Hello everyone, I am Sour Tamarind.
If you think carefully about one thing, you will suddenly understand:
The real problem with Ethereum is not 'insufficient speed.'
Its problem is 'insufficiently smooth experience.'
High Gas = Pain
Slow Confirmation = Pain
Complex Toolchain = Pain
User onboarding is cumbersome = Pain
On-chain interactions are hard to optimize = Pain
Development experience is not light enough = Pain
The problem with Ethereum is not performance, but experience.
What Linea is doing is:
Rebuild the experience layer of Ethereum.
① Linea is ETH's 'lightweight usage environment'
You will find:
Deployment is faster than ETH
Testing is easier than ETH
Debugging is clearer than ETH
Logs are cleaner than ETH
Costs are controllable compared to ETH
Withdrawals and bridging are smoother
It feels like:
Like ETH, but noticeably fresher.
It's like using Chrome instead of the early IE.
Same underlying, but the experience is worlds apart.
② The logic of Linea's experience is: retain the spirit of ETH, but eliminate all poor experiences
For example:
ETH:
Gas fluctuations are high
Transaction congestion during peak times
Execution is slow
High user attrition
Poor experience for newcomers
Linea:
Gas is stable
Speed is stable
Not congested
Toolchain is clear
Entry experience is excellent
In other words:
Linea does not change the soul of Ethereum, but changes the feel.
③ For developers, Linea is a 'no scare' chain
What developers fear the most:
Parameters change suddenly
Execution path is unstable
Toolchain suddenly has poor compatibility
Contract environments are not unified
Logs are unreliable
Network peak times directly explode
The philosophy of Linea is:
No surprises for developers, and no scares for developers.
It makes developers feel:
"I can deploy anytime without issues."
This experience cannot be replaced by TPS.
④ For users, Linea is a 'simplified version of ETH'
The user experience on Linea is:
Low fees
Transactions are fast
Wallet friendly
Bridge is stable
DApp loads quickly
No complex entry points
No inflated ecosystem
This is the experience that Ethereum should have but cannot achieve.
Linea has taken over the experience for ETH.
⑤ Linea's long-term value is not performance, but 'making Ethereum more like an App Store'
That is to say:
Users are unaware,
Developers are relaxed,
Protocols are easy to deploy.
Such an L2 could become the 'experience standard layer'.
Linea is becoming Ethereum's:
Developer Experience Layer (DX Layer)
User Experience Layer (UX Layer)
The experience layer is the layer with the highest long-term value.
What do you think is the biggest problem with ETH? Experience, cost, speed, or too complex entry?
