The first hard fork being, of course, the transition to becoming NL2.

Then we had two more pretty meaty ones.

And then the third one was super meaty, where we added succinct support.

And now you can do fault proofs using ZK proofs.
Bankless
The Most Underrated Chain: Celo’s Surprising Traction Around the World | Marek Olszewski
So we have a ZK fault proof system, very similar to MegaEth.

The Most Underrated Chain: Celo’s Surprising Traction Around the World | Marek Olszewski
We also use EigenVA, similar to MegaEth.
Bankless
The Most Underrated Chain: Celo’s Surprising Traction Around the World | Marek Olszewski
But unlike MegaEth,

the were cheaper than them and were rated on l2 beat and they you know they put us at the top of the up to me and validity and tab as of last month as of december so yeah if you like something like mega youth you know you're definitely going to like solo i think even more more secure as per l2 beat uh cheaper and you know i think equally scalable

Obviously, the Tempo team got a lot of pushback when they announced the L1 direction.

Matt, I think, publicly came out and said, you know, finality is a big reason.
Bankless
The Most Underrated Chain: Celo’s Surprising Traction Around the World | Marek Olszewski
We're payments focused.
Bankless
The Most Underrated Chain: Celo’s Surprising Traction Around the World | Marek Olszewski
We need to have fast finality.
Bankless
The Most Underrated Chain: Celo’s Surprising Traction Around the World | Marek Olszewski
And, you know, there's some truth to that.
Bankless
The Most Underrated Chain: Celo’s Surprising Traction Around the World | Marek Olszewski
Celo had one block finality as an L1 and then we transitioned to becoming L2.
Bankless
The Most Underrated Chain: Celo’s Surprising Traction Around the World | Marek Olszewski
And now we have to wait for Ethereum finality, which, as you know, can take quite a bit longer.
Bankless
The Most Underrated Chain: Celo’s Surprising Traction Around the World | Marek Olszewski
And so I think you could argue the finality reason.
Bankless
The Most Underrated Chain: Celo’s Surprising Traction Around the World | Marek Olszewski
Of course, Ethereum is working to add, you know, one or two block finality.
Bankless
The Most Underrated Chain: Celo’s Surprising Traction Around the World | Marek Olszewski
It's working towards shortening its block time.
Bankless
The Most Underrated Chain: Celo’s Surprising Traction Around the World | Marek Olszewski
So that problem will go away soon.
Bankless
The Most Underrated Chain: Celo’s Surprising Traction Around the World | Marek Olszewski
And so either they didn't want to wait for that, or they didn't believe that that would happen, or, you know, they're using this as, you know, a technical reason, but really it's something else.
