If you haven’t heard the buzz yet, the Ethereum Dencun Upgrade is coming up, and that’s HUGE news for Linea and the L2 landscape. But why? You might ask. EIP-4844. That’s why! Linea gas fees are about to drop dramatically. What is EIP-4844? TL;DR Linea and other L2s are secure because they post their data and the ZK validity proof back to Ethereum, enabling data availability. However, posting this data back makes Linea (and every other L2) subject to expensive operating costs in the form of d...

Today marks the six-month anniversary of Linea’s mainnet launch, an audacious project we undertook in July 2023. Since the launch, we are thrilled to have outpaced all other zkEVMs in terms of total value locked, transactions per second, the volume of transactions, and the number of decentralized applications (dapps) on the network. Our strides in the Layer 2 (L2) space back in March 2023 were met with an incredible response from early partners and testnet users. Since then, the community has...

User experience (UX) in web3 stands to improve a great deal as the ecosystem continues to grow. =Compared to the web2 apps we are all used to, the web3 UX can be complicated, error-prone, unfamiliar, and burdened by concepts such as seed phrases, transactions, and gas fees. Account abstraction is a change to the current model that aims to abstract away the details of blockchain from users and enable a web3 user experience that is seamless, delightful, and rivals the best of web2. In this arti...

PADO is an innovative network that makes internet data available in web3 smart contracts. The availability of this data expands the capabilities of smart contracts, and enables the monetization of personal data within a privacy-protected framework. In response to an increasing demand for data ownership and heightened privacy, there arises a necessity for a conduit that facilitates the shift from closed platforms to a more open internet, and PADO aptly addresses this requirement. Diverging fro...

Decentralized finance (DeFi) has created an alternative financial system that is both inclusive and widely available. With its “stackable” legos of functionality, it has not only replicated many of the trading products of traditional finance but has created new primitives that weren’t possible before. However, these DeFi trading products can be complex and difficult to understand. Along with the power of DeFi comes the responsibility of understanding the products before using them. To prepare...
