CELO CHOOSES OPTIMISM, CONCLUDING BAKE-OFF AMONG LAYER 2S

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

After months of consideration, Celo has chosen Optimism as the tech stack for building an Ethereum L2. This decision comes after Celo pivoted from an independent blockchain to becoming an L2, citing Ethereum alignment and greater liquidity. Other candidates included Arbitrum Orbit, zkSync's ZK Stack, and Polygon's CDK.
