Lend.​xyz Launches on Linea, Enabling Fractional Real Estate Investment

Linea released Episode 3 of their "Linea Insights" series, addressing the timing of their architectural shift from direct EVM arithmetization to RISC-V. The episode follows previous installments where the cryptography team explained: - Four years of work on direct EVM arithmetization - The technical rationale behind moving to a RISC-V based zkVM - What this transition means for the platform This latest episode specifically tackles **why the team chose to make this transition now**, providing context on the strategic timing of this significant technical decision. The series aims to give developers and users transparency into Linea's technical evolution and the reasoning behind major architectural choices.

Linea is changing its technical approach to arithmetization, aligning more closely with the Ethereum Foundation's direction. This shift supports the broader ecosystem effort to integrate zero-knowledge proofs into Ethereum's Layer 1. **Key Points:** - Change in arithmetization methodology - Alignment with Ethereum Foundation's technical roadmap - Part of the larger initiative to add ZK capabilities to Ethereum's base layer The move reflects the ongoing evolution of Ethereum's scaling infrastructure and the growing importance of zero-knowledge technology in the network's future.

Linea has published an update to its documentation page. The zkEVM rollup's technical documentation is available at docs.linea.build for developers building on the network. **Key Points:** - Documentation refresh for Linea's developer resources - Updates available on the official [Linea Docs](https://docs.linea.build/) page - Follows previous documentation updates from earlier this month Linea continues to maintain its technical documentation for developers working with the zkEVM scaling solution.

Phylax Systems CEO Odysseas will discuss the evolution from reactive to proactive security approaches in DeFi during an upcoming conversation. **Key Details:** - **Topic:** The Credible Layer and its implications for builders and DeFi security - **Date:** Thursday, January 29th - **Time:** 3:00 PM UTC - **Platform:** X and YouTube - **Hosts:** suzapolooza_eth and EricCMack Several protocols including Euler Finance, Malda, Turtle, and Denaria Finance have already integrated the Credible Layer for protocol protection. Public assertions are available at [app.phylax.systems](http://app.phylax.systems).

**Four DeFi protocols now live with Credible Layer protection** Euler Finance, Malda, Turtle, and Denaria Finance have deployed Phylax's Credible Layer to protect their protocols, with more deployments coming soon. **How it works:** - Protocols define "bad outcomes" through assertions - security rules validated by the sequencer - Invalid transactions are dropped before execution - Valid transactions proceed normally - All assertions are publicly viewable at [app.phylax.systems](http://app.phylax.systems) **The shift from bug hunting to outcome prevention** Traditional security focuses on finding bugs, but some always slip through. The Credible Layer takes a different approach by preventing harmful outcomes rather than searching for vulnerabilities. Linea has integrated this technology into its sequencer, stopping exploits before they execute. This risk reduction enables institutions like SharpLink to deploy more capital into DeFi. The technology aims to make DeFi less risky for mainstream adoption.
