#linea $LINEA @Linea.eth What is Linea?

Linea is a zkEVM (Zero-Knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine) Layer 2 network developed by ConsenSys (the company behind the famous Ethereum wallet MetaMask and the development framework Infura).

You can understand it as:

Goal: To solve the problems of congestion, slow transaction speeds, and high fees on the Ethereum mainnet.

Technology: It uses zkRollup technology. It processes a large number of transactions off-chain in a 'bundled' manner, generating a cryptographic proof (zero-knowledge proof), which is then submitted to the Ethereum mainnet for verification. This ensures that Linea has the same level of security as Ethereum while significantly increasing throughput and reducing costs.

Compatibility: As a zkEVM, it is fully compatible with Ethereum. This means that developers can easily deploy their smart contracts and applications (DApps) from Ethereum directly onto Linea with almost no code modifications.
