The new Ethereum, re-composed.
Rollups solved scalability, but broke system-level composability, the mechanism that made Ethereum economically unified.
@ComposeNetwork, built by SSV DAO, the team behind @ssv_network which secures over $20B in TVL, re-establishes atomic, synchronous interoperability across L2s, without compromising sequencer autonomy.
Atomic. Instant. Based 👇

1️⃣ The Problem: Ethereum scaled, but broke its superpower.
Rollups boosted throughput, but shattered composability.
Users, liquidity, and state live on fragmented islands.
Cross-rollup actions today are asynchronous — slow, multi-step, non-atomic.
Money-Legos became money-fragments.
2️⃣ Async UX killed atomic DeFi.
Act on Chain A, wait for confirmation, then act on Chain B.
That’s fine for bridges, not for DeFi.
Flash loans, arbitrage, and same-block swaps need atomicity.
Without it, liquidity fragments and innovation stalls.
4️⃣ Based Shared Publisher (SP): the key innovation
Each rollup keeps its own sequencer.
The SP just coordinates, verifying all cross-rollup legs using a Two-Phase Commit (2PC) and succinct ZK proofs.
If one leg fails, everything reverts.
That’s atomicity at Ethereum speed.
5️⃣ How it feels
✅ One-click UX across rollups
✅ dApps deploy once, reach everywhere
✅ Rollups stay sovereign, gain network-wide reach
✅ Validators coordinate & publish proofs to L1
In short: “many rollups, one chain.”
6️⃣ Built on Ethereum’s validator layer
SSV Network pioneered distributed validators (~14% of all ETH validators, securing 5M+ ETH).
Compose extends that validator-first vision — turning validators into composers of cross-rollup activity.
Value flows back to ETH, not away from it.
7️⃣ Why ZK + Based matters
ZK proofs → instant finality, atomic safety, and cheaper L1 settlement.
Based architecture → aligned with Ethereum validators.
Together, they make interoperability both trustless and profitable for ETH.
8️⃣ What you can do with Compose
💱 Cross-rollup swaps — “trade anywhere from anywhere”
⚡️ Flash loans & arb — only possible with atomic flow
💰 Unified lending — collateral on Rollup B, borrow on Rollup A
🎮 Cross-L2 NFTs & games — seamless asset movement
Everything works in a one chain UX.
9️⃣ Current Rollup Bridges vs Compose
LP/Intent Bridges → depend on third-party liquidity, async finality, risk of partial completion.
Compose → instant, atomic, validator-verified, same-block execution.
If one leg fails, nothing happens.
That’s how DeFi should work.
🔟 Why it matters to everyone
Users: One-click, instant feel, no waiting
dApps: Deploy once, reach all L2s
Rollups: Keep autonomy, gain composability
Validators: New revenue stream via interop fees
Ethereum: Becomes one cohesive, validator-aligned superchain
1️⃣1️⃣ TL;DR
Rollups scaled Ethereum, but broke money-Legos.
Compose puts the Legos back together.
Instant. Atomic. Based.
@ComposeNetwork powered by @SSVNetwork.
Built for Ethereum and it feels like Ethereum.
