Celo to Activate Jello Hardfork With OP Succinct Lite on December 10
Celo has announced that the Jello Hardfork, which brings OP Succinct Lite to the Celo mainnet, will go live on December 10. The upgrade introduces ZK-powered fault-proof infrastructure, making Celo the first network to deploy this technology at scale. Users and developers will continue to benefit from Celo’s gas-paying flexibility with ERC-20 tokens, while the hardfork strengthens security, throughput and decentralization.
What is a hardfork?
The cryptocurrency mainnet operates according to certain rules. To improve network performance or correct errors, changes are periodically introduced into it. A hard fork represents changes that are not compatible with previous versions of software supporting the cryptocurrency network. In order to continue to mine the cryptocurrency, miners need to update the software.
In some cases, as a result of a hard fork, a completely new cryptocurrency may appear, as happened with Bitcoin Cash and EthereumPoW.
