Although Gnosis doesn't seem to have a big voice in the field of encryption, it has been a long-time player and has done many practical things (such as CoW protocol, Safe wallet, predictive market framework, etc.). Gnosis mentioned here that he wants to help build a new L2 framework for Ethereum, called the Ethereum Economic Zone (EEZ). Seeing this proposal, it is worth mentioning. In the past two years, we have been nagging that one of the biggest obstacles hindering Ethereum's progress is the splitting of L2, which cannot form a synergy with L1. The L2 route, Ethereum's initial idea was "scaling", but unexpectedly, it expanded into dozens of islands. Developers are also very unhappy. For a project, having to redeploy, reconnect, search for liquidity, and create a new wallet on multiple L2 platforms is like copying the same product many times. Users are even more unhappy, as the money has to cross chain bridges (which are slow and expensive), and assets are scattered across different chains, making it difficult to remember. It feels like transferring money between many different countries. That is to say, Previously, people used to say that 'Ethereum scaling was successful', but in fact, it only solved the fundamental problem of 'cheap+fast', and did not solve the fundamental problem of 'everyone can still play seamlessly together'. The core of the EEZ framework is to address this issue. The goal is to enable all L2+Ethereum mainnets in EEZ to interact in real-time like a chain. Technically, it is called 'synchronous composability'. Simply put, it means that contracts can be directly called upon within a transaction Assets that do not require bridges, waiting, or packaging can be directly utilized with the liquidity of the main network (such as Uniswap's main network pool, which you can immediately use on L2); The most important thing is that security also directly inherits from the Ethereum mainnet validator (without having to create consensus themselves). In this way, Developers can deploy the entire Ethereum L1/L2 ecosystem in one go. The user feels like they are back on a 'chain'. Technically speaking, EEZ is not a specific chain, but a new Rollup framework (similar to a set of standard templates) that allows multiple L2 to synchronize and combine with Ethereum L1 and each other in real-time. Nowadays, the cross chain of ordinary L2 is "asynchronous": when you send a transaction, you have to wait for the bridge to confirm and wait for the finality, which may take several minutes to hours, and may even fail. EEZ wants it to become 'all in one transaction': The contract directly calls the mainnet contract (or another EEZ L2 contract) on L2, immediately receives the return value, and continues to execute with atomicity throughout the process (either complete success or complete failure), ensuring the same security and execution guarantee as directly on the mainnet. From the current disclosure, technically it mainly relies on real-time zero knowledge proving, provided by Zisk (Jordi Baylina's project, who is a zk expert and a core contributor to Circom and Polygon zkEVM). Simply put, Multiple Rollup+mainnet states are coordinated in real-time through cross Rollup state synchronization mechanisms (such as unified state root). When executing transactions, it's like treating several chains as a temporary big chain: When contracts are called across environments, ZK proof can quickly verify everything is correct. No need for additional bridges, no need to package assets, directly use the native ETH of the main network as gas token, liquidity sharing (such as the main network Uniswap pool, which can also be used directly on L2). • Safely inherit the complete set of Ethereum validators (without its own consensus mechanism). It is not a traditional Based Rollup (based Rollup is an L2 sorter that relies entirely on an L1 sorter/inclusion, emphasizing decentralization and censorship resistance). EEZ emphasizes more on synchronous composability, not just a simple sorter mode. It will enable EEZ Rollup to settle on L1 and emphasize the inheritance of L1 security and real-time interaction, possibly drawing on or compatible with L1 based mechanisms in design (such as L1 based force inclusion). The specific technical white paper and specifications have not been released yet (it is said that performance testing, architecture details, and developer tools will be released in the coming weeks), and now the main focus is on abstract framework descriptions. Summarize the principle in one sentence: Using real-time ZK proof and cross Rollup state synchronization protocol, multiple Rollups and the main network are "glued" into an atomic execution environment, working like a super chain, but each is still an independent Rollup.
