what's Ethereum Economic Zone (EEZ)?
The Ethereum Economic Zone (EEZ) is a rollup framework that enables synchronous composability between Ethereum Layer 1 and connected Layer 2 rollups. It allows smart contracts on EEZ rollups to call contracts on mainnet or other EEZ rollups within a single transaction, providing mainnet-like execution guarantees without bridges or fragmented liquidity pools. Powered by real-time zero-knowledge proofs using the Zisk proving stack and a ZKVM capable of proving Ethereum blocks in real time, EEZ uses ETH as the default gas token and supports shared liquidity, universal identity verification, and seamless smart wallet connectivity across chains. Developed by Gnosis and Zisk, with co-funding from the Ethereum Foundation, EEZ is governed as credibly neutral infrastructure under a Swiss non-profit, with all software released as free and open-source. It forms the basis for the EEZ Alliance, an informal collective of ecosystem participants including Aave, Safe, Flashbots, and others, aiming to unify the EVM landscape and address Ethereum's fragmentation by treating multiple rollups as a single, economically aligned chain.
Safe joined EEZ, enabling one Safe account across Ethereum L1 and all EEZ L2s.
Launched at EthCC as a rollup framework enabling synchronous composability across L1 and L2s without bridges, developed by Gnosis and Zisk. Safe joined the EEZ alliance to enable one Safe account across Ethereum L1 and all EEZ L2s.
