The competition over who will build the layer-2 blockchain of the Celo network continues to heat up.
Nina Rong, Arbitrum Foundation's head of ecosystem development, presented a proposal to the Celo community on Tuesday, suggesting that Celo choose the Orbit technology stack, which develops customizable layer-2 and layer-3 chains based on Arbitrum's optimistic technology.
In July, Celo was planning to upgrade its layer-2 network with Optimism's OP Stack, a similar stack also based on "optimistic" technology. But then the competition was joined by zero-knowledge technology stacks from Polygon and Matter Labs.
The team explained that they are giving community members time to evaluate which is the best stack, so the evaluation process could take until mid-January.
"The Arbitrum Foundation and Celo's mission to build a financial system for everyone is highly aligned," Rong said in his proposal.
Celo Labs, the main developer behind the network, posted an announcement on its discussion-forum page this week saying that the team has "started working on technical evaluations."
"We focus on learning and exploring first. We need time to understand each stack and how they are formed, and to prepare ourselves for these technologies and ongoing developments."
