Linea started as a single pond filled with sovereignty-minded amphibians and other creatures, but this week in Bangkok we announced our plans to grow to a decentralized network of all the world’s like-minded ponds, puddles and wherever else Lineans may swim/roam. Wednesday at L2con and simultaneously at AltLayer Rollup Day and THW3 Bangkok, the team announced the formation of the Linea Association, an independent Swiss non-profit organization dedicated to advancing the growth, development and...

The world is full of networks, including a number of massive and privately owned social and data services we rely on that have become machines of value extraction, co-opting control over user data for the benefit of the network owner. There is a better way. Linea is the counterweight to today’s stifling tech oligopoly, built to be the home network for the world with a mission to empower everyone to live on chain. But such an important project shouldn’t live inside a single company, even one a...

In recognition of these efforts, community members received Voyage NFTs distributed in five categories—Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta...

The Home Network for the WorldThe vision for Linea began seven years ago with deep research into zero-knowledge technology. Five years later, that research came to life with the launch of Linea’s testnet, followed by Linea’s Alpha mainnet, and the scaling of gaming, DeFi and NFT sectors. In the 15 months since our mainnet launch, many of you have taken to dapps on Linea to buy, sell, swap, and stake; thousands have built non-stop to fulfill visions of new permissionless systems; others have f...

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...

With the launch of ENS on Linea last month, new frontiers are opening up for the ecosystem. Linea Name Service, a fork of Ethereum Name Service (ENS), allows users to register and manage subdomains for a fraction of the L1 gas price, working towards our goal of a user-friendly Ethereum. These subnames are fully compatible with ENS and can be used on any dapp or chain that supports ENS, with 350K registrations to date. However, the applications don't stop there. The Linea ENS repository t...
