The post Celo Is Now an Ethereum Layer 2 With Faster Blocks appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Celo has completed its migration to Ethereum Layer 2, bringing faster block times and native cross-chain bridging support. Celo teams up with Alchemy to give developers stronger tools and smoother infrastructure after migrating to Ethereum Layer 2. Finally, the Celo network has truly transformed. From a Layer 1 blockchain that has stood alone, it has now officially joined the Ethereum Layer 2 space. The migration process was quite complex, even causing block production on the Celo main network to be temporarily halted. But now, everything is back up and running. Celo now operates as an Ethereum Layer 2 with block times cut from five seconds to just one second. For those who are used to waiting for transaction confirmations, like waiting for a train that never comes, this is good news. 🏡 @Ethereum, we’re home! Following a successful “hard hard fork” led by core contributors at @cLabs & L1 validators, Celo is officially an Ethereum Layer 2 🪨 🪨 🍴 What does that mean for the diverse, global decentralized ecosystem?

Celo now supports direct bridging with Ethereum natively. This means that the flow of assets and data between the two networks is smoother without having to cross a complicated or expensive bridge. Imagine being able to move your wallet from one network to another, like moving your wallet from your left pocket to your right pocket. Furthermore, this migration was not done just for the sake of moving. Celo also partnered with Alchemy, a platform known for its robust infrastructure for developers. The goal is clear: to help developers build more reliable and connected applications. The collaboration is…
