According to Odaily Planet Daily, Ethereum L2 project Taiko announced that the Hekla testnet is now open to the public, supports EIP-4844 functions, and the mainnet is about to be launched. New features include: no longer needing archive L1 nodes; enabling EIP-4844 DA blocks; adjusting L2 block gas issuance and upper limit; fine-tuning EIP1559 configuration; improving daemon proof infrastructure; supporting two-step claiming of L2 to L1 bridge tokens. In addition, Hekla uses the same competition-based Rollup (BCR) mechanism as Katla. Taiko will be launched on the mainnet using the BCR architecture. Katla will be deprecated on May 10.
