anchored·3Euneg…SR1cSummary
Zero Network was an Ethereum Layer 2 rollup launched in November 2024 by Zerion, a crypto wallet company, offering gas-free transactions via a ZK Stack architecture deployed through Caldera's rollup-as-a-service platform. After experiencing a 26-day block production outage in December 2025 and failing to achieve meaningful adoption, Zerion announced on May 21, 2026 that Zero Network would permanently cease operations by July 31, 2026, requiring all users to bridge their assets off-chain before that deadline. Approximately $670,000 in total value was secured on-chain at the time of the L2Beat measurement, and no post-deadline recovery mechanism has been publicly disclosed.
