According to a press release shared with Cointelegraph, Status, a global collective building a digital platform for inclusive communities, has partnered with Linea to launch the Status Network.“Status will be the first contributor to Linea’s open-source code [...] Developers at Status will engage directly with the Linea codebase, intending to operate an identical version of Linea in parallel, thereby strengthening the entire ecosystem.”

The partnership represents a milestone in Linea’s longer-term decentralization roadmap to establish a more transparent, secure and collaborative ecosystem.
In the press release, Nicolas Liochon, Linea’s global lead, explained that the team has been “focused on Linea’s open-source stack” since the successful launch of Linea mainnet alpha.“Our collaboration with Status is a natural fit, given their significant contributions to core Ethereum operations and their strong consumer-facing focus through the Status app.”

According to the press release, the Status team will contribute to “ongoing engineering on Linea,” including conducting research and “supporting client and prover diversity.”
Cyprien Grau, a Status core contributor, stated that the network and Linea have “a shared vision” to further decentralization on the Ethereum blockchain.“We believe zk is the endgame for scaling and could not be more thrilled about this deep collaboration aimed to ultimately scale Ethereum horizontally.”

Zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine (zkEVM) technology is at the core of Linea’s solution for scaling Ethereum.
The approach aims to address challenges involving high fees and low transaction throughput on the Ethereum blockchain through Linea’s zkEVM L2 rollup solution.
This latest development follows Vitalik Buterin’s recent statement in an Aug. 5 X post regarding cross-chain interoperability between Ethereum L2 networks
Buterin stated people would be “surprised by how quickly ‘cross-L2 interoperability problems’ stop being problems” and the resulting “smooth user experience” across the Ethereum ecosystem.
