Celo Eclair Testnet, 1stPublic Network to Use SP1 + EigenDA - Marek Olszewski
Thu, Oct 2, 2025, 12:00 AM
Marek Olszewski presents the launch of the Celo Eclair Testnet, the first public network to combine SP1 (Succinct Prover 1) and EigenDA (specifically EigenDA v2) for data availability. Celo, having transitioned from an L1 to an OP Stack-based L2, leverages optimistic rollup architecture with ZK (zero-knowledge) fault proofs, enabling low transaction fees and rapid finality. The Eclair testnet showcases real-time proving, synchronous composability, and Celo-specific features like stablecoin gas payments and ERC20/native token duality. The integration of SP1 allows for fast, efficient ZK proofs, while EigenDA v2 improves data throughput and validation speed. Marek demonstrates a live challenge-response proving process, highlighting the network’s security and speed. Eclair paves the way for future upgrades, including full ZKVM validation and higher throughput, and will undergo audits and further testing before mainnet release. 00:00 Introduction 00:40 Zelda-Themed Presentation & Milestone Announcement 01:07 Launch of Celo Eclair Testnet 01:32 Celo’s Transition to L2 and OP Stack 02:30 ZK vs Optimistic Rollup Decision 03:42 Advances in ZK Proving Systems 04:42 Real-Time Proving & Synchronous Composability 06:22 Preparing for a ZK Future 06:42 Eclair Testnet Overview 07:41 Unique Features of Eclair 08:13 OP Succinct Light and EigenDA v2 Integration 08:46 Live Demo: Challenge-Response Process 10:27 Technical Details: ZK Usage and Cost Efficiency 12:27 EigenDA v2 Improvements 13:41 Hokulea and Rust Integration 14:10 Celo Extensions and Client Porting 14:57 Demo Results & Security Validation 16:42 Block Diagram Explanation 19:24 Challenge Response and Proof Verification 20:12 Conclusion & Next Steps 20:51 End _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 🇫🇷 *Pragma Cannes* Pragma Cannes 2025 was held on July 3rd at the Carlton Cannes in Cannes, France and was an in-person summit for builders and leaders in the web3 ecosystem.
