The project is called the "Ethereum Economic Zone" (EEZ) and it is designed to make Ethereum's many add-on networks, known as layer two, work together more seamlessly. The project is being spearheaded by the Ethereum Foundation along with Ethereum infrastructure developers. Critics grumble that Ethereum relies on layer two networks to scale, and that those networks largely operate separate and independent from each other. Users have to move assets between them using bridges, which can be slow and costly, while developers often have to rebuild the same tools on each network, which is time consuming. The Ethereum Economic Zone aims to change that by making all the current layer two networks operate as one unified system, streamlining and improving the user experience in the process. In layman's terms, it will allow apps and transactions on different Ethereum networks to interact together instantly and seamlessly without needing bridges. The announcement comes after Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said that the ecosystem needs to rethink its layer two strategy as fragmentation and user experience issues persist. The Ethereum Economic Zone project is being developed openly with input from the wider Ethereum community. ETH is currently trading at $2,070.08 U.S. per digital token.
