🚀 zkEVM Breakthrough
**Linea achieves historic milestone** by upgrading simultaneously with Ethereum Mainnet for the first time, proving zkEVMs can match Ethereum's upgrade pace. **Rapid evolution timeline:** - zkEVM to London: 4 years - London to Prague: 4 months - Prague to Osaka: **real-time** **Technical approach sets Linea apart:** - Develops ZK proofs directly for EVM (vs. RISC-V virtual machines) - More manual work but delivers superior performance - Plans shift to zkASM for faster circuit implementation **Developer benefits:** - Immediate access to newest EVM features when Ethereum upgrades - Deploy latest Solidity code without modifications - True EVM equivalence with no delays This breakthrough enhances onboarding, security, and performance while proving skeptics wrong about zkEVM upgrade capabilities.
