cLabs Proposal for Celo to transition to an Ethereum L2

Great idea!

there is just one problem with the OP:

Off-chain data availability layer, powered by EigenLayer and EigenDA, operated by Ethereum node operators, and protected by restaked ETH. EigenDA brings the design of danksharding to Ethereum early, enabling Celo to maintain its low fees.

EigenDA is not actually protected by restaked ETH, because that is not possible. Due to the non-attributability of data withholding, it is not possible to slash the EigenDA validators’ restaked ETH for withholding data, therefore it cannot be described as “protected by restaked ETH”, and it is a very far from bringing “the design of danksharding to Ethereum early”. Since the rollup will be based on OP stack (optimistic rollup), it relies on the DA committee for safety of funds. Please be aware of the serious risks to safety of users funds involved in this setup!
