Ethereum news: Researchers have unveiled a prototype for 'Native Rollups,' enabling Ethereum to verify Layer 2 state transitions directly on the base layer. The design utilizes the EXECUTE precompile via EIP-8079, allowing Ethereum to replay Layer 2 blocks for validation. Ethereum ecosystem news: The project involves developers from Ethrex, the Ethereum Foundation, and L2BEAT. The solution aims to allow Layer 2 networks to inherit Ethereum’s security and upgrades while reducing long-term costs. The proposal is in early exploration and not yet live.

According to The Block, Ethereum ecosystem developers have released a proof-of-concept prototype for "native rollups," enabling Ethereum to validate Layer 2 state transitions directly at the base layer without relying on external verification systems such as zero-knowledge proofs or fraud proofs. The solution introduces an EXECUTE precompile via EIP-8079, allowing Ethereum’s native layer to replay Layer 2 blocks to verify their validity. Participating teams include developers of the Ethrex client, contributors to the Ethereum Foundation, and researchers from L2BEAT. Developers state that this design enables Layer 2 networks to directly inherit Ethereum’s security properties and protocol upgrades, reducing long-term maintenance costs. The solution is currently in an early exploratory stage and has not yet entered production.
