Linea Voyage - Across, Layer3, LXP And The Surge Volt Dynamics

about 2 months ago

There's a lot to cover in this article, as it is the first one I am dedicating fully to Linea and the voyage towards leveling the LXP! Linea is an Ethereum layer 2 (L2) network that provides access to innovative Web3 projects at significantly lower costs compared to Ethereum. Linea delivers unrivaled network security with its cryptographically secure zk-rollup infrastructure, comprehensive security partnerships, and security-oriented ecosystem culture

It's compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), allowing users to deploy existing Ethereum applications and develop new ones that would be too costly on Mainnet. It also enables the community to use those dapps, at a fraction of the cost, and at multiples the speed of Mainnet.

The Across Bridge has expanded to Linea, making the zkEVM solution and its ecosystem’s applications more accessible and expand Across’ presence on Layer 2. Linea users and developers can now benefit from Across’ intents-based framework and Across users can easily access one of the most promising zkEVMs.

Linea offers fast finality, low fees, and superior base layer security. It also integrates first-grade Web3 products from ConsenSys and uses a cutting-edge system called the Vortex Prover, a type of zkProof that enhances Linea’s performance. Linea’s zkEVM solution promises to advance the Layer 2 ecosystem, offering fertile ground for developers to deploy applications that offer scalability.

Across Bridge’ intents-based architecture is a key benefit to Linea. As Across Bridge uses relayers to fill orders when users express their intent, it’s extremely fast and cost-effective for users. How fast? How about ZERO seconds fill time? It took zero seconds to send assets from Optimism to Arbitrum! Does your bridge have the lowest fees in the space, instant transfers with superior security?

The Linea Voyage introduced a different synergy, similar to video and role-playing games. The anon is the character that can gain Experience Points (XP) and level-up! The Linea Voyage LXP represents the journey and experience in the Linea ecosystem.

What's LXP? This soulbound ERC-20 token will be distributed to recognize the community's extraordinary contribution toward the growth of the Linea ecosystem. It doesn't have any monetary value but Voyage LXP will also make owners eligible for benefits such as receiving official community roles, exclusive Linea swag, and more!

However, users must bind their accounts to earn the XP! If you're navigating the Linea ecosystem with multiple accounts, choose one as your main hub to effortlessly accumulate all the Voyage LXP you've received. This ensures that every adventure is accurately recorded across your interconnected accounts, providing a seamless and comprehensive representation of your Linea experience.

Here's a big one! Account binding is not retroactive, so I didn't earn any XP for completing the Layer3 Linea Park quests! I done the binding later on, and must say the Proof of Humanity is a pain! Was hard to find one attestation from Group A and two from Group B!

I feel that an airdrop is being cooked behind the scenes! LXP-L is intended to recognize and incentivize meaningful contributors within the Linea ecosystem. These points encompass a variety of actions, such as being an early adopter, owning assets on Linea, engaging with different protocols within the ecosystem, demonstrating past involvement across other blockchain networks, and more!

The hustled continued and those Layer3 quests will hopefully bring some bounties! The Surge Volt 4 has officially started, with a focus on stablecoin liquidity and offering higher LXP-L modifiers for active vs. passive positions.

I did some stuff in the past but without earning LXP when the Layer3 users where invited into Linea Park. I interacted with a plethora of Linea protocols , and completed quest for nothing! Some where too dodgy to complete anyway!

I like challenges but I am still careful with my on-chain activity, this is why I completed only the quests that didn't required downloads or installing stuff. That was a big NO for me and skipped those quests.

The Layer3 Linea Culture SZN was the next opportunity to earn Linea XP and mint some nice free NFTs. With the Proof of Humanity completed I was ready for a new start!

I started completing the Linea Culture quests, and will patiently wait for the distribution. One month later and my LXP balance still shows as zero! Each week highlighted projects and their NFTs, and the participants voted on their favorite art on Sunday. Free NFTs, LXP and Layer3 CUBEs for all! Will 470 LXP be enough for a decent drop? Time will tell!

I used Across to bridge more funds on Linea , willing to take advantage of Volt 4 and the extra points! To gradually adapt the number of points and incentivize early participation in the program, the Linea decay function will decreases at every Volt.

How it works? At the start of the program, this function was set at 1, and reduced by a factor of 10% after every Epoch. This will lead to an overall number of points lower by 10% every month. The new volts create less LXP-L as the Surge continues amplifying Linea’s ecosystem!

Early is good, which means participating now is always better than later. Following the linear decay function, Volt 4 will offer 10% higher LXP-L than Volt 5... and so on! If stablecoins got the juicy, so did the Linea names! Minted my pvm.linea.eth domain so feel free to drop gifts in there!

Join me on Linea by completing your Proof Of Humanity! Explore the LXP-L headmap and allocate your position accordingly! Stack those LXP-L points as they become harder to get!
