Whether you are a user, a startup, a dapp, or a member of the Linea team, this token will recognize and validate your commitment to Linea’s growth.</p><h3 id="h-what-are-the-benefits-of-lxp" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><strong>What are the benefits of LXP?</strong></h3><p>Voyage XP do not have any monetary value. Be cautious of scams: Voyage XP are non-transferable and not bridgeable to other networks. You cannot buy, sell, or swap them, nor can you accumulate them by transferring them from another wallet account.</p><p>Apart from being a measure of contribution to building Linea into a robust and secure L2 network, Voyage XP will also make owners eligible for benefits such as receiving official community roles, exclusive Linea swag, and more.</p><h3 id="h-how-do-i-claim-my-lxp" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><strong>How do I claim my LXP?</strong></h3><p>Linea launched LXP alongside the ongoing <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://www.intract.io/linea/">DeFi Voyage</a>.</p><p>While the DeFi Voyage is hosted on Intract, Voyagers must note that the XP shown on the Intract platform is a representation of Voyage XP. These XP collected by users and shown on Intract will be available for users to claim only after they successfully execute the Proof of Humanity (PoH) attestation through Verax.</p><p>The Linea team will retroactively allocate Voyage XP to users and dapps that participated in our prior two Voyages: the Testnet Voyage and the Entertainment Festival. The retroactive issuance will be tied to cryptographic evidence of these commitments, such as the Whitelist, Voyage NFT, Linea Gas Passes or Discord Roles obtained from these activations.</p><h3 id="h-is-lxp-different-from-intract-xp" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><strong>Is LXP different from Intract XP?</strong></h3><p>Yes. While the DeFi Voyage will be hosted on Intract, Voyagers must note that the XP shown on the Intract platform is a representation of Voyage XP. These XP collected by users and shown on Intract will be available for users to claim only after they successfully execute the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://www.intract.io/linea/quest/65705a282a20cd7291eb8e4b">Proof of Humanity (PoH) attestation through Verax</a>.</p><p>Please note that wallet account binding on Intract is also distinct from wallet account binding for LXP. To bind wallets for LXP, please do so at <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://linea.build/activations">https://linea.build/activations</a>. Read more about wallet account binding below.</p><h3 id="h-where-will-i-be-able-to-see-my-lxp" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><strong>Where will I be able to see my LXP?</strong></h3><p>​​After the successful presentation of PoH, Linea Voyage XP (or LXP) may be claimed.</p><p>Your LXP will be visible by default in the MetaMask wallet account which you have been using across Linea Voyage activations. More on this in the wallet account management section.</p><h2 id="h-proof-of-humanity-poh-and-wallet-account-management" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><strong>Proof of Humanity (PoH) and Wallet Account Management</strong></h2><p>Note: Voyage XP are NON-TRANSFERABLE. This means that once XP are collected in a wallet account, they cannot be moved. It is therefore crucial to accumulate Voyage XP in one account throughout the Linea Voyage to accurately measure your contribution to the growth of the Linea network.</p><h3 id="h-how-does-poh-work" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><strong>How does PoH work?</strong></h3><p>Voyage XP can only be minted on accounts that can prove human ownership. This is typically done by examining your account’s historical data across multiple chains.</p><p>Users will then be able to carry out the PoH process through any of their preferred identity partners through the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://www.intract.io/linea/quest/65705a282a20cd7291eb8e4b">PoH Wave Page</a> on the DeFi Voyage.</p><h3 id="h-how-do-i-carry-out-my-poh-for-the-linea-defi-voyage" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><strong>How do I carry out my PoH for the Linea DeFi Voyage?</strong></h3><p>To carry out PoH for DeFi Voyage, you must get on-chain attestations from available partners. Available partners can be viewed directly on the DeFi Voyage <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://www.intract.io/linea/quest/65705a282a20cd7291eb8e4b">PoH Wave Page</a>. More specifically, you will need to obtain:</p><ul><li><p>One valid attestation from a Group A provider of your choice</p></li><li><p>Two valid attestations from a Group B provider of your choice</p></li></ul><h3 id="h-what-are-group-a-and-group-b-in-the-context-of-poh-providers" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><strong>What are Group A and Group B in the context of PoH providers?