Celo to Migrate to Ethereum Layer-2 Using OP Stack

Celo's developer, cLabs, finalizes plans to transition to Ethereum's Layer-2 with Optimism's OP Stack after extensive evaluation.

After a comprehensive review, cLabs chooses Optimism's OP Stack for Celo's migration to Ethereum Layer-2, aiming for a testnet launch in summer 2024.
The migration decision, pending community approval, marks a strategic shift to enhance Celo’s scalability and integration within the Ethereum ecosystem.
Celo's focus on maintaining Ethereum compatibility and specific features like one-block finality is critical to the migration strategy.
