Celo Developer Proposes Framework for Layer-2 Decision
Celo’s developer, cLabs, has put forward a comprehensive plan to guide the selection of a Layer-2 technology provider. The plan aims to integrate Celo with Ethereum’s network and the final decision is expected to be made in January 2024.
Community Involvement in the Decision
cLabs has published a “framework for selecting an L2 stack” on their discussion forum, seeking feedback from users. The framework outlines key criteria for selecting a Layer-2 technology provider and emphasizes community involvement in the decision-making process. The goal is to incorporate the consensus of the entire community in the final framework.
Key Features of Celo’s Proposed Framework
The framework highlights important criteria such as Ethereum compatibility, increased security, simple migration with minimal downtime, and governance alignment with Ethereum. It aims to address the priorities and concerns of Celo stakeholders and invites input and suggestions from the community.
Evaluating L2 Stacks Against the Framework
Once a general consensus on the framework is reached by mid-December, cLabs will begin evaluating each Layer-2 stack against the established criteria. The team is open to adjusting the framework based on user suggestions.
L2 Discussion Call and Partnership Announcement
cLabs will hold an L2 discussion call on December 13th to further engage with the community regarding the framework. The recently announced framework builds upon cLabs’ original proposal published in July, which aims to transition Celo to an Ethereum Layer-2 solution. In August, Celo also announced a partnership with Google Cloud for the Ethereum L2 migration.
Hot Take: Celo Takes Community Input for Layer-2 Decision
Celo’s developer, cLabs, is actively involving the community in the decision-making process for selecting a Layer-2 technology provider. By publishing a comprehensive framework and seeking feedback, cLabs aims to ensure that the final decision aligns with the priorities and concerns of Celo stakeholders. The framework emphasizes Ethereum compatibility, increased security, and governance alignment as key criteria. With community consensus expected by mid-January, cLabs will evaluate various Layer-2 stacks against the established framework. This inclusive approach reflects Celo’s commitment to fostering a financially inclusive community and building within the spirit of Web3.