</strong></h3><p>Group A are high assurance PoH attestation providers, meaning their methods are highly resistant to bots and sybils. Group B comprises methods that give lower assurance of humanity, allowing users to prove things like owning a Twitter account or having a certain amount of activity on GitHub.</p><h3 id="h-i-have-obtained-my-attestations-what-do-i-do-now" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><strong>I have obtained my attestations. What do I do now?</strong></h3><p>If you have already obtained your attestations, visit the DeFi Voyage <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://www.intract.io/linea/quest/65705a282a20cd7291eb8e4b">PoH Wave Page</a>, click “Complete your Verax verification” and then “Start verification”. Allow up to 60 minutes for verification to be performed.</p><h3 id="h-how-can-i-ensure-poh-success" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><strong>How can I ensure PoH success?</strong></h3><p>If you engage with the Linea Voyage using a new account, distinguishing your activity from that of a bot will be challenging, making Proof of Humanity more complex.</p><p>We recommend designating your main account as the “primary account” for the Linea Voyage, and accumulating your Voyage XP there. This approach simplifies the PoH process and offers the best user experience.</p><p>We understand that using your primary account may not always be practical or secure. Therefore, the Linea team developed a way to bind multiple accounts on <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://linea.build/activations">linea.build</a>.</p><h3 id="h-how-do-i-bind-my-accounts" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><strong>How do I bind my accounts?</strong></h3><p>On <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://linea.build/activations">linea.build</a>, you should be able to connect and set up your primary account, which must pass PoH through the Verax registry, and then designate a series of ‘secondary accounts’. These are alternative accounts that you may use across activations. Once the accounts are bound, any XP intended for your secondary accounts will be minted on your primary account.</p><p>Before binding an account, however, it is important to note that <strong>binding is an irreversible action</strong>. Once a secondary account is bound, XP will automatically accumulate in your primary account and your secondary account moving forward will not collect any XP. So consider carefully before binding!</p><p>Once the accounts are bound, Voyagers are free to engage with activations using any wallet account, including those on embedded wallets.</p><h3 id="h-do-i-need-to-execute-poh-before-claiming-xp" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><strong>Do I need to execute PoH before claiming XP?</strong></h3><p>Yes, PoH is a requisite for claiming or receiving XP. This protocol is integrated to ensure that genuine users receive the maximum long-term benefits associated with Linea Voyage XP.</p><h3 id="h-is-there-a-limited-time-to-execute-poh-before-xp-is-allocated" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><strong>Is there a limited time to execute PoH before XP is allocated?</strong></h3><p>XP distribution occurs on an ad hoc basis. Participants in the DeFi Voyage are required to complete PoH within the designated PoH wave timeframe, which extends from December 06 to December 19. This is crucial for ensuring that users have finalized the PoH process to claim and receive XP.</p><p>Note: Participants of previous activations, such as The Testnet Voyage and the Entertainment Festival, must adhere to specific guidelines related to PoH completion for those festivals.The goal is to PoH the wallet accounts, not to duplicate user tasks.</p><h3 id="h-do-i-need-to-execute-poh-before-binding-accounts" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><strong>Do I need to execute PoH before binding accounts?</strong></h3><p>No, wallet account binding is a separate process aimed at allowing users with multiple accounts to accumulate XP efficiently. This process is independent of the PoH completion.</p><h3 id="h-do-i-need-to-complete-wallet-account-binding-before-xp-is-allocated" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><strong>Do I need to complete wallet account binding before XP is allocated?</strong></h3><p>If you want XP accumulated in a secondary account, to be minted in your primary account, you have to complete the binding before the XP minting process starts for a specific activation. Otherwise your XP will be minted to your secondary account, assuming there&apos;s a valid proof of humanity linked to it.