This was stated by Gnosis co-founder Friederike Ernst in an interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/features\/ethereums-eez-pull-other-blockchains-orbit\">Cointelegraph<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The concept is being developed to combat liquidity fragmentation. According to Ernst, many projects outside the blockchain of the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization have already shown interest in the initiative.<\/p>\n<p>The implementation of the EEZ will allow different networks to interact as if they are part of a single structure. This will solve the problem of protocol duplication, where popular services like <a href=\"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/news\/what-is-aave\">Aave<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/news\/what-are-makerdao-mkr-and-the-dai-stablecoin\">Maker<\/a> are forced to launch separate versions in each L2 network.<\/p>\n<p>To join the economic zone, a blockchain must meet three criteria:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>have a clear state transition function;<\/li>\n<li>generate cryptographic proofs for each block;<\/li>\n<li>support the ability to reorganize synchronously with Ethereum.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ernst described the last condition as the most challenging but essential for ensuring the security of shared transactions.<\/p>\n<p>Technically, the process will be facilitated by block builders. They will recognize smart contracts from different networks and include them atomically in a single block: either both transactions are executed, or neither is. This will allow the use of Ethereum mainnet applications directly from L2 solutions without splitting liquidity into numerous small markets.<\/p>\n<p>Ernst noted that participation in the EEZ does not require mandatory use of the <a href=\"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/news\/what-is-the-ethereum-virtual-machine-evm\">EVM<\/a>. This makes the proposal attractive even for private institutional networks. However, the Gnosis co-founder emphasized that blockchains can leave the economic zone at any time if their strategy changes.<\/p>\n<p>Back in March, the Ethereum Foundation <a href=\"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/news\/ethereum-foundation-to-implement-quantum-security-by-2029\">introduced<\/a> a roadmap for protecting the network from quantum computers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not only L2 solutions but also external first-level networks may join the Ethereum Economic Zone, stated Gnosis co-founder Friederike Ernst.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":26216,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"select":"1","news_style_id":"1","cryptorium_level":"","_short_excerpt_text":"L1 networks may join Ethereum's Economic Zone, says Gnosis co-founder.","creation_source":"","_metatest_mainpost_news_update":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[1652,46,1179],"class_list":["post-96548","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-and-analysis","tag-blockchain-platforms","tag-ethereum","tag-layer-2-solutions"],"aioseo_notices":[],"amp_enabled":true,"views":"23","promo_type":"1","layout_type":"1","short_excerpt":"L1 networks may join Ethereum's Economic Zone, says Gnosis co-founder.","is_update":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96548","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=96548"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96548\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":96549,"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96548\/revisions\/96549"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26216"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=96548"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=96548"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=96548"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
