Linera is a layer-1 protocol where users do not compete for blockspace. Instead, every end user gets their own blockspace through microchains.
Microchains are lightweight chains that operate in parallel within a common set of validators.

Happy to announce our new project name "Linera" and our new website
Linera is on a mission to bring web2 performance and reliability (and in particular "linear scaling") to the new world of web3.
We're hiring Rust engineers!
#rustlang
#web3
Dive into cross-chain messaging on Linera and the power behind our natively multi-chain system. Learn how chains use two types of transactions to communicate through asynchronous messaging. 🚀
Web3 applications should run with reliable performance, regardless of the number of active users.
In other architectures, users compete for blockspace, resulting in delays or high fees.
Linera's microchains aim to support web3 apps that need low latency interactions at scale.

Q: ‘How does block validation work on Linera without a mempool?’
A: Each validator is a separate web service, queried in parallel. The user-chain approach, inspired by reliable broadcast, removes the need for synchronization between validators.

Q: How will validators manage the high volume of transactions proposed in the whitepaper?
A: Linera validators are an elastic web2-like service, that can divide their workload by increasing the number of cloud-based workers processing transactions.

@AlpenSheth
captures our approach of introducing microchains and other unique aspects of our architecture, especially our mempool-free consensus protocol.…
6/ No more waiting in Mempools - Traditional blockchains suffer when overloaded, and Layer 2 solutions have their challenges too. Thanks to its architecture, Linera doesn’t need to rely on memory pools, accelerating account operations and significantly reducing block latency.
Microchains mark Linera's innovative edge, but our consensus mechanism remains a classic delegated proof-of-stake + BFT model.
Our auditing approach also empowers the community to continuously verify chains using commodity hardware, maintaining security & decentralization.

Q:'Are there any security tradeoffs in using Linera’s multichain system?’
A: In contrast to traditional multi-chain systems, Linera runs all of the microchains in the same set of validators. So creating new chains does not impact the security model of Linera

Q: ‘How is it possible to manage an endless amount of chains?’
A: We encourage users to manage the production of their blocks and operate their own microchain. Users will submit new blocks themselves and inactive chains do not cost anything to validators.

1/ To celebrate the upcoming New Year, we're taking a moment to reflect on Linera's milestones in 2023.
Every day until Jan 1st, we'll highlight key achievements that have shaped our ecosystem. It's been a remarkable year full of growth, innovation, and community support. 🧵
In Linera, when traffic is high, validators can divide their workload between many internal workers as needed. Furthermore, auditing each microchain is possible with commodity hardware. How does this work? How can the system scale while still being decentralized? 👇
Learning Linera
#4
Q: ’What Consensus mechanism does Linera use on its public chains?’
A: Linera relies on delegated proof of stake (DPoS), where validators voting rights are based on their stakes in the system, together with the stakes that are delegated to them by users.