</p><h3 id="h-is-there-a-limited-time-to-bind-accounts-before-xp-is-allocated" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><strong>Is there a limited time to bind accounts before XP is allocated?</strong></h3><p>Yes, once the minting process starts, XP will be assigned to whatever wallet participated in the activations, unless the account has been bound to a separate primary account. This means that users who want to mint XP on different (Primary) accounts than the one used to participate in the activations (Secondary), must bind wallet accounts before the minting process starts.</p><h3 id="h-if-i-have-passed-poh-before-do-i-have-to-do-it-again" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><strong>If I have passed PoH before, do I have to do it again?</strong></h3><p>No, once PoH is associated with a specific wallet account, it remains valid as long as you continue using that account. However, if you create and use a new account not linked to your main account, you will need to complete PoH again.</p><h3 id="h-if-i-have-passed-poh-do-i-need-to-pay-a-fee-or-execute-activity-to-keep-it-updated" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><strong>If I have passed PoH, do I need to pay a fee or execute activity to keep it updated?</strong></h3><p>No, there are no additional fees or specific activities required to maintain your PoH status. However, you must confirm these details with the attestation provider.</p><h3 id="h-can-i-complete-poh-in-any-country-are-any-countries-excluded" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><strong>Can I complete PoH in any country? Are any countries excluded?</strong></h3><p>PoH completion depends on the attestors involved in the attestation process. While Verax acts merely as a registry for these attestations, the completion process is subject to the rules and regulations of the attestation partners, which may vary.</p><h3 id="h-will-i-need-to-provide-id-for-poh-will-my-personal-data-be-made-available-on-chain-how-will-my-data-be-kept-safe-and-secure" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><strong>Will I need to provide ID for PoH? Will my personal data be made available on-chain? How will my data be kept safe and secure?</strong></h3><p>Direct personal information is not stored on-chain. It is crucial to verify the type of information retained in the registry with the attestation provider to ensure data security.</p><h3 id="h-how-important-is-twitter-for-poh-what-if-my-twitter-has-been-hacked-or-banned" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><strong>How important is Twitter for PoH? What if my Twitter has been hacked or banned?</strong></h3><p>The role of Twitter in the PoH process varies based on the specific attestation method chosen from a provider. If you lack access to a Twitter account required for a particular attestation, alternative options should be explored. There are various attestation methods available, and it&apos;s recommended to review the options provided by attestation providers to decide the best course of action for completing PoH.</p><h3 id="h-what-are-sybil-attacks-will-human-verification-prevent-these" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><strong>What are sybil attacks? Will human verification prevent these?</strong></h3><p>In the context of our ecosystem and for this specific purpose, a Sybil attack refers to the misuse of automated bots (Sybils) to unjustly accumulate XP, detracting from the rewards intended for genuine users. Our objective is to maximize the XP distribution to real users who contribute to the growth of the Linea network. Human verification plays a critical role in this by ensuring that only authentic users benefit from the XP system, thereby preventing the prevalence of Sybil attacks.</p><h3 id="h-how-does-human-verification-align-with-the-principle-of-decentralization" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><strong>How does human verification align with the principle of decentralization?</strong></h3><p>Decentralization manifests in various forms within our ecosystem. For our objectives, fostering a network dominated by authentic users is essential. Human verification is a pivotal step towards ensuring a robust user base that actively participates in and shapes the future of the Layer 2 (L2) and the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem. It is a foundational element in maintaining the integrity and growth of a decentralized network by validating real user engagement.</p>]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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.</p><p>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 from conventional on-chain data practices, PADO introduces a secure and trustless method for transferring diverse data types to decentralized networks.