#linea $LINEA @Linea.eth

Linea is a next-generation Layer 2 scaling solution developed by ConsenSys, designed to enhance the Ethereum ecosystem by offering faster transactions, lower fees, and full compatibility with existing Ethereum applications. Built on zero-knowledge rollup (zk-rollup) technology, Linea represents a significant step forward in making Web3 more accessible, efficient, and user-friendly.

At its core, Linea works by batching large numbers of Ethereum transactions off-chain and then verifying them on the main Ethereum network using cryptographic proofs. This approach allows users to experience the security and decentralization of Ethereum while enjoying vastly reduced gas costs and near-instant transaction speeds. By leveraging zkEVM (zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine) technology, Linea maintains full equivalence with Ethereum smart contracts, tools, and wallets. Developers can deploy existing Solidity code without modifications, making migration effortless.
