Your Life on Linea
The Home Network for the World The vision for Linea began seven years ago with deep research into zero-knowledge technology. Five years later, that research came to life with the launch of Linea’s testnet, followed by Linea’s Alpha mainnet, and the scaling of gaming, DeFi and NFT sectors In the 15 months since our mainnet launch, many of you have taken to dapps on Linea to buy, sell, swap, and stake; thousands have built non-stop to fulfill visions of new permissionless systems; others have found communities and grown their digital identity with memes and gaming; and as of recently

How to Build a Decentralized Voting Dapp on Linea
Blockchain and web3 have changed our understanding of transparency, trust and decentralization. One of the most incredible use-case for this technology is the development of web3 dapps (decentralized applications) that offers solutions that are secure, verifiable and tamper-proof solutions to our everyday challenges. Among all the use-cases, decentralized voting stands out. Decentralized technologies remove middlemen and ensure transparent vote counts, this voting dapp has the potential to change governance system while enhancing the democratic process In this tutorial, we will build a simple voting dapp on linea, a zkEVM layer 2 blockchain solution. You will learn how to write, deploy and interact with a smart contract which is designed for decentralized voting process. By the end of this tutorial, you’ll have a solid understanding of the tools and features provided by linea for decentralized applications Understanding the Voting Dapp Architecture

Subdomains on Efrogs Open the Floodgates for Amplified User Identity
With the launch of ENS on Linea last month, new frontiers are opening up for the ecosystem. Linea Name Service, a fork of Ethereum Name Service (ENS), allows users to register and manage subdomains for a fraction of the L1 gas price, working towards our goal of a user-friendly Ethereum. These subnames are fully compatible with ENS and can be used on any dapp or chain that supports ENS, with 350K registrations to date However, the applications don't stop there. The Linea ENS repository that was created to bring ENS to Linea has component libraries that can be applied in other contexts. The functionality of these associated components enables any L1 application to query L2 data using CCIP Read (ERC-3668), equipping developers for cross-chain retrieval and opening up up a range of use cases which we explored here

How To Make the Most of Your LGG Winnings
For 11 days, Lineans competed in the Linea Guild Games, entering the world of Unfettered Awakening, killing zombies, and doing their best to stay alive. On this journey, Lineans weren’t alone, accompanied by avatar companions representing the first four guilds: Efrogs, Foxy, FrogwifCat, and Linus. You may have even caught a live stream of our Linea team member and resident LGG legend Christopher, taking on the Chapter IX Finale The whole experience was made possible by Linea, Unfettered Ecosystem, Hyperplay, and Game7. Guilds and individuals competed for a total of $100,000 in ETH (to be distributed later this week) from Linea, $SOULS tokens from Unfettered Ecosystem, and various meme tokens supplied by each of the four guilds

Protecting Builders Everywhere: Web3 For All
Web3 is transforming the internet by empowering people with new kinds of personal, economic, and political agency. From decentralized finance, digital art, to self-sovereign identity and new forms of governance, every project, every innovation, is born from a belief in a better future Yet, despite the inclusive vision and technological innovation, web3 is currently under attack in the US. Reckless regulation for crypto is currently threatening to unplug US builders from web3 Now is the time to protect our industry and all the people and innovation behind it. Join us as we celebrate the people and the projects that make this technology worth fighting for. Today, we’re asking you to be part of the movement

Meet Linea’s Community Champions: The Volunteers Fostering Web3 Support
With almost 400,000 members, the Linea Discord is a center point of our web3 community. It’s the spot where fun, connection, feedback, questions, the good and the imperfect come together in a crazy melting pot Linea’s Discord moderators work their magic engaging and answering all the questions, queries, and quandaries users may have. But they’re not the only ones that keep the Linea Discord running. Once we cut through all the requisite friendly (and sometimes not-so-friendly) banter on Linea, we get to one of the other factors that establish Linea as a community: users helping users. Over the years, an especially generous group of volunteers have emerged: The Linea Champions This group is made up of Lineans who have dedicated their online lives to helping other users, and offering support and guidance from how to navigate their favorite dapps to onchain events they are participating in

Meet Rio: A Specialized Fuzzer for Linea’s Zero-Knowledge Infrastructure
Author: Valentin Wustholz Many Layer 2 (L2) blockchains, including Linea, rely on zero-knowledge (ZK) infrastructure. This infrastructure is highly complex ("moon math") and critical for the correct operation of these chains. In other words, even a single bug can result in catastrophic financial and reputational damage. Even though we have not seen a catastrophic incident in ZK-based L2s comparable to TheDAO hack in 2016, it requires great engineering discipline and rigorous testing to bulletproof such software components, given their inherent complexity Linea is well aware of this responsibility and highly prioritizes security. Currently, Linea works with over 20 security partners on threat prevention, real-time monitoring, post-incident tracing, user protection, and trust and reputation systems
