According to Foresight News, Ethereum domain name service company ENS Labs announced a partnership with Linea to build the upcoming Layer2 network Namechain.
ENS Labs chose Linea because the Type 2 zkEVM is fully compatible with Ethereum tools and smart contracts; high-performance proofs and fast state confirmations are critical for reliable name resolution; and because of the alignment of values, Linea provides the same multi-client diversity that protects the Ethereum mainnet. Geth, Besu, Erigon, and Nethermind can all be seamlessly synced with Linea.
