What's quickly becoming apparent is that for projects aiming to launch a high-scalability crypto platform, deploying as an Ethereum execution protocol (EEP) is hands-down the smartest trade-off in the blockchain space.
An EEP — also known as a Layer 2 — inherits Ethereum mainnet's security guarantees and allows trustless bridging to other EEPs. This setup unlocks massive interoperability advantages while barely impacting scalability, since Ethereum only needs minimal verification overhead.
This is possible thanks to two game-changing innovations:
• Rollup Construct: A hierarchical, Merkle-tree-based data structure that bundles off-chain transactions into a single compact commitment posted to Ethereum mainnet. Individual transactions or states within the rollup can be quickly verified through Merkle proofs.
• Fraud and Validity Proofs: Fraud proofs (for optimistic rollups) and succinct validity proofs (for ZK rollups) ensure integrity and correctness of off-chain execution, eliminating the burden of re-executing every transaction onchain.
Major global entities already recognize these advantages. Industry leaders like Coinbase (Base), Robinhood (Robinhood L2), Sam Altman of OpenAI (World Chain), Ant Digital from Alibaba (Jovay), Sony (Soneium), Deutsche Bank (Memento), and Kraken (Ink) have each launched or committed to their own EEPs, underscoring Ethereum’s growing centrality in the high-performance blockchain landscape.