</p><p>Individuals can leverage PADO for direct data migration, facilitated by a user-friendly Chrome extension that streamlines the generation of proofs for a wide range of data, including KYC (know-your-customer) status, central exchange balances, banking account balances, credit scores, and much more. The possibilities are expansive, limited only by your imagination. PADO opens up a realm of data resources for exploration and utilization.</p><h2 id="h-the-uniqueness-of-pado" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><strong>The Uniqueness of PADO</strong></h2><p>PADO empowers end users to verify the authenticity of data obtained through the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. As TLS is widely deployed across the internet, users can effectively validate various internet data. The innovative cryptographic protocol at the core of this mechanism is known as garble-then-prove, designed by the PADO cryptography team.</p><p>Leveraging multi-party computation (MPC) with state-of-the-art VOLE-based Interactive Zero-Knowledge Proofs (IZK), also developed by the PADO cryptography team, ensures the entire solution remains light enough to operate in browsers. The protocol also operates more than 10x faster than existing solutions.</p><p>PADO has also created a lightweight tool that lets users selectively disclose and prove any statement related to the authenticated data by incorporating popular zkSNARKs algorithms. For further details, please refer to our <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://eprint.iacr.org/2023/964.pdf">technical paper</a>.</p><p>To enhance user experience and alleviate their computation burden, the PADO cryptography team is introducing an innovative Verifiable Outsourcing Computation Network by developing efficient zkFHE schemes. In this network, users have the capability to outsource private data encrypted under Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) schemes to trustless workers. These workers handle the computational tasks on the ciphertext and produce a succinct proof that allows anyone to verify the integrity of the computation. This novel protocol is expected to be much faster than the native combination of FHE and ZKVM, and is currently in active development by the PADO team.</p><h2 id="h-pados-use-cases" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><strong>PADO’s Use Cases</strong></h2><p>There are several potential applications for PADO. For instance, PADO is at the forefront of enhancing privacy and security by integrating its off-chain data hooks on <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://youtu.be/qwtJOwM1Hf8?si=BJOYefA_NRMcPFSL">Uniswap v4</a>. These protocols typically involve establishing a compliant and institutional pool for users possessing verifiable physical identities, and the provision of a transaction fee discount for individuals with a trading history from centralized exchanges. These innovative combinations introduce a novel degree of customization and privacy to future DeFi protocols.</p><p>PADO can also be used by users concerned about privacy while engaging in social networking and gaming activities in web3. They can use PADO to safely share their behaviour data from the Steam platform, and to earn prop airdrops from GameFi projects without worrying about potential privacy leakage or misuse.</p><p>Finally, PADO’s zkAttestation technology allows real-world financial assets such as stocks, bonds, precious metals, and real estate to be encrypted and quantified for secure asset management and circulation of RWA assets on the smart contract layer.</p><h2 id="h-pado-and-linea" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><strong>PADO and Linea</strong></h2><p>Since its inception, PADO has received attention and support from various organizations, including grants from the Ethereum Foundation to build interactive zero-knowledge systems; and participation in the first cohort of the Consensys Fellowship and the Berkeley Blockchain Xcelerator program.</p><p>PADO is crucial in transitioning from the conventional centralized web to a blockchain-enhanced, value-centric internet, utilizing innovative technologies to offer a comprehensive solution for secure, trustless, and comprehensive data attestation and verifiable outsourcing computation network.</p><p>PADO is delighted to join the Linea ecosystem and become a core contributor to <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://linea.mirror.xyz/LlLx7IytwRYWQbLlxHr6zoUZjqNQdQ5P95zo3Dcilb0">Verax</a>. Introducing more valuable data into Linea and collaborating with other ecosystem participants is very important to PADO.</p><p>Follow PADO on <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://twitter.com/padolabs">Twitter</a> for all the latest updates.

