2. Celo’s governance proposal for migrating to Ethereum L2 architecture initiates community voting
On July 25th, Celo’s governance proposal to migrate Celo to Ethereum L2 architecture has initiated community voting (Temperature Check). This governance proposal is a vote from the community to support Celo’s transition from an independent EVM-compatible Layer1 blockchain to Ethereum Layer2, and not a vote on the architecture or design for achieving Layer2 goals. In mid-July, the Celo development team, cLabs, initiated a new proposal to propose the migration of Celo from an independent EVM-compatible Layer1 blockchain to Ethereum Layer2, utilizing OP Stack as the architecture for Ethereum L2. This will be a technical upgrade with key features including a decentralized sequencer driven by existing Celo validators using Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus mechanism; an off-chain data availability layer supported by EigenLayer and EigenDA, operated by Ethereum node operators and protected by re-collateralizing ETH, enabling Celo to maintain low fees; and retaining Celo’s design that only requires 1 block confirmation.

The core of this proposal is to make TRON compatible with Ethereum EIP-3855. TRON has added a new virtual machine instruction called PUSH0 to reduce the gas cost of smart contract transactions.
As part of the Shanghai upgrade on Ethereum, EIP-3855 was activated on its mainnet on April 12th. If this proposal is approved, it will ensure the compatibility of TRON and Ethereum at the virtual machine level and also reduce the cost of using TRON smart contracts in the future.

In the latest version, TRON introduced multiple governance proposals and key updates.
