Linea

Linea, a ZK rollup developed by ConsenSys, has garnered significant attention, raising an impressive $726 million and unveiling its mainnet to the public. Early participants on the testnet have been assured of rewards, indicating a strong possibility of Linea launching its own token in the future and conducting an airdrop for both early testnet and mainnet participants. What’s Linea? Linea stands as a type 2 zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine (zkEVM), which mirrors the Ethereum environment as a rollup. Developers can construct it in a way that is akin to the Ethereum mainnet. Linea offers users the flexibility to deploy any smart contract, utilise various tools, and develop as if they were operating on Ethereum. This grants users the familiar experience and security assurances of Ethereum, coupled with reduced transaction costs.
