Telos Privacy is live. Open to the public. Today.
Not a testnet. Not gated access. Not a whitepaper promise.
The Telos Privacy Layer, zkTelos is here โ and it changes what this network is.
A thread on what launched, why it matters, and what comes next ๐งต
10 reasons to build on Telos๐
โ No MEV
โ Fixed Gas price and predictable
โ 1-second finality. Deterministic, on an L1
โ Full EVM compatible
โ 10,000+ TPS
โ Zero downtime since 2018
Community-owned. Privacy layer next
If it touches money, build it here๐ telos:native
Funny thing happens when you ship
Last 90 days: Teloswap live โ TelosZero Core โ 1-second finality live โ
TelosEVM 3.0 imminent.
telos:native, same 90 days: +52%
Market recovers when they
notice the difference between roadmaps and receipts
The OGs already knew ๐ $TLOS

Telos Instant Finality is LIVE.
Telos mainnet now runs Savanna consensus. Blocks arrive every 0.5 seconds and become irreversible after 2 blocks: 1 second.
Here is what changed at the protocol level. โ

What's new:
๐ฅ Instant Finality Is Now LIVE on Telos Mainnet
โก What's Next for Project Lightspeed?
โ๏ธ Privacy Tool at the Center of a US Federal Case
Watch now ๐
Instant Finality is here but what are its benefits-
Imagine you pay a merchant $5 in USDC
On most chains that payment sits pending reversible for minutes and the
merchant risks handing anything over
On Telos it's final in ~1 second. Paid, irreversible, done! telos:native
One sequencer is one point of failure.
Last month Base froze twice in a day (June 25-26, 2026) block production
dead for over an hour
Telos is an L1 with 21 BPs and Finalizers, no single node to stall,
deterministic finality in ~1s.
It just keeps going. ๐โก telos:native
When is a transaction actually final?
We raced the Layer 1s to irreversible. One tx, one clock:
Bitcoin ~60 min
Ethereum ~13 min
Solana ~12.8s
Avalanche ~1-2s
Telos + Savanna ~1s โก
Deterministic finality, no waiting around. The OGs finished first. ๐

@ChrisAr72575756 TelosEVM 3.0 and much much more to be revealed. Not to mention the use cases instant finality will be unlocking. More to come on this ๐ฅ

Instant Finality is Project Lightspeed milestone 2, following TelosZero Core. Next is TelosEVM 3.0 with telos-reth v2.
Thanks to all Telos BPs, with special thanks to @heifner and @EosusaM .

For infrastructure, irreversible state now arrives after 2 blocks rather than roughly 330. Integrations must still update confirmation policies.
Savanna does not accelerate ZK proving. It reduces the finality wait around proof submission, deposits and withdrawals.
