ConsenSys To Launch Linea, Its ZK-Rollup Network, On Main Ethereum Network

MetaMask developer ConsenSys plans to deploy its layer-2 network, Linea, on the main Ethereum network this week. Linea incorporates the use of zero-knowledge (ZK) cryptography, which is regarded as one of the most significant blockchain trends of the year. Zero-knowledge (ZK) cryptography, provides more cost-effective and expedited blockchain transactions. This layer-2 network aims to improve scalability and transaction processing on Ethereum, addressing network congestion and high gas fees. According to ConsenSys, the fee rates for transactions on Linea will be 15 times lower than those on Ethereum main network. The roll-up network implemented by Linea is commonly referred to as
