ConsenSys rolls scaling network Linea, which delivered faster throughput and 15 times lower transaction costs than Ethereum’s layer 1. The Ethereum ecosystem welcomes another layer-2 scaling solution as ConsenSys begins onboarding partners to its Linea network, which has produced significant scaling milestones in testing. Linea is an Ethereum layer-2 scaling network that allows developers to build or migrate decentralized…

Starknet’s latest upgrade will scale the zk-Rollup’s throughput by 50x or more, but capacity is very different from real-world usage. Starknet’s Quantum Leap upgrade has been deployed on a testnet, with the Ethereum layer-2 scaling protocol claiming it’s capable of processing “hundreds of transactions per second.” If achieved, it would be at least a 50x…

zkSync Era’s new ZK Stack will use recursive scaling and “hyperchains” to create an ecosystem of interoperable protocols and sovereign chains. Ethereum zero-knowledge proof scaling system zkSync Era has unveiled its answer to Optimism’s Superchain concept in the form of ZK Stack. It’s a modular framework for a series of ZK-powered custom blockchains called Hyperchains, which will operate as…

Mihailo Bjelic suggested that adding zero-knowledge proof technology could bolster the network’s security while still keeping fees low. Polygon co-founder Mihailo Bjelic has proposed upgrading the Polygon proof-of-stake (PoS) network to a “zkEVM validium” version, according to a June 20 forum post. If the upgrade is implemented, the new version will rely on zero-knowledge proofs to increase security. HUGE…

Polygon co-founder Sandeep Nailwal says that speculation has been both the “boon and bane of crypto,” but genuine use cases will eventually rise to the surface. Sandeep Nailwal, the co-founder of the Ethereum scaling platform Polygon, believes Web3 gaming will eventually become one of the biggest drivers of mass crypto adoption. In a May 25…

The much needed upgrade will provide a number of improvements across the network, and come at a time when competition in the Layer 2 space has been heating up. Layer 2 scaling solution Optimism is set to undergo its highly anticipated Bedrock upgrade on June 6. The move is expected to result in significantly reduced…
