The long-awaited Blockchain zeal plan to become an Ethereum Layer-2 chain has been completed, finishing a process of almost two years, the main organizations behind the network said on Wednesday.
The transition ends a long journey that begins in July 2023 for the block chain of layer 1 that included a community vote in July 2024 and a fierce competition, won by optimism, among the networks of layer 2 to convince the ecosystem to build with its technology.
The improved network, like other layers 2, offers faster and faster transactions to Ethereum’s net. The blockchain works with Optimism’s Op Stack, a customizable frame that allows developers to build Layer-2 networks based on optimism technology.
“You know, every time people ask us, we always recommend the OP Stack, because the team there has been very useful and so supportive,” said Marek Olszewski, CEO of Clabs, the main developer firm that supports the zeal block chain.
A plan for other 1s layers
According to Rene Reisberg, CEO of the Celo Foundation, migration is the first of its kind in the Ethereum ecosystem, and will probably be used as a plan for other block chains compatible with EVM that seek to become a layer of layer 2.
“This way not only to make a new chain, but to maintain that story, and make everyone in the new chain, while it is much more work, it is excellent from a zeal perspective. It is becoming this type of great case study for Ethereum,” said Rene Reinsberg, president of the Celo Foundation, in an interview.
“Even only based on the dissemination that I have been receiving from other founders of L1 that are like, ‘hey, then, how do you really feel inside to go through this transition, and how much work is and how are you thinking about that?’ Therefore, it definitely seems that there is now a greater interest, “Reinsberg added.
Despite Ethereum leaders, they experienced a violent reaction from the community due to the clumsy experience of operating between the large amount of layer 2 blockchains, Etether’s real price (Eth) in relation to other cryptomer Transition and also with the time that competitors move to competitors to competitors.
“As some of these short -term storms decrease and the feeling begins to change, I think you will begin to see a series of layer 1 that will probably be more public about it,” Reisberg said. “But we are definitely seeing these first conversations.”
The new zeal home
According to the team, the end users of zeal will not notice much difference in their configurations, and can still access key features such as SocialConnect, a protocol that connects the telephone numbers of the users or the X handles X to their wallet addresses zeal to make payments. However, there are changes at the protocol level.
“Validation responsibilities have evolved from the operation of the consensus protocol to execute community RPC nodes temporarily, with validator rewards now distributed through the execution of the smart contract instead of in the blocks of the time,” the team said in a press release. “In addition, the transaction sequence, previously determined by the validators that execute the consensus protocol, will initially be handled by a centralized sequencer, with a road map for the transition to the decentralized sequencing in the future.”
