Introducing Etherlink Ecosystem Report: Scaling Tezos with an EVM-compatible, non-custodial Layer 2—an exclusive report exploring how Etherlink, a Layer 2 rollup built on Tezos, delivers Ethereum compatibility, high performance, and cost-effective infrastructure for developers and enterprises.

We’re also excited to announce that Etherlink on-chain data is now available on The Tie Terminal.

Etherlink represents a comprehensive extension of the Tezos ecosystem, introducing Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility through an optimized Layer 2 solution. As the blockchain industry increasingly demands interoperability between ecosystems, Etherlink addresses a critical gap by bringing the vast Ethereum developer community and tooling to Tezos while maintaining Tezos’ fundamental security and governance advantages. This strategic Layer 2 enables Tezos to access the largest smart contract ecosystem while offering EVM developers enhanced performance, reduced costs, and improved security guarantees.

As demand for cross-chain interoperability and EVM tooling accelerates, Etherlink emerges as a keystone in Tezos’ broader rollup strategy—delivering a compelling environment for DeFi, real-world assets (RWAs), and composable blockchain applications.

For a full breakdown of Etherlink’s architecture, real-world impact, and role in the future of cross-chain blockchain infrastructure, download the full report below.

Etherlink on-chain data is now available on The Tie Terminal. The Tie’s institutional clients can access real-time analytics and insights to monitor adoption, ecosystem activity, and capital flows across the Etherlink network.
