ConsenSys Intensifies Competition in zkEVM Space, Launching Public Testnet of Linea

After zkSync Era and Polygon zkEVM went live on mainnet, ConsenSys, another player in the zkEVM space, announced its the latest updates. The Ethereum software company named its zkEVM solution Linea and launched the public testnet, available to any developer, user, and protocols.

ConsenSys launched the private testnet of its zkEVM in January, and the network has reached 1.5 million transactions. Linea aims to combine zero-knowledge proofs with full EVM equivalence, allowing builders to create scalable DApps or migrate existing ones without the need to change code or rewrite smart contracts. ConsenSys said its prover design can fasten transaction speeds and reduce gas costs without sacrificing security.

The Linea testnet comes with native integration with MetaMask, available as a default testnet option on the MetaMask extension. In addition, Linea will launch a testnet NFT voyage campaign soon.
