launch! cLabs Proposes Migrating Celo to an Ethereum L2 leveraging the OP Stack.
