Ethereum Client, Near Protocol, EigenLayer Fast Finality Layer Layer Goes Live

Nethermind, an Ethereum Client, has just declared its participation in NEAR Protocol’s Fast Finality Layer (NFFL) initiative. This union comes at a crucial time for decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts when the blockchain industry is experiencing a rollup in Layer 2 user adoption in the Ethereum network. Nevertheless, though promising advances in scalability and efficiency have been achieved, challenges such as liquidity fragmentation and high finality times remain that impede user experience and innovation.
