The unleashed power of stacking EEZ & FCR seen through an example

In briefCombining FCR and EEZ: faster cross-layer payments on Ethereum without a bridge

SummaryThis ethresear.ch post uses a checkout example to show how the Fast Confirmation Rule (FCR) and the Ethereum Economic Zone (EEZ) work together. FCR shortens the wait before a block can be trusted, while EEZ removes the separate crossing between a rollup and the base layer. Used together, the author says a payment can confirm in about two slots, roughly 25 seconds, without trusting a bridge.
