L2 project Taiko launched final testnet
Ethereum's Layer 2 scaling solution project, Taiko, has launched the Katla (Alpha-6) testnet, which will lay the foundation for the mainnet.
“The main thing we are testing with Katla is Based Contestable Rollup (BCR), a customizable multi-evidence rollup design,” the team noted.
The developers presented the BCR concept in September 2023 at the TOKEN2049 conference in Singapore. It involves the use of a multi-evidence configuration with four levels.

Additionally, Katla code supports EIP-4844 (proto-dunksharding). This feature is currently disabled. It is assumed that the update will be performed after the corresponding hard fork in the underlying Ethereum testnet Holesky.
In Katla, the developers have improved the bridge by fixing several bugs and also adding support for NFTs.
