The ecosystem has additionally expanded to greater than 420 ecosystem companions. This know-how is publicly out there beneath the Apache license and permits customers to view, department, and modify the code.
The affiliation operates independently of Consensys and is in keeping with CEO Joseph Lubin's imaginative and prescient to steadily decentralize key improvements. Lubin mentioned:
“As Consensys strikes in direction of decentralization, Linea represents a basic step in our imaginative and prescient of making a Community State for the rising decentralized world financial system.”
Linea has built-in long-term Ethereum contributors corresponding to Standing, builders of the Nimbus shopper, which secures 10% of the Ethereum community for staking verification.
