2024 came in with optimism we might be pulling out of a bear market, and it’s going out with excited visions of bulls strapping on rockets bound for the moon or another galaxy.

Congratulations to the European and Latin American winners of the Crypto Holiday Challenge! We love what’s coming in from you about your experiences using MetaMask Card!

This week on Linea was big as we welcomed Aave and the full power of defi to the network. Cashback rewards started flowing to MetaMask Card users, ENS shared the future of rollups and devs kept cooking. Here’s a quick run down in this print version of the weekly Sequencer:

$TRUMP may be the memecoin to end all memecoins, or it may be the meme to create a new fusion of politics, culture and economics. It’s impossible to know, but whatever happens you can now enjoy the ride on Linea.

AI Agents and specifically AI crypto agents are on the rise and making their way to Linea. Now it's your turn to contribute and build your own version of AI on the world’s home network. We'll be offering hackathons on this subject throughout the year, starting with the hackathon we're organizing with Safe from February 3 to 14.

Note: TOAD AI is a community project on Linea, supported by Ape Accelerator.

Today marks an important step forward in more closely aligning the growth and use of USDe with $ENA. Ethena will begin to gradually introduce more functional utility for $ENA within the Ethena ecosystem, starting with the launch of a generalized staking capability for $ENA.

Starting with our launch in January, Renzo has unlocked native restaking on 7 networks and has been the first restaking protocol to introduce both native ETH and LST deposits, with stETH and wBETH comprising $110m+ of the TVL within 2 weeks of launch.
