Let’s dive deeper into how Linea is supporting dapps to thrive:

MetaMask Integration: Linea is bootstrapped by Consensys, the same parent company that incubated MetaMask, the world’s leading web3 wallet. Our unique relationship with MetaMask helps give dapps exposure to the largest and most engaged web3 native user base. This started with MetaMask featuring Linea as a preferred network within its wallet and Portfolio while Linea and MetaMask continue to explore new integrations to deliver an ecosystem where dapps thrive.

Ecosystem Engagement: To grow the ecosystem, onboard new users, and identify stakeholders to help the network decentralize, Linea hosts the Voyage—a series of IRL and on-chain activations that encourage users to discover exciting new web3 opportunities, explore Linea’s dapp ecosystem, and educate themselves around specific web3 themes. For dapps, these activations help increase visibility and activity, stimulating user discovery and (if they’ve done a good job) paving the road for sustainable retention. Even beyond these activations, Linea leverages its vast network to offer expanded distribution opportunities across channels.

Extensive Partner Support: If you’ve come to one of our IRL events or online community calls, you’ve likely met our superstar growth team. They constantly go above and beyond, giving dapps exceptional support across onboarding, troubleshooting, and everything else—including making warm introductions to other builders and Linea projects as needed.

Public Goods Funding: Linea will develop a program that will support the builders making web3 better and providing public infrastructure. We recognize the importance of individuals and teams contributing towards the common good of a more decentralized internet, especially regarding open-source programming.

Technical Excellence: Linea delivers 100% EVM bytecode compatibility, an innovative zero-knowledge prover technology, rapid transactions, gas fees orders of magnitude lower than mainnet, as well as ensures the availability of all major infrastructure and development tools—to enable dapps to build seamlessly with excellent UX.

Bitcoin is one of the most fascinating ecosystems that one can find in the financial world. With constant developments and innovations, the Bitcoin network attracts huge amounts of talent and developers. And since Bitcoin is open-source, anyone can join and do with Bitcoin what they like, which was ever since its inception one of the key positives connected to Bitcoin. It however seems that the recent situation connected to Bitcoin fees, transaction times, NFTs, or the whole scaling solution of the Bitcoin network is splitting the community into different camps. While the first one is happy with the development as it leads to more creativity and bigger profits for miners, the second is considering this a waste of time, space and potential of Bitcoin. In this article, we will present key information connected to the current congestion of the Bitcoin network, its possible solutions and future development, as well as the whole debate surrounding this rather controversial, but very hot, topic. What do you need to know? Before we go into specifics of the current situation on Bitcoin, it might be best to look over some of the crucial specifics and terminologies. Memory pool size (mempool): represents the queue of pending valid transactions that are waiting to be added to blocks, often measured in vbytes. BRC-20 tokens: new token standard on Bitcoin that is helping with adoption and creation of NFTs on Bitcoin via Ordinals. To put it very simply, transacting on Bitcoin right now might not be the best option. The network is currently clogged due to huge amounts of NFTs being minted right on Bitcoin. This is something that has become popular after the Ordinals “entered” the Bitcoin world at the end of January this year. However, current developments have allowed for more and more NFTs being easily created on Bitcoin, which has led to some unexpected side effects.
