On Wednesday, the Celo Foundation announced via X that the Celo Eclair testnet is now live. Eclair is an efficient, secure & modular testnet. The testnet has some exciting features, including: Continued Celo-native functionality (like token duality & fee abstraction), OP Succinct Lite: ZK-powered fault proofs, and EigenDA v2: low-cost, high-throughput data availability.
Eclair is powered by EigenDA v2 (Blazar), bringing:
-
Near real-time confirmation
-
Higher throughput
-
Horizontal scalability across DA nodes
-
Better latency & routing
