1/5
@linea is an Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain that offers cutting-edge technology, speed, liquidity, efficiency, and ease of use, making it one of the top choices for anyone starting to explore the blockchain/web3 world.

It’s backed by one of the biggest companies in the web3 space, 
@consensys, and besides having its own blockchain, it also integrates with 
@metamask, its native wallet.

In this thread, we’re going to dive into the range of possibilities available within the Linea blockchain ecosystem : 🧵👇

2 – Bridges

💻If you’re already a web3 user, you’ll need to move funds (ETH) to Linea to start interacting with its ecosystem while benefiting from one of the lowest gas fees in the Ethereum ecosystem.

3 – 💳Credit Card Deposits via 
@MetaMask
 
If you’re just starting your web3 journey, you can deposit funds directly into Linea using your credit card through Metamask:

Download it at http://metamask.io

👉Install the wallet and write down your 12 seed words securely
Click on "Buy / Sell"
Select the credit card option to make your first deposit

4 – Now that you’ve got some funds on Linea, here are some of my favorite use cases:

💸Money Markets: Just like in traditional finance, you can use dApps on Linea to provide collateral with your crypto and take out loans, allowing you to maintain liquidity while holding your favorite assets.
Suggestions: 
@zerolendxyz @MendiFinance
 

🏦Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs): Swap your assets for others that interest you through DEXs with deep liquidity and audited code on Linea.
Suggestions: 
@LynexFi @NileExchange
 

💵Derivatives/Perpetuals Trading: Bet for or against the market based on your price predictions for specific assets.
Suggestion: 
@SatoriFinance
 

💲Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs): If you’re holding ETH, you can benefit from staking by locking it up and earning intrinsic yield—around 2-4% APY. On Linea, you can mint LSTs with your ETH balance to access this extra return.

💻Create Your Own Domain: You can get a personalized domain on Linea at a much lower price than on other blockchains like Ethereum. It’s fully compatible with ENS (Ethereum Name Service) and works across dApps and other blockchains.

5 – Final Thoughts

I’ve been a web3 user for over 3-4 years, and I think Linea is one of the best places to get onboarded and gain hands-on experience in this space.