XFAI aims to revolutionize the Decentralized Finance (DeFi) landscape.  XFAI is not just another Uniswap fork, it’s a unique architecture with a brand-new set of features.</p><p>XFAI is creating a reputation within the Linea network for having the lowest gas fees of any DEX on Linea. They have attracted over $2M in total value locked (TVL), comprising over 6% of Linea’s total DeFi TVL. This includes the largest wrapped Bitcoin (wBTC) TVL across the chain.</p><p>Traders often choose XFAI for their DeFi swap tasks on Linea, and it seems to be a promising option for users in the liquidity provision wave tasks. XFAI’s concentrated liquidity (and thus removal of token pairs and fragmented liquidity, resulting in concentrated fees for LPs) make it an attractive option for liquidity providers as LPs can earn higher fees per volume capita when using XFAI than other DEXs.</p><p>With the overwhelming success of the Linea DeFi Voyage so far, Linea is already positioning itself to be the new home for DeFi.</p><p>XFAI&apos;s groundbreaking exchange, offering minimal slippage for swaps and better trading returns.</p><h1 id="h-introducing-xfai" class="text-4xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><strong>Introducing XFAI</strong></h1><p>XFAI is the brainchild of brothers Lum and Taulant Ramabaja, who are renowned and accredited in Artificial Intelligence and decentralized systems. They are supported by core team members hailing from successful projects such as Parity Tech, Polkadot, Synthetix and Ecomi, and backed by AU21 Capital, Rarestone Capital, Moonwhale, Tokenomik, LD Capital, TDeFi, Fission Capital, Kyros Ventures and Vendetta Capital.</p><p>XFAI is the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://xfai.com/whitepaper.pdf">mathematically most capital-efficient DEX</a> and aims to be the pinnacle of trading on the Linea ecosystem, boasting an entirely new innovative DEX architecture that:</p><ul><li><p>Eliminates fragmented liquidity</p></li><li><p>Enables better swap results with minimal slippage</p></li><li><p>Offers the lowest gas fees for swapping on all of Linea</p></li><li><p>Gives better returns for LPs</p></li><li><p>Ensures better token liquidity for projects</p></li><li><p>Has less set-up costs for projects</p></li><li><p>All while remaining completely permissionless</p></li></ul><p>An overview of the benefits of XFAI and the problems with existing DEX designs that it solves.</p><h1 id="h-an-exchange-like-no-other-xfais-unique-trading-approach" class="text-4xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><strong>An Exchange Like No Other: XFAI’s Unique Trading Approach</strong></h1><p>XFAI transforms traditional trading norms by introducing a double-weighted constant market maker design, eliminating the need for multiple token pairs.</p><p>When pools are created on XFAI, liquidity providers commit the primary token they want to supply and an equal value of ETH to be used as the balancing weight. The result is that liquidity for each token is concentrated into its own deep pool, resulting in more efficient swaps with minimal slippage, and eliminating liquidity fragmentation into different pools. As a result, XFAI is more performant than exchanges like Uniswap even with a small percentage of the liquidity proportionally, and XFAI’s performance grows exponentially as liquidity increases.</p><p>On Uniswap and similar DEXs, token liquidity is fragmented into multiple token pairings which often have low liquidity, whereas on XFAI all tokens have their own unique pool.</p><p>This unique design also introduces several other standout benefits for traders on Linea, the first of these being that every token is directly swappable without the need for intermediaries. For example, if you want to swap between tokens on Uniswap that didn’t have direct pairings then you would have to do two swaps in the background. Compare this with XFAI’s double-weighted model, where every token acts as if they were directly paired with every other token, meaning that direct swaps between tokens can all happen in one smooth motion which minimizes slippage. This culminates in the best trading results possible, meaning more money in your wallet at the end of a swap.</p><p>On Uniswap and similar DEXs, Token X would be swapped for ETH, which would then get swapped for Token Y. On XFAI, Token X can be swapped directly for Token Y.</p><h1 id="h-promising-returns-for-liquidity-providers" class="text-4xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><strong>Promising Returns for Liquidity Providers</strong></h1><p>XFAI&apos;s design provides lucrative opportunities for liquidity providers (LPs). Unlike other DEXs where LPs often face negative returns, XFAI&apos;s approach allows LPs to earn profits by providing liquidity. Traders earn fees every time a swap occurs with the primary token they have supplied, yielding more impressive returns.</p><p>Regarding fees, XFAI excels in the earning opportunities available to LPs, due to the nature of XFAI’s concentrated liquidity pools.