As part of this transition, Celo is currently operating two Layer 2 testnets: +Dango, which is live, and Alfajores, which will be upgraded to Layer 2 in late September 2024. -## Dango Testnet - -The Dango Testnet is the inaugural Celo Layer 2 public test network, designed for developers -building on Cel2. Its primary objectives include: -- Demonstrating a successful state migration with operational continuity. -- Establishing a robust foundation for future developments. +## Alfajores L2 Upgrade -Based on the current state of Alfajores, Dango will run concurrently with it, allowing -infrastructure providers (e.g., RPC providers, indexers, and oracles) to familiarize themselves with -the L2 codebase. Once these providers are prepared, the process of upgrading each existing Celo -testnet will commence, starting with Alfajores followed by Baklava. The final step will be upgrading -the Celo mainnet through a hardfork and governance proposal. +The Alfajores testnet is set to upgrade to Layer 2 in late September 2024. This upgrade will transition +Alfajores into the Celo Layer 2 environment, allowing developers and integrators to start building and +testing with the new infrastructure. This is a key step in Celo’s broader evolution, paving the way for +future upgrades to the Baklava testnet and the mainnet. -## Dango Features +## Dango Testnet -Dango preserves the majority of Celo's feature set, and introduces some new features, including: +The Dango Testnet, Celo’s first Layer 2 public test network, is currently live. Dango allows developers +and infrastructure providers to familiarize themselves with the Layer 2 environment. +Key features of Dango include: - Full Alfajores history and state - CELO token duality (ability to use CELO natively and as an ERC20 token)
