The zero-knowledge #Ethereum Virtual Machine (zkEVM) has been given the name "Linea" by the Ethereum software company ConsenSys, and it has been made available for public testing.
#ConsenSys established a private testnet for its #zkEVM in December, and more than 350,000 transactions have been completed since then. In a blog post, the developers behind Linea said that:
“Linea represents the next evolution of ConsenSys zkEVM, powering a new generation of dapps built on Ethereum.”
Moreover, ConsenSys tweeted that its well-known #MetaMask wallet and Truffle, its developer tools, will be fully integrated into Linea.
Many believe that zero-knowledge technology is the best way to scale blockchains since it lowers transaction costs and speeds up transactions.
A ZK rollup that works with the Ethereum Virtual Machine, the program that runs smart contracts, is known as a zkEVM. Developers may switch their apps over to Ethereum without experiencing any issues if there is a ZK rollup that is compatible with the EVM.
Recently, there has been a lot of activity in the Ethereum ecosystem's zero-knowledge area. Both Matter Labs and Polygon released their own zkEVMs, putting an end to the competition to make Ethereum-compatible ZK rollups available to consumers.
