L2BEAT confirmed that the emergency withdrawal mechanism, also known as the escape hatch, works on Lighter, an application-specific perpetuals-focused ZK rollup on Ethereum. L2BEAT independently regenerated and verified that all ZK circuits used by Lighter work.

The verification centers on Lighter's Desert mode, a failsafe triggered if the sequencer goes offline or misbehaves, allowing users to generate ZK proofs of their L2 account state and withdraw funds directly on Ethereum mainnet without depending on team involvement. The exit only works if the desert verifier contract on L1 matches the circuit source code, which Lighter recently published.

L2BEAT added Gnosis Chain to its Ethereum L2 analytics tracker. Gnosis Chain is an Ethereum sidechain with over $300 million in assets secured through its canonical bridge. The listing comes amid growing interest in the Ethereum Economic Zone (EEZ), a proposed framework that could eventually enable synchronous interoperability between EVM-compatible chains like Gnosis Chain.

L2Beat noted that the Gnosis bridge is secured by two 4/7 multisigs and administered by an 8/15 multisig. The central validator deposit contract, which escrows all staked GNO, is also upgradable by the 8/15 multisig. L2Beat highlighted Gnosis Chain's censorship resistance as it uses Ethereum's same single-proposer model. Gnosis is also piloting Shutterized Gnosis Chain Beta, an out-of-protocol, encrypted mempool implementation by Shutter Network.
