ERC20 token bridge goes live

Linea poster one month of operation. And for its creator, adoption is unquestionably on the up. Consensys claims nearly 3 million transactions for a TVL today exceeding $30 million. According to NFTScan, more than 8,000 NFT have already been launched on the network.

Summary: Linea is “the fastest-growing zkEVM “. As part of the finalization of its public launch, the project has completed a major milestone by deploying its ERC20 token bridge. The bridge is accompanied by a “canonical list of tokens”.

These components are key. Through them, Linea’s “Third Party Bridge Partners” enable users to integrate ERC20 tokens into the network, unlocking “a wave of DeFi applications”.

Costs set to fall on Linea
