OP SUCCINCT LITE IS ACTIVATED ON CELO MAINNET
Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter
Celo activated its Jello Hardfork on mainnet, becoming the first chain to implement OP Succinct Lite in production and launch a fully auditable DA bridge for EigenDA, which introduces ZK-powered non-interactive fault proofs for efficient dispute resolution. The upgrade includes a six-member challenger set, including five independent ecosystem participants monitoring sequencer behavior and enforcing security guarantees as Celo moves toward L2 Beat's Stage 2 decentralization criteria. The backward-compatible activation required no action from full nodes or developers while deploying a new Rust-based Celo-Kona EVM client constructed using Succinct's SP1 framework. The foundation enables Celo's Layer 2 roadmap to target greater throughput, improved Ethereum interoperability, and enhanced finality guarantees for its mobile-friendly, low-fee payment network.
