LineaThe Importance and Mechanics of Lending & Borrowing in DeFi
Lending and borrowing are the core of decentralized finance (DeFi). For the ecosystem, they provide liquidity to the market, ensure that capital is being used efficiently, and are the springboard for innovative products such as flash loans. For users, lending and borrowing provide them with traditional finance tools such as interest and liquidity, with all the added benefits of decentralization. Let’s look at the details of how lending and borrowing work in DeFi, the key terms you need to kno...
LineaTestnet Voyage LXP Drop Is Here
This week our team is excited to make the largest and most anticipated LXP drop in Linea’s history for some of the biggest OGs. The Testnet Voyage Campaign dates back to May 2023 when our network was just getting started and Linea Goerli struggled mightily to keep up with the enthusiasm and persistence of community members who joined Linea's inaugural campaign. In recognition of these efforts, community members received Voyage NFTs distributed in five categories—Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta...
LineaHow to Build a Decentralized Voting Dapp on Linea
Blockchain and web3 have changed our understanding of transparency, trust and decentralization. One of the most incredible use-case for this technology is the development of web3 dapps (decentralized applications) that offers solutions that are secure, verifiable and tamper-proof solutions to our everyday challenges. Among all the use-cases, decentralized voting stands out. Decentralized technologies remove middlemen and ensure transparent vote counts, this voting dapp has the potential to ch...

This blog post is dedicated to every builder in the Ethereum ecosystem
Today Linea’s founding member, Consensys, took an important step towards preserving access to ether, and by extension the Ethereum blockchain, and filed litigation against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The SEC should not be allowed to arbitrarily expand its jurisdiction in an attempt to include its regulatory purview over a technology, which is what Ethereum is at its core. The impact of such unlawful regulation by the SEC would limit access and utility to every builder and user of Ethereum today.
This is why Consensys took this step, to show the world:
The SEC has no authority—nor should it—to regulate technology.
The SEC only has jurisdiction over securities. Ether is not and should not be treated as a security.
Ether is a commodity. For that reason and many more, applications like MetaMask that people around the globe rely upon to access and use the Ethereum blockchain are not securities intermediaries or brokers.
At its core, Consensys’ case intends to hold the SEC accountable to the basic fact that it possesses no jurisdiction to regulate ether, software built on Ethereum, or the Ethereum blockchain in general.
We cannot and should not allow government overreach and arbitrariness to impede innovation and deprive builders and users from Ethereum’s ability to improve security, traceability, transparency, and trust in the systems that underpin our digital lives.
Consensys’ actions this week intend to protect the entire Ethereum ecosystem from overzealous interference of their work in web3. Because Ethereum isn't just about information being permissionless. It's about human ingenuity being permissionless.
Ethereum is for everyone. Do you feel the same?
