"One question is, will current L2s adopt this? In the short term, adoption might be slow. Larger L2s are indeed reluctant to easily give up their own interests: Many L2s make money through their own sequencers, MEV, gas fees, tokenomics, bridge fees, etc. EEZ requires using ETH as the default gas, sharing liquidity, and adopting a unified framework, which could dilute their 'moats' and revenue streams. Additionally, independent L2s have their own governance, upgrade rights, and unique features. Joining the EEZ framework means adhering to common standards, reducing the space for 'customization.' Plus, there are migration costs for existing ecosystems, bridges, and dApps. Especially Base and Arbitrum—they might observe first or partially integrate (e.g., supporting EEZ cross-calls but not fully switching). However, in the long term, if network effects kick in, it could be appealing: Especially for new projects—deploy once, and the entire EEZ ecosystem (including the mainnet) can be used. No need to repeatedly build liquidity or maintain bridges. The user experience would also improve, returning to 'One Ethereum,' without chain-hopping or remembering addresses. The Ethereum Foundation supports this, with Gnosis and Zisk leading the charge. The code is fully open-source (Swiss non-profit model, aiming for minimal governance and eventual immutability), making it a 'public infrastructure.' Some DeFi and RWA protocols are planning to join. If EEZ truly achieves low gas fees, high performance, and developer-friendly tools, the network effect could gradually pull people in—just like how the EVM standard unified everyone back in the day. Of course, there are skeptics asking why not collaborate with more mature solutions like Based Rollup. Such doubts are normal. More people caring about and pushing forward the issue of Ethereum ecosystem fragmentation is a good thing." #Ethereum #L2 #EEZ #Crypto
