Today we invite developers and users to participate in the first of a series of learning challenges or “voyages” across Linea and our partner ecosystem. A key aspect of the Ethereum ecosystem is consistent improvement. When the network was founded in 2015, the Core Developers (Core Devs) and the community had already begun hashing out the roadmap that would lead us to Ethereum 2.0. A better, upgraded version of Ethereum at the time promised three things – sustainability, security and scalabil...

The Linea Voyage is nearing its end and we are now on to Week 8. In this week, which will also mark the final week of on-chain activities, our focus is on decentralized finance (DeFi). DeFi is one of the most important use cases of web3, with the total value locked currently at $45.11B. Even though Ethereum still dominates the world of DeFi in terms of market share, its scalability issues still hinder the widespread adoption of DeFi. Higher activity on Ethereum leads to low throughput and sub...

A former very smart high schooler explains the basics of Linea’s inner-proof system and why lattice-based hashing is so cool. Hey hey! I’m Emily, your friendly developer advocate, here to summarize the Linea prover for a very smart high schooler. That is, covering it at the highest level without getting into any of the actual math. Check out our May community call, where our researcher explains his work on lattice-based hashing.The BasicsI’m going to assume, as a very smart, crypto-native hig...

We break down the basics of zkEVMs for all readers, irrespective of their level of familiarity with web3. Zero-Knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machines (zkEVMs) are seen as a key component of Ethereum’s plan to achieve unbridled scalability. They greatly simplify the process of building for developers, and offer a low-cost and secure environment to innovate. However, it can often be difficult to fully understand what a zkEVM means and to grasp its importance in the next phase of Ethereum’s evoluti...
