## 🚀 Linea: Scaling Ethereum with zkEVM

Linea is a Layer 2 solution for Ethereum developed by ConsenSys (creators of MetaMask). Its goal is to enhance scalability by offering much faster and cheaper transactions than on the Ethereum mainnet.

Key Technology: It uses a zkEVM Rollup (Zero-Knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine), which means it processes transactions off the main chain and sends cryptographic proofs of validity to Ethereum. This ensures security and integrity without sacrificing compatibility.

Tokenomics: The native token is LINEA. Its main function is not to pay for gas (ETH is used), but to incentivize ecosystem growth through rewards, grants, and support for projects. Additionally, it has a dual burn mechanism (ETH and LINEA) linked to the protocol's revenues.

Current Relevance: It is a strong player in the L2 ecosystem, focusing on institutional adoption (recent pilot with SWIFT) and has great potential due to its alignment with the ConsenSys and MetaMask ecosystem.

TL;DR: Linea is an L2 zkEVM that makes Ethereum faster and cheaper, with a token (LINEA) that drives its growing ecosystem.