</p><p>When traders swap tokens on an exchange, LPs earn swap fees. On exchanges like Uniswap, LPs would earn fees for whenever their provided liquidity is traded. However, because liquidity is fragmented into different pools, traders only earn fees when their specific pool is transacted against.</p><p>With XFAI it’s a different story. As liquidity for each token sits in one singular deep pool traders earn fees every time a swap happens with the primary token that they have provided, meaning more fees and liquidity provisioning opportunities that result in profit.</p><p>On Uniswap and similar DEXs, LPs only earn fees for the specific pairing of liquidity they provided, whereas, on XFAI, LPs earn fees every time their primary token is traded.</p><h1 id="h-optimal-liquidity-solutions-for-linea" class="text-4xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><strong>Optimal Liquidity Solutions For Linea</strong></h1><p>In addition to the benefits for traders and LPs, XFAI’s approach offers advantages to projects on Linea. Traditional DEXs require projects to create multiple liquidity pools, fragmenting their liquidity. In contrast, XFAI allows projects to create one liquidity pool, lowering start-up costs, improving liquidity for their token and facilitating more viable swaps.</p><p>XFAI&apos;s performance as a simulation, with XFAI having just 10% of the liquidity of a token on Uniswap, XFAI would yield a better swap deal in 55.44% of trade instances, increasing as XFAI&apos;s liquidity increases.</p><p>XFAI also plans to introduce liquidity generation events for projects, allowing projects on Linea to bootstrap communities by offering token rewards for committing funds converted into liquidity, further deepening their token pool and making swaps even more performant.</p><h1 id="h-linea-the-home-for-xfai" class="text-4xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><strong>Linea: The Home for XFAI</strong></h1><p>XFAI is a Linea-exclusive project and chose Linea as its home chain due to its next-generation scalability and advanced performance as a leading zkEVM. Linea’s wealth of experience, backed by Consensys and championed by MetaMask, makes Linea a clear choice for XFAI. Linea seems set to drive the next wave of adoption through its technical capabilities and rich network of credible partners. XFAI is incredibly excited to work alongside Linea to usher in the mass adoption of DeFi.</p>]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Account abstraction (AA) will change how users interact with decentralized applications (dapps). Timeless, Pimlico, Web3 Analytic and Linea have joined forces to power the AA wave of Linea’s DeFi Voyage to pave the way for wider adoption.</p><p>Account abstraction increases flexibility in the management and behavior of Ethereum accounts by introducing <strong>account contracts</strong>: special-purpose smart contracts that define and manage a user’s Ethereum account, also known as smart accounts (SA).</p><h2 id="h-the-challenge-at-hand" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><strong>The Challenge at Hand</strong></h2><p>User experience (UX) challenges in web3 come in the form of problematic account recovery and transaction fees that prevent widespread adoption. Account abstraction and smart accounts (SA) enable better UX, but are still early in their adoption cycles. One of their key features is enabling dapps to pay for users’ transaction fees (gas) to make using on-chain products simpler.</p><p>While this improves UX, it also transfers the cost of transaction fees from users to applications. This is a significant change. While the cost of each transaction is low, they can become high, very quickly, if dapps sponsor all transactions. For example, in 2023 YTD, transaction fees on Ethereum alone were $2.2B.</p><p>Gas sponsorship could become the next version of untargeted airdrops - an out-of-control user acquisition cost with terrible payback. In the Linea Voyage, we evaluate how it can be used as an ROI-based user acquisition cost.</p><h2 id="h-a-unified-vision-to-improve-ux-in-web3" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><strong>A Unified Vision to Improve UX in Web3</strong></h2><p>Timeless, Linea, Web3 Analytic and Pimlico are working together to demonstrate the potential of account abstraction. This collaboration spans the entire spectrum, from the underlying Linea network to user-facing applications (<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://mirror.xyz/timelesswallet.eth/0U8C8PvqssbUO8fPk77A9psjMxv1D9JY6odPE_h6kl4">Timeless X</a>), infrastructure (<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://www.pimlico.io/">Pimlico</a>), and user targeting (<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://twitter.com/web3analytic">Web3 Analytic</a>). This unified approach is set to ignite account abstraction usage, fostering sustainable growth of smart accounts and gas sponsorship.