ENS: Surge, which is migrating its L2 network Namechain to Nethermind
TL;DR
ENS is migrating its L2 network Namechain to Nethermind's Surge, a native sharding framework on Taiko, to support decentralization values like fast determinism and censorship resistance, with a clear upgrade path.

PANews reported on November 17th that the Ethereum Namechain project announced it is migrating its L2 network, Namechain, to Nethermind's Surge, a native sharding framework built on the Taiko technology stack. ENS stated that it believes native ordering and native sharding technologies best support the core decentralized values required by Namechain: fast determinism, Ethereum native settlement, and censorship resistance. With Surge, ENS can launch Namechain as the first phase of sharding and clearly plan the second phase upgrade path.
