The Ethereum Economic Zone aims to unify fragmented rollups, but its broader goal is to extend interoperability to other blockchains, says Ernst.
A proposal to stitch Ethereum’s fragmented liquidity together extends beyond its own ecosystem and may bring other blockchains into the fold.
On March 29, Gnosis, a long-time Ethereum builder and blockchain infrastructure company, unveiled that it is developing the Ethereum Economic Zone (EEZ) with Zisk, a zero-knowledge virtual machine project.
The EEZ is aimed at linking layer-2 rollups more tightly to Ethereum layer 1, with Ether remaining as the gas token and settlement layer. It introduces a model where smart contracts can interact across mainnet and EEZ rollups with atomic execution.
