When it comes to Linea, everyone is certainly familiar with it. It's not an exaggeration to say it is the darling of ConsenSys, backed by Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin, making it a project born with a golden spoon.
Its positioning is very clear: to be the most developer-friendly ZK Layer2.
While other ZK L2s are still struggling with how to be compatible with EVM, Linea comes straight out and claims to be fully EVM equivalent.
What does this mean?
1. Zero-cost migration: The code you write on Ethereum can be moved to Linea without any changes.
2. Comprehensive toolset: The tools that developers rely on the most, like MetaMask, Infura, and Besu, are all ConsenSys' own, seamlessly integrated, providing an enhanced development experience.
Technically, it doesn't hold back (Vortex SNARK + homomorphic encryption), and for user experience, it uses ETH as Gas, even creating a dual-burn model for $LINEA .
Looking at it this way, Linea's path is very stable. It does not pursue the most radical or flashy innovations; what it seeks is a compliant, secure, and scalable ZK Layer2. This clearly aims at institutions and large-scale applications.
