Linea is a scalable Layer 2 (L2) solution for Ethereum, based on zero-disclosure proof-of-concept (ZK-Rollup) technology and fully compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). This innovative platform is developed by Consensys (creators of the popular Metamask wallet, as well as the Infura, PegaSys, and Codefi projects).

The project is focused on building brand new Web3 projects without sacrificing security and does not require traditional Ethereum developers to learn new technologies. Linea allows developers to deploy any smart contract, use any tool, and develop as if you were building on Ethereum. For users, it gives the experience and security guarantees of Ethereum, but at a lower cost.

ZK-Rollup combines hundreds of transactions into one instead of sending them one at a time, thereby reducing the amount of information transferred and offloading the core network. It also allows user data to be processed without revealing their personal information.

Funding:

Developer Consensys has raised more than $715 million over the past few years to grow its ecosystem.

• 04/13/2021 closed a $65M round from JPMorgan, Mastercard, UBS and others to accelerate the adoption of DeFi and Web3 applications on the Ethereum network;

• 11/17/2021 closed a $200M funding round with a company valuation of $3.2B. Investors include: HSBC, Coinbase Ventures and Marshall Wace;

• 03/15/2022 closed a $450 million Series D round with a $7 billion valuation. ParaFi Capital led the funding round, investors include: Temasek, SoftBank Second Venture Fund, Microsoft, Anthos Capital, Sound Ventures, C Ventures and others.

About the token:

Linea has great potential due to ConsenSys expertise and their influence in the crypto industry. Metamask is the most used wallet that has already integrated Linea's network second after Ethereum. The L2 trend is gaining momentum and Linea will not miss its market share with this investment. To unify the whole ecosystem, ConsenSys may issue its own token to integrate it into the wallet and other products.
