đSWIFT explores Linea: blockchain enters the big leagues
The SWIFT network, the backbone of global interbank payments, is testing the integration of Linea, an Ethereum Layer 2 solution developed by Consensys.
đ Objective: facilitate international transfers via smart contracts while complying with the strict standards of the banking sector.
Why Linea?
- zkEVM Technology: enhanced privacy through zero-knowledge proofs
- Ethereum Compatibility: seamless integration with the existing ecosystem
- Scalability: processing massive volumes without congestion
đŠ Giants like BNP Paribas and BNY Mellon are participating in the pilot.
đŹ #SWIFT is even considering an interbank stablecoin to automate settlements.
đ This test marks a key milestone: blockchain is no longer an outsider, it is becoming a strategic infrastructure for traditional finance.
