Canto Blockchain Unveils Cyclone Stack and Reverses Decision to Become Ethereum Layer-2 Network

According to CoinDesk, Canto, a Cosmos-based layer-1 blockchain designed for decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, has unveiled its Cyclone Stack, aimed at scaling and improving performance. The company has also reversed its previously announced plan to shift to an Ethereum layer-2 network. In September, Canto announced that it would become an Ethereum layer-2 network using Polygon’s Chain Development Kit (CDK). However, the team clarified on Friday that it will continue to function as a Cosmos-based layer-1 network and run Polygon's type-1 prover, plugging into their aggregation layer (AggLayer) designed to unify blockchain liquidity. A representative for Canto told CoinDesk that the decision to remain a layer-1 network was made amongst all major contributors of the project, and it will tap into Polygon's AggLayer after completing some other upgrades. Canto is now pushing ahead with its new Cyclone Stack update, which consists of three key upgrades called the Callisto Upgrade, the Kallichore Upgrade, and the Elara Upgrade. The upgrade is designed to speed up block times, increase storage access speeds, and set new standards for execution. Canto's Cyclone stack will also be fully compatible with all Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) tooling and applications, enhancing its platform for both developers and users alike.
