TechFlow News: On March 11, according to The Block, Ethereum ecosystem developers unveiled a proof-of-concept prototype for “Native Rollups,” enabling Ethereum to directly verify Layer 2 state transitions at the base layer—without relying on external verification systems such as zero-knowledge proofs or fraud proofs.
This approach introduces an EXECUTE precompile mechanism via EIP-8079, allowing Ethereum’s base layer to replay Layer 2 blocks to confirm their validity. Participating teams include Ethrex client developers, Ethereum Foundation contributors, and L2BEAT researchers. Developers note that this design enables Layer 2 networks to directly inherit Ethereum’s security properties and protocol upgrades, thereby simplifying long-term maintenance costs. Currently, this proposal remains in its early exploratory phase and has not yet entered production.
