Exaion expands Tezos support as an Etherlink validator

Exaion, a subsidiary of French electric utility giant EDF Group, is now a validator of Etherlink, the Tezos-powered layer 2 blockchain. Exaion, which offers high-performance computing and cloud solutions for blockchains, has joined Etherlink, an Ethereum ( ETH ) Virtual Machine compatible L2 powered by Tezos ( XTZ ) smart rollups, as validator. The move follows a key milestone that saw Exaion join Tezos as a corporate baker in October 2020. As an EVM -compatible layer 2 platform, Etherlink enables non-custodial and seamless integration with Ethereum tools, leveraging Tezos’ rollup technology for scalability and accountability. Integration across the Ethereum ecosystem includes wallets and indexers. The layer 2 chain, which launched in late 2024, also connects to other EVM-compatible chains.

Etherlink has attracted projects such as money market funds platform Spiko and Coinbase-backed real-world assets platform Midas. Other platforms are also testing various use cases on the L2, including tokenized assets and contract deployments. Exaion’s launch of validator operations for the network adds to overall stability and decentralization as growth continues. “Rollup security relies on the presence of at least one honest validator,” said Arthur Breitman, co-founder of Tezos. “So the more reputable parties validating the Etherlink rollup, the more robust it is.” You might also like: Tezos’ Etherlink L2 booms with 184% surge in contract deployments, Messari Q4 2024 report shows
