Key Points:
On top of Ethereum, the Linea network enables zkEVM rollups, enabling developers to construct blockchain applications with quicker transaction speeds and reduced costs.
Consensys said on Tuesday that it would onboard ecosystem partners this week before launching Linea to the public at next week’s Ethereum Community Conference in Paris.
The network, according to Consensys, intends to provide a cost-effective option for Ethereum application developers and consumers, with transaction costs up to 15 times lower than Ethereum Layer 1. It is completely compatible with Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) bytecode and connects with Ethereum’s current development tools.
Joe Lubin, the founder and CEO of Consensys, stated:
“Ethereum layer 2 networks are set to play a crucial role in making great advances in scalability and usability. Linea’s zkEVM is the catalyst we’ve been waiting for to empower developers to shape the future of decentralized applications and encourage the builder in everyone.”
Linea is a Layer 2 chain that is interoperable with Ethereum applications and uses ZK-Rollups for scalability.
Its launch follows a successful testnet period in which Linea got tremendous user interest, becoming one of the biggest active projects on the Goerli testnet. 5.2 million distinct wallets participated during this period, completing almost 41 million transactions in only three months, but many of them may be considered airdrop farmers.
The alpha mainnet stage of Linea delivers a better user experience as well as an ecosystem of over 100 protocols, partners, and decentralized apps. The network will be used by the Consensys-owned self-custody web3 wallet MetaMask, as well as additional developer tools such as Infura, Diligence, and Hyperledger Besu.
Linea will first be available to the project’s testnet partners. It will thereafter be available to the public during the EthCC conference, which takes place from July 17 to July 20. Consensys announced the Linea Ecosystem Investment Alliance (EIA) at the launch of Mainnet Alpha, an effort sponsored by over 30 prominent venture capital companies that intend to empower builders by offering financing and resources.
