What is Linea?
Linea is a layer 2 using zkEVM technology developed by ConsenSys - the parent company of well-known projects in the market such as Metamask, Infura, Truffle…
The application of zkEVM (a Zk-Rollup solution fully compatible with EVM) will provide a better product development experience for developers.
The composability in this layer 2 will also be stronger thanks to the simulation of a structure similar to Ethereum (type 2 has more EVM compatibility than type 3,4), thereby helping DApps on Ethereum to easily migrate to the zk-Rollup chain without needing to modify much source code.
ConsenSys is a company with relatively strong influence in the market. In terms of the capital raised, it can be seen as having surpassed all other projects that also have products developed based on zkEVM technology such as zkSync, Scroll, Polygon zkEVM.
Among them, the right arm of this company is ConsenSys R&D, which has deep expertise in research on Rollup since 2019 and has since dedicated many resources to develop zkEVM type 2 in the following years to create the current layer 2 Linea.