</p><h3 id="h-individual-contributions" class="text-2xl font-header !mt-6 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><strong>Individual Contributions</strong></h3><p><strong>Timeless: User Interface and Experience</strong></p><p>Developed through a strategic partnership, Timeless introduces Timeless X (<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/timeless-x/id6470180600">iOS</a>; <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xyz.timelesswallet.aa">Android</a>), a social account abstraction wallet that combines self-custodial security with convenient social features. Its goal is to enhance user experience by making web3 invisible – so integrated and smooth that the underlying technology is not even noticed. Timeless X emulates the ease and familiarity of web2 applications, making web3 more accessible for all.</p><p><strong>Pimlico: Infrastructure Powerhouse</strong></p><p>Pimlico is the backbone, providing infrastructure components like bundlers and paymasters, powering the fast and reliable relaying and sponsoring of transactions originating from smart accounts. Its role is pivotal in enhancing the functionality of ERC-4337 compatible wallets, thereby smoothing the user journey in this new AA paradigm.</p><p><strong>Web3 Analytic: User Targeting for Gas Sponsorship</strong></p><p>Web3 Analytic is the targeting engine for gas sponsorship. They turn gas sponsorship into a marketing tool using on-chain data and adaptive algorithms for precise user targeting and ROI analysis. Their tools have other applications like DDOS prevention in gas sponsorship.</p><h2 id="h-the-future-of-account-abstraction-on-linea-and-beyond" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><strong>The Future of Account Abstraction on Linea and Beyond</strong></h2><p>Account abstraction and gas sponsorship allow us to improve web3 user experience by orders of magnitude. Join us on our journey to make smart accounts the dominant wallet type, creating a virtuous cycle of reduced transaction complexity and user costs, and new marketing tools, attracting more users, increasing retention and nurturing sustainable ecosystem growth.</p>]]></content:encoded>

Also, they acquainted themselves with various crypto assets, including stablecoins, liquid staking tokens, and real-world assets.</p><p>We walked through <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://linea.mirror.xyz/K3nb4w-O_7fLa2399qIChQkeUpxn5OeRQRtzaIjhf7s">how to swap tokens</a>, how smart contracts work behind the scenes, what the critical terms around swapping mean (such as liquidity and liquidity pools), and how to protect against the risks of token swapping.</p><h2 id="h-wave-4-lending-and-borrowing" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><strong>Wave 4: Lending and Borrowing</strong></h2><p>During wave 4, Voyagers explored how to interact with DeFi money markets. They discovered that these markets offer traditional finance tools like interest and liquidity, supercharged with the power of decentralization.</p><p>We prepped Voyagers to take on more advanced transactions by navigating <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://linea.mirror.xyz/uk5c27ZQQKkeTnu6UmVmdx9bKVDlKVxdgG0TG0rUGs0">how lending and borrowing work in DeFi</a>, the key terms you need to know, and the associated risks and benefits.</p><h2 id="h-wave-5-liquidity-provision-and-yield-farming" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><strong>Wave 5: Liquidity Provision and Yield Farming</strong></h2><p>Here’s where complexity ramped up. For wave 5, Voyagers explore liquidity provision and yield farming by providing liquidity on selected pairs on Linea DEXs. By providing assets as liquidity, particularly for decentralized exchanges (DEXs), users bolster the ecosystem that enables swaps and other financial activities.</p><p>To prepare, we explored <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://linea.mirror.xyz/-cE0So15Ho5j9Wh9fzAA-ptfjAiTH0V1sZ6STXKYFps">how liquidity provision and yield farming work</a>, their risks, and how you can more safely use these tools to participate in DeFi.</p><h2 id="h-wave-6-proof-of-humanity" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><strong>Wave 6: Proof-of-Humanity</strong></h2><p>Wave 6 was focused on human verification. We asked Voyagers to prove their humanity and identity with <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://linea.mirror.xyz/LlLx7IytwRYWQbLlxHr6zoUZjqNQdQ5P95zo3Dcilb0">Verax</a>, an on-chain attestation registry that works like a trust and reputation scoring system.</p><p>Verax allows for maintaining a public canon of data from which we can derive reputation. We can apply various reputation protocols to the data to derive a subjective level of trust in unknown issuers of attestations. In these cases, we are not trusting the issuer of the credential/attestation directly, but rather the reputation that we can establish based on the data available on-chain.</p><p>Please note that even though the DeFi Voyage has ended, Voyagers must complete Proof of Humanity for their accounts on <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://ver.ax/#/linea-poh">https://ver.ax/#/linea-poh</a> to be eligible to collect their LXP.

