Fireside Chat with Jordi on EEZ
summary
Protocol enables smart contracts on different chains to call each other as if on one chain, supporting arbitrary calls (voting, NFTs, identity) by writing an execution table to L1 and proving it with real-time ZK proving so resolution fits Ethereum’s 12-second block time. Proof cost drops from 128 GPUs to 12 GPUs, letting one ZK proof cover many cross-chain instructions so L2-to-L2 messages are effectively free. Permissionless rollups and non-EVM support are possible, a nonprofit association runs a DevNet live and flags block builder centralization as the biggest risk.
