Gnosis and Zisk Pitch a Shared Rollup Zone

The Ethereum Economic Zone aims to let connected rollups call mainnet and each other inside one transaction, with the Ethereum Foundation helping fund the push.

Gnosis and Zisk say Ethereum's next scaling step should feel less like moving between chains and more like staying inside one system. The Block reports that the two groups unveiled the Ethereum Economic Zone, or EEZ, at EthCC in Cannes, with the Ethereum Foundation helping fund the effort.

The pitch is direct. Connected rollups should be able to call contracts on Ethereum mainnet and on one another inside a single transaction, with ETH as the default gas token and no extra bridge layer sitting in the middle. Gnosis co-founder Friederike Ernst told The Block that Ethereum's main problem is no longer raw scaling. It is fragmentation across separate liquidity pools, separate bridges, and separate user paths.