DeFi’s distinctive features are often called &quot;stackable money legos,&quot; signifying a flexible and modular nature. This allows for the creation and combination of new functionalities, a stark contrast to traditional finance. DeFi hasn&apos;t just replicated existing financial products but introduces new paradigms that were previously unfeasible.</p><p>To prepare Voyagers to take on wave 7, we walked through <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://linea.mirror.xyz/W2N2mLddsJ3uvOzDAqJWxAUn2hX1P5c3HhNikfhmkI8">popular complex trading products</a>, how they work, their uses and risks, and examples of these products on Linea.</p><h2 id="h-wave-8-socialfi" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><strong>Wave 8: SocialFi</strong></h2><p>We shifted to decentralized social during wave 8! Voyagers explored SocialFi on Linea by minting an NFT that catalogued each Voyager’s 2023 journey on the Linea network and getting acquainted with <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://linea.mirror.xyz/Dn3-ktmZ-e3v4nZtrZTI7iS-pF8bnolfBJQAUDQ-jto">Tomo</a>.

These are similar to dapps in that they are built on top of blockchain technology, and promote decentralization, security, and transparency. However, SuperDapps offers unique features and an enhanced user experience. They also operate at a larger scale by leveraging multiple blockchain ecosystems and superior smart contract functionalities.</p><p>Some web3 wallets are SuperDapps and act as a powerful gateway to DeFi. They offer advanced functionalities such as dapp browser plug-ins; advanced security measures such as multi-sig, encrypted key storage, cross-chain support, and enhanced privacy measures. Each feature makes for a well-rounded user experience that can be a decisive factor when bringing the next billion users to DeFi and web3.</p><h2 id="h-wave-10-account-abstraction" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><strong>Wave 10: Account Abstraction</strong></h2><p>And finally, we come to account abstraction! For this wave, Voyagers experienced how account abstraction upgrades the web3 dapp user experience and eliminates the need for convoluted secret recovery phrases, tricky transactions, and high gas fees. Voyagers used <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://linea.mirror.xyz/j8FslOzH_Bj27VZrWOwChdmnTFcWanU5MkT1SNhUZnQ">Timeless Wallet</a> to execute swaps, liquidity provision, and borrowing across DeFi dapps.</p><p>To prepare, we dove into <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://linea.mirror.xyz/OlFKZjfozCrlX6zbkOLFwMUcX0K3nU__y9NHgvdsGik">what account abstraction means</a>, how it works, and some of the major UX advances it makes possible. We also looked at two of the most immediate improvements: transaction sponsoring and paymasters, in greater detail and examined how they have been implemented on Linea.</p><h2 id="h-the-linea-defi-voyage-an-ecosystem-success" class="text-3xl font-header !mt-8 !mb-4 first:!mt-0 first:!mb-0"><strong>The Linea DeFi Voyage: An Ecosystem Success</strong></h2><p>Linea’s DeFi Voyage has undoubtedly been a tremendous success, thanks to the Voyagers!
