Linea — Acceleration Layer for Ethereum
Every cycle of change in the crypto world eventually comes back to Ethereum. While numerous trends flare up and then fade away, Ethereum remains the center — the gathering place for the strongest developer community, the oldest verified smart contracts, and the most abundant liquidity. But Ethereum has a clear limitation: it excels in its role as a payment layer and a trust guarantee, but it struggles to bear the entire weight of global-scale operations by itself. And Linea has changed the way I think about scaling — not by replacing Ethereum, but by amplifying it.
When I truly experienced it, I found that Linea doesn’t try to “do differently” but makes it more seamless. Everything is familiar: contracts, wallets, tools, processes — all work just like on Ethereum. This makes the transition smooth. The greatest value lies not in the speed on the promotional slide, but in continuity — the factor that helps developers build products faster instead of having to relearn from scratch.
Linea takes a serious approach to zk-proof, not just as a trend. Zero-knowledge not only accelerates but also preserves verifiability — a more precise technical choice than a catchphrase. I believe in projects that choose technique over gimmicks.
What impresses me the most is that Linea still keeps ETH as a payment asset and the gas fee burn mechanism, closely tying its growth to Ethereum. Rather than separating value from the native platform, Linea becomes a natural extension — making Ethereum stronger, not fragmented.
