# Lumia L2 - Fork ID 12 Release Notes

## Overview

We're excited to announce the upgrade of Lumia L2 to [Fork ID 12](https://github.com/0xPolygonHermez/cdk-erigon/releases/tag/v2.61.17), powered by the @0xPolygon CDK stack! 🚀

This upgrade introduces several key features designed to enhance the security, reliability, and interoperability of the Lumia L2 blockchain ecosystem. The improvements focus on transaction reliability, cross-chain security, and network resilience.

## Key Features

### 🔹 ZK Counters
- Transactions will now have a higher success rate with additional counters
- Improved handling of counter overflow conditions during gas estimation
- Enhanced reliability for transaction processing

### 🔹 Pessimistic Proofs (Coming Soon)
- An innovative feature providing an additional cryptographic layer of cross-chain security
- Assumes every connected chain could be unreliable, ensuring that one chain's issues cannot compromise the unified bridge
- Designed to strengthen cross-chain asset transfers while prioritizing the safety of funds across the network 🔒

### 🔹 Rollback Sequences & Special Recovery Mode
- Introduces rollback sequences and a special recovery mode
- Makes the network even more reliable by allowing for safer transaction management
- Provides recovery capabilities in case of issues
- Enhances overall network stability
