Ethereum rollup framework targets L2 fragmentation fix
Gnosis, Zisk, and the Ethereum Foundation launched the Ethereum Economic Zone (EEZ) at EthCC to reduce Ethereum L2 fragmentation. The rollup framework enables contracts across connected rollups and mainnet EEZ chains to call each other within a single transaction, removing the need for bridges.
The Ethereum Foundation is co-funding the effort despite pausing its open grants program in mid-2025 to cut its burn rate. EEZ backers and alliance members include Aave, block builders Titan and Beaver Build, real-world asset platform Centrifuge, and tokenized equities project xStocks. The approach uses ETH as the default gas token and introduces no new bridging infrastructure.
Technically, Zisk founder Jordi Baylina (creator of Circom and a former zkEVM co-founder at Polygon) says the stack can generate real-time zero-knowledge proofs to support “synchronous composability.” The team argues this reduces trust assumptions compared with other interoperability efforts, including Optimism’s Superchain, Polygon’s AggLayer, and the Ethereum Foundation’s Interop Layer.
EEZ will be organized as a Swiss non-profit, with all code released as open source. The announcement arrives as Vitalik Buterin has criticized the L2-heavy scaling vision for slow decentralization progress and continued liquidity silos.

整体偏中性。该 rollup framework 可能在长期提升以太坊生态的互操作性与“原生式”可组合性，理论上有利于减少桥的风险、降低跨链摩擦，并缓解L2流动性分割问题；从而对DeFi用户体验与资本效率形成正面预期。
但短期影响可能有限：类似“互操作/单一执行环境”叙事在以往多次出现（如Superchain、AggLayer、Interop Layer等），市场往往需要看到可运行的落地进度、生态集成速度以及实际成交/TVL数据后才会持续定价。若短期内仍处于方案验证与测试阶段，交易者更可能把它当作主题催化而非立刻改变基本面。
从市场行为类比，安全与可组合性的叙事通常会带来“情绪溢价”（利好L2/生态代币的交易活跃度），但一旦进度不及预期或出现技术验证延迟，溢价会回落。因此更可能是：短期偏情绪中性或轻微波动，长期若实现同步交互与显著的跨L2流动性联通，则偏利多。
