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...

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...

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...

We’re committed to providing web3 developers with top-tier infrastructure for creating novel decentralized applications. To further reinforce this commitment, Linea has integrated the industry-standard Chainlink Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP). We’re leveraging CCIP to enable developers to build secure and feature-rich cross-chain applications and expand the multi-chain ecosystem. “We’re thrilled that Linea has integrated Chainlink CCIP and are excited to see how they will levera...

In the rapidly evolving world of digital finance, Linea is excited to announce a strategic partnership with Aryze, a global fintech innovator based in Denmark. This collaboration brings Aryze's suite of tokenized Real-World Assets (RWAs) and their unique Stablecoin-as-a-Service offerings to the Linea blockchain. By integrating Aryze's E-Assets into the Linea ecosystem, we're bridging the gap between traditional finance and the digital economy, providing unprecedented access to ...

For 11 days, Lineans competed in the Linea Guild Games, entering the world of Unfettered Awakening, killing zombies, and doing their best to stay alive. On this journey, Lineans weren’t alone, accompanied by avatar companions representing the first four guilds: Efrogs, Foxy, FrogwifCat, and Linus. You may have even caught a live stream of our Linea team member and resident LGG legend, Christopher, taking on the Chapter IX Finale. The whole experience was made possible by Linea, Unfettered Eco...

Web3 is transforming the internet by empowering people with new kinds of personal, economic, and political agency. From decentralized finance, digital art, to self-sovereign identity and new forms of governance, every project, every innovation, is born from a belief in a better future. Yet, despite the inclusive vision and technological innovation, web3 is currently under attack in the US. Reckless regulation for crypto is currently threatening to unplug US builders from web3. Now is the time...

With almost 400,000 members, the Linea Discord is a center point of our web3 community. It’s the spot where fun, connection, feedback, questions, the good and the imperfect come together in a crazy melting pot. Linea’s Discord moderators work their magic engaging and answering all the questions, queries, and quandaries users may have. But they’re not the only ones that keep the Linea Discord running. Once we cut through all the requisite friendly (and sometimes not-so-friendly) banter on Line...

The first yield trading application on Linea is here! Splice Finance allows users to lock in and earn fixed yields or maximize points and variable yield from interest-bearing assets. Native yield trading allows users to split their yield-bearing tokens into two distinct components: Principal Tokens (PTs) and Yield Tokens (YTs). This approach provides flexibility and maximizes earning potential by enabling users to choose between fixed and variable yields. Here’s how it works and what you need...

Author: Valentin Wustholz Many Layer 2 (L2) blockchains, including Linea, rely on zero-knowledge (ZK) infrastructure. This infrastructure is highly complex ("moon math") and critical for the correct operation of these chains. In other words, even a single bug can result in catastrophic financial and reputational damage. Even though we have not seen a catastrophic incident in ZK-based L2s comparable to TheDAO hack in 2016, it requires great engineering discipline and rigorous testing to bullet...

In web3, decentralized applications (dapps) have gained popularity due to their ability to provide secure, transparent, and trustless services. Some of the most popular types of dapps are decentralized marketplaces, which allow users to buy and sell items directly on the blockchain, eliminating the need for intermediaries. In this tutorial, we will build a simple marketplace dapp on Linea, a Layer 2 zkEVM technology that offers a scalable and cost-efficient environment while maintaining the s...

Welcome to the incredible world of Linea Prover, a solution in blockchain technology that ensures data integrity and privacy through zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs). The prover is the backbone of Linea, a Type 2 zkEVM that aims to maintain near-complete compatibility with existing Ethereum infrastructure while significantly improving transaction speed and reducing costs In this post, we will explore the complex components that make up Linea Prover, including arithmetization, Arcane, polynomial-I...
