In Q1 2025, the crypto industry lost approximately $2B to hacks. ENS Domains offers two key security features to protect users:
- Cold Wallet Protection: Allows name renewals without exposing secured wallets
- Address Poisoning Prevention: Uses human-readable names to prevent scams
- Multi-chain Support: Links various blockchain addresses (BTC, SOL, DOGE) to .eth domains
These simple yet effective security measures demonstrate how user-friendly design can significantly enhance web3 security. Learn more about ENS security features
Web3 security doesn't have to be complicated. @ensdomains quietly protects you in two powerful ways: it renews names without exposing cold wallets and completely avoids address poisoning scams. In a world where ~$2B was lost to hacks in Q1 2025 alone, these tools matter.
Simple steps, real security. The easiest ways to stay safe in Web3 are often the simplest. Just like major apps simplify UX to keep users secure, ENS helps you stay a step ahead - quietly improving your security and OPSEC every day. 🧵
Linea Scaling Phase Activated

Linea has entered its next major development phase with a focus on sustainable scaling. This follows their February 2024 commitment to scaling solutions. Key updates: - Scaling phase officially activated - Builds on previous scaling infrastructure - Continues Linea's systematic approach to Ethereum layer 2 development *This milestone marks a significant step in Linea's roadmap* as the zkRollup platform continues to enhance its capabilities for supporting Ethereum dApps.
Linea Introduces Free L1-L2 Bridging from Ethereum
Linea has launched free bridging from Ethereum mainnet to their L2 network. The initiative covers L2 fees for transactions using less than 250k gas through their native bridge at [bridge.linea.build](https://bridge.linea.build). Key limitations: - Only applies to L1→L2 transactions - Users still pay Ethereum L1 gas fees - USDC bridging via Circle's CCTP not included This follows recent bridge improvements including: - Multi-chain bridging support - Direct fiat onramps (ApplePay, GooglePay, PayPal) - Simplified user interface
Pectra Upgrade Enhances Ethereum L2 Scaling
The Pectra upgrade has significantly improved Ethereum's scaling capabilities, particularly benefiting Layer 2 networks. Here's what you need to know: - Linea, a zk rollup solution, can now process higher transaction volumes - Enhanced efficiency in L2 operations - Improved scalability without compromising security The upgrade represents a crucial step in Ethereum's evolution, focusing on practical scaling solutions rather than theoretical improvements.

Enterprise-Grade Trusted Scalable Ethereum-Aligned
Ethereum's scaling landscape continues to evolve with purpose-built Layer 2 solutions gaining momentum. Key developments include: - Enhanced interoperability between L2 networks - Focus on enterprise-grade security features - Improved scalability without compromising decentralization ZK rollups are emerging as a preferred scaling solution, offering: - Faster transaction finality - Reduced gas fees - Maintained security guarantees Developers are increasingly adopting these solutions to build more efficient and cost-effective dApps on Ethereum.
Linea's Direct Arithmetization Approach Challenges zkVM Dominance
Linea has unveiled its direct arithmetization approach as an alternative to popular RISC-V zkVMs. Their system converts EVM components into custom circuits, achieving **10x better witness-efficiency** than current RISC-V zkVMs. Key features: - Custom optimization control - Elimination of VM overhead - Development of constraint-focused high-level language - Integration of Vortex, Arcane, Wizard, and GKR components Recent Vortex benchmarks indicate potential **10-100x performance improvements**, suggesting possible real-time proving capabilities. While RISC-V offers simplicity advantages, Linea estimates its prover gains are limited to 2-5x compared to EVM.
