2024 has been a year of big changes, exciting innovations, and moments we’ll remember for a long time. From launching Telos EVM 2.0 and advancing zero-knowledge research to announcing Telos X, Telos had a year to remember. But honestly, it wasn’t just about the tech it was about the people who believed in Telos, contributed their ideas, and worked together to make all of this happen.Let’s look back at what we accomplished this year and what it means for the future.

We are pleased to announce that as of November 20, 2024, Telos EVM version 2.0 has been successfully deployed to production. This significant upgrade brings our network closer to feature parity with Ethereum while reducing the install footprint.

What is Qudo?At its core, Qudo simplifies the leap from Web2 to Web3 for game developers, enabling them to integrate blockchain technology into their games in under 30 minutes with the Qudo SDK for Unity. But Qudo is more than just a tool—it’s a system designed to elevate gaming experiences for players and developers alike.

Telos, a Web3 Venture Studio owned and shaped by its community, is leading the way in blockchain innovation with one of the fastest and most efficient Layer 1 blockchains available today. With a remarkable transaction speed of 15,000 TPS, gas fees as low as $0.001, 0.5-second block times, and zero downtime since its launch in 2021, Telos is thrilled to announce its integration with Fireblocks. This partnership represents a major milestone, enabling institutions and businesses to securely custody $TLOS and other Telos EVM-based assets while seamlessly engaging with DeFi applications on Telos EVM.

November has been a big month for Telos. We unveiled the Telos Manifesto, launched Telos EVM 2.0, shared progress on SNARKtor, and gave a sneak peek at Telos X. With new integrations and community events, we’ve set the stage for an exciting 2025. Here’s a quick look at what happened this month.

We are thrilled to announce a major breakthrough in our development: the Polygon Hermez zkEVM (PIL Stark) proof wrapper implemented using Plonky2 GoldiBear. This innovation can heavily improve zkEVM Layer 2 attestations costs by significantly enhancing both efficiency and performance, enabling unparalleled cost and latency reductions.

We’re excited to announce that Telos has partnered with Brillion, integrating $TLOS into their Web3 wallet. This partnership makes it easier than ever for users to securely store, manage, and interact with $TLOS within Brillion’s wallet platform.

In a strategic move to streamline development and align more closely with the final vision for SNARKtor, we have incorporated several activities from Milestone 2 into Milestone 1. This expanded milestone aims to deliver a more comprehensive and robust foundation while optimizing the overall development process.

TitanBorn has officially launched, introducing a modern take on the arcade fighting genre. Built on Telos blockchain, the game offers fully customizable characters, and diverse gameplay modes, all powered by Telos' EVM 2.0.

Over the past months, a significant outflow of TLOS liquidity has already taken place, but there is still a considerable amount of TLOS tokens safeguarded by pNetwork.To streamline this process for our users, we are pleased to announce that pNetwork and the Telos Foundation have reached an agreement to transfer the remaining TLOS tokens to the Telos Foundation for safeguarding and to facilitate seamless migration.

Since the launch of Telos EVM 1.5 in March, our dedicated development team has been working tirelessly to deliver Telos EVM 2.0. This groundbreaking upgrade brings a new level of speed, efficiency, and functionality to our EVM. Say hello to lightning-fast transactions, minimal fees, and unmatched performance! We’re thrilled to share what this means for developers, users, and the broader blockchain community.

We're excited to share that Telos has integrated with SimpleSwap, a crypto exchange service with over 2,000 currencies and support for 130+ blockchains. SimpleSwap makes it easy for our community to access seamless swap solutions, providing cross-chain functionality and user-friendly options to buy and exchange crypto without the need for KYC verification.
