New ‘Ethereum Economic Zone’ Proposal Aims to Unite Fragmented Layer-2 Ecosystem
- A proposed Ethereum framework would link layer-2 networks into a single system, enabling direct interaction without bridges and improving efficiency.
- The EEZ initiative focuses on reducing fragmentation by allowing rollups to share liquidity, infrastructure and applications seamlessly.
- Backed by the Ethereum Foundation, the plan introduces a coordinated approach to interoperability, with standards led by an industry alliance.
Developers from Gnosis and Zisk, supported by the Ethereum Foundation, have introduced a proposal to address fragmentation across Ethereum’s layer-2 ecosystem through a new framework called the Ethereum Economic Zone (EEZ). The initiative was unveiled at the EthCC conference in Cannes and is designed to enable rollups to interact seamlessly with one another and with the Ethereum mainnet within a single transaction.
At its core, the EEZ would allow smart contracts deployed on different rollups to execute synchronously, removing the need for bridging infrastructure between networks. The framework aims to replicate the experience of operating directly on Ethereum by enabling contracts across connected environments to interact with the same guarantees as the mainnet.
This approach also retains ETH as the default gas token, avoiding the introduction of additional tokens.

Unifying the Layer-2 Landscape
The proposal targets a longstanding issue within Ethereum’s scaling strategy, where the expansion of layer-2 networks has increased throughput but divided liquidity, infrastructure and user activity across separate ecosystems. By enabling shared infrastructure and unified liquidity, the EEZ seeks to reduce duplication and simplify development across rollups.
An “EEZ Alliance” has also been proposed to coordinate standards and encourage adoption, bringing together ecosystem participants, including DeFi protocols and infrastructure providers. The project is being developed collaboratively with researchers and industry contributors, with further technical specifications and performance benchmarks expected in the coming weeks.
