We’re excited to announce crossing a major milestone in our ecosystem: KyberSwap has expanded to Linea Network!
In the rapidly evolving landscape of decentralized finance (DeFi), KyberSwap remains dedicated to delivering superior swap rates swiftly, securely, and cost-effectively.
Leveraging our aggregator routing capabilities and capital-efficient liquidity protocols, early adopters on Linea can now seamlessly swap. This allows them to earn while enjoying superior rates and reduced slippage.
Since our deployment on Linea Mainnet in July 2023, KyberSwap has soared to secure the #1 position in both Total Value Locked (TVL) and trading Volume on Linea!
As we deploy more solutions on Linea, we continue to move forward in building KyberSwap as the pioneering EVM DEX. This strategic move empowers DeFi users on Linea with enhanced liquidity options and powerful aggregation capabilities.
What is Linea Network?
Linea, a zkEVM rollup network launched by ConsenSys, is redefining user experience and scalability for Ethereum. With over 100 protocols, partners, dApps, and web3 integrations like MetaMask, Linea rich ecosystem offers fast, low-fee, high-throughput DeFi solutions.
Linea’s mainnet launch follows a successful testnet phase that saw 5.4 million unique wallets commit over 43 million transactions in three months, making Linea one of the largest active projects on Goerli.
The mainnet boasts upgrades like an outer-proof system and dynamic fee mechanism. Batch conflation supports lower transaction costs up to 15 times cheaper than Ethereum Layer 1.
What sets Linea Network apart?
- zkEVM Type 2 Technology: Linea’s adoption of zkEVM (a fully compatible Zk-Rollup solution) enhances the development experience for programmers. The EVM-like structure ensures strong composability, allowing DApps to migrate seamlessly with minimal source code modifications.
- Developed by ConsenSys: Backed by ConsenSys, Linea benefits from the expertise and resources of a prominent player behind successful projects like Metamask and Infura. ConsenSys R&D has dedicated substantial efforts to zkEVM research and development, culminating in the launch of Linea.
- Developer-Friendly: Linea network offers direct integration with developer tools such as Metamask, Infura, Truffle, and Besu. Developers can leverage the built-in Metamask wallet, Infura’s APIs and Web3 infrastructure, Truffle for Solidity contract development, and Besu for zkEVM optimization through battle-testing.
