What Is EthOne?

EthOne is a new way to use Ethereum without the high fees or the technical headaches. It lets users keep their assets safely on Ethereum Layer 1 while still enjoying fast, inexpensive transactions that feel like L2 but finalize on L1.

At EthOne’s core, we make Ethereum behave like Web2: smooth, cheap, and direct. Users never bridge tokens, switch networks, or wrestle with convoluted steps. You interact with Ethereum the way it should have always worked, while we carry the complexity in the background.

Beneath that effortlessness lies a clear principle: never compromise custody, never redirect trust. The assets stay on Ethereum. The computation happens on L2, the results land securely on Layer 1.

The Problem Ethereum Faces

Ethereum, despite its dominance, is slowly eroding under the weight of its own success. Congestion, volatile gas fees, and poor user experience have driven developers and users away from Layer 1. Layer 2s were supposed to be extensions, temporary scaffolding for Ethereum’s limitations. But over time, they’ve become self-contained empires.

Assets are no longer stored directly on Ethereum but locked inside bridges. Most new dApps deploy straight to L2, bypassing Layer 1 entirely. The result? Liquidity gets fragmented, composability suffers, and the “Ethereum experience” is now scattered across networks that often don’t talk to one another.

Ethereum is being reduced to a passive ledger, not the execution and state engine it was designed to be.

We call this process for what it is: the colonization of Layer 1.

How EthOne Solves It

EthOne offers a direct, structural response: reclaim Layer 1 without reintroducing friction.

We create a lightweight execution layer on L2 called the Execution Mesh, which processes computation in parallel. It then delivers cryptographic receipts micro-proofs to Ethereum’s Vault Contract, which guards assets and finalizes state. These proofs are tiny but decisive. No bridging. No batching. No chain switching. You click. Vault confirms.

What sets EthOne apart is its refusal to compromise L1 custody. Assets never leave Ethereum. The user remains grounded in the network they already trust. Meanwhile, the heavy lifting takes place out of view. This allows dApps to scale seamlessly, without abandoning Ethereum’s core guarantees.

We call this approach “Decolonize Layer 1.” It’s not just a technical shift - it’s a deliberate campaign to bring dApps, liquidity, and composability back home. With EthOne, developers can build fast and cheap applications without exiting the Layer 1 universe. For users, the interaction feels native, instant, and intuitive. Transaction fees drop to ~$0.03, not through shortcuts, but by rethinking how computation interacts with custody.

At the heart of this model is the EthOne Extension - a browser-based app that acts as both user interface and lightweight node. It connects to the Execution Mesh, receives bundles of actions, performs computation on L2s, and submits proofs to Ethereum. No sensitive data leaves the device. No centralized infrastructure required.

Users who hold at least 60 $ETHO in their wallet can activate a Prover - a virtual agent that helps validate execution. The more stable your activity and uptime, the more chances you have to submit proofs and receive protocol-level rewards.

How Users Get $ETHO Reward

Every Ethereum block includes a reward slot for one winning Prover. That Prover is chosen based on the Proving Difficulty Index (PDI), a dynamic metric that take into account your token balance, uptime history, and network load.

If your Prover is selected, the Vault Contract confirms your proof and releases $ETHO to your Provers. There’s no staking. No middleman. No “earn” mechanics. You contribute compute power, and the protocol recognizes it with real, on-chain rewards.

The process is frictionless:

• Just hold 60 $ETHO in your wallet

• Install and open the EthOne Extension at least once per day.

• Let the system compute in the background

Over time, your $ETHO balance grows as proof of your contribution, not because you trusted someone else, but because you participated directly in Ethereum’s future.

EthOne is not a shortcut. It’s not another side-chain. It’s Ethereum, refactored to be usable again.
