🚨 Yield Boost is now officially live on Linea. We're converting idle bridged ETH into sustainable ecosystem liquidity: → Without new tokens → Without rebasing → Without renting capital Here's how it works 🧵

Our cryptographic researcher @alexand_belling revealed yesterday at @eth_proofs that Linea is moving to RISC-V. After 3 years of directly arithmetizing the EVM, producing a 1000+ page spec and one of the most rigorous proving system in production, we’re changing course. Here’s

1/ How L1 and L2s can build the strongest possible Ethereum tldr: we should continue to lean into the unique capabilities of each layer, and make sure all users have a clear path to securely and seamlessly benefit from the core properties of Ethereum

Stablecoin rules in the UK are being finalized, and are at risk of preventing the UK from being globally competitive in the digital economy. For example, the Bank of England is proposing a cap on stablecoin holdings for individuals and businesses. The UK has a long history of

Announcing the Platform team a new team at the EF with one goal: deliver the strongest possible Ethereum platform, where L1 and L2s are best positioned to support users, apps, and all groups building on Ethereum see more in link below & stay tuned for updates 🫡

At Linea, we don't just use gnark, we build it. Vortex polynomial commitments now benchmarked at: - 3.7× faster than Plonky3 FRI (CPU) - 9.6× GPU boost on commit - 35.8× GPU boost on open Thanks to @AntChainOpenLab for the hardware acceleration work and to our cryptography team
Gnark-crypto's Vortex commitment is 3.7× faster than Plonky3's FRI PCS. Our Hardware team further improved the performance of Vortex commitment by 9.6× using GPU. Additionally, Vortex's Open was accelerated by 35.8×. @alexand_belling @zkgbo @YaoGalteland @LineaBuild

Currently at @DAF_Global, as we further solidify our strategic partnerships and open the gates for new institutions ready to fully commit to the Ethereum & Linea ecosystem. The upside couldn't be more clear on the compounding adoption of institutional-grade trustware

Linea is primed to be the first battle tested Native Rollup technology stack, and we directly support this EIP and direction. We made a unique decision early on to follow the mainline EVM specification exactly with no forks, hence it’s the only L2 stack that an L1 EL client can
There have recently been some discussions on the ongoing role of L2s in the Ethereum ecosystem, especially in the face of two facts: * L2s' progress to stage 2 (and, secondarily, on interop) has been far slower and more difficult than originally expected * L1 itself is scaling,

Making decentralized technologies more secure is a top priority for the @LineaBuild team this year. It is painfully obvious we will never expand our industry if businesses and consumers keep getting hacked and exploited. Remember, it was only a few months ago that Balancer was
We've integrated the Credible Layer from @phylaxsystems into our sequencer to stop exploits before they execute. This shifts the risk curve, enabling institutions like @SharpLink to deploy more capital into DeFi.

still fairly good liquid APY on LINEA and you get to earn the yield governance token of the gasless chain and you farm points from native apps i might even kiss you goodnight on your forehead as well karma counts.
Reminder that if you have LINEA tokens sitting idle, you could be earning 40%+ APY by pre-depositing them to Status Network. This makes the LINEA pre-deposit vault the first of its kind on Linea, supporting pre-mainnet capital commitment and kickstarting Status Network’s economy

Casual news..... In 1973, 239 banks created SWIFT. In 2025, SWIFT hired an Ethereum focused company to rebuild it. @Consensys is building the prototype for SWIFT's new blockchain-based ledger. 30+ banks including JPMorgan, HSBC, and Deutsche Bank are collaborating. The first

With @SharpLink’s $170M ETH deployment "we're showing how institutions can deploy ETH productively while meeting the security and compliance standards they require." - @DeclanFox14 A meaningful step forward in partnership with @Anchorage, @ether_fi, and @EigenCloud.
NEW: We just deployed $170M ETH with first-of-it’s-kind enhanced yield on @LineaBuild. This combines native Ethereum yield, restaking rewards from @eigencloud and direct incentives from @LineaBuild and @ether_fi, all within an institutional-grade qualified custodian thanks to

Excited to partner with @SharpLink and bring DeFi yield to public markets for the first time in history. Institutions can now purchase ETH and make it productive onchain, all within a qualified custodian. This is a watershed moment for ETH and I expect lots more corporate

Linea's throughput just jumped from 27.5 mGas/s to 100 mGas/s, but the job isn't finished yet.
