【Canton Ecosystem Update】Rome Protocol launches Ostia: a ZK EVM on Canton DevNet
On November 9, Rome Protocol unveiled Ostia—a ZK EVM running on Canton DevNet since October 22. ZisK proves each EVM block, after which the confirming participant atomically submits it together with the associated Canton operations (chain ID 770101, test token tROME, RPC). Developers can deploy Solidity contracts using Foundry/Hardhat, bridge test assets to a Canton twin, and activate a Canton account by signing with a wallet. Rome currently operates all Ostia services; the documentation warns that balances may be reset and the network must not be used for real-value assets.
