May the Fork Be With You Why Celo is the ETH L2 You're Looking For

on YouTube ↗21m

" summary

Celo completes a live migration from an EVM L1 to an OP Stack and EigenDA-based L2, executing a risky “hard hard fork” that requires client swaps at a block and removes 365,000 lines of code. Network now offers 1 second block times, sub‑$0.001 typical ERC‑20 fees, handled 21 million tx in a day without raising gas, moves native CELO onto Ethereum, cuts inflation to 1%, hosts native USDT, 8M tracked wallet users (Opera Mini Pay, Valora), CXAI partnerships, Self Protocol ZK passport proofs, and $20k+ in hackathon bounties.
