ETH's HTTP Moment? How Ethereum Interop Layer Hopes to Fix L2 Fragmentation - Ep. 953

In this episode of Unchained, Laura Shin interviews Marissa Posner and Yoav Weiss from the Ethereum Foundation about their new project, the Ethereum Interop Layer (EIL). They discuss the problems EIL aims to solve, such as the lack of seamless user experience and trust assumptions in cross-chain transactions. They explain how EIL works by pushing logic into the wallet, enabling users to transact across multiple chains without intermediaries, and compare it to existing models and Near Intents. They also touch on security risks, the HTTP analogy, types of transactions that will and will not use EIL, and the impact on Ethereum activity, as well as the Trustless Manifesto.
