Etherlink Unveils Calypso Upgrade to Speed Up Tezos L2

Etherlink has successfully rolled out the Calypso upgrade, which will revolutionize development on Tezos L 2. This major upgrade will improve dApp performance, streamline operations, and enable faster XTZ withdrawals between Etherlink and Tezos.

Calypso significantly improves the efficiency of dApps that process high-volume transactions. Optimized storage improves network resiliency. Increased stability ensures smooth operation even during traffic surges. Node operators can now participate more effectively in protocol decisions. With these improvements, Etherlink offers a more stable and efficient environment for developers building decentralized applications.

A key highlight of the upgrade is the introduction of a new withdrawal entry point, making XTZ transfers between Etherlink and Tezos faster than ever. Additionally, the virtual machine now uses caching for improved read/write operations, speeding up smart contract execution. This is a game changer for dApps that require high-frequency RPC calls, including DEXs and omnichain platforms.
