Smart contract gas optimizationβ
Upgraded smart contracts to achieve gas optimizations in several areas:
- Major gas optimizations in blob submission, primarily in
LineaRollup.sol
- Finalization
- The token bridge.
The upgrade commit is available here.
Code in the upgrade has been audited by:
Bridge to a different recipientβ
May 29: Fully functional on testnet; ETH and USDC supported on mainnet.
June 4: Fully functional on mainnet.
The Linea bridge has been upgraded to enable recipient addresses to always be able to claim bridged funds. Bridge transfers to alternative recipients (i.e. an address that isn't the sender's address) now appear on the recipient's "Recent transactions" list, enabling them to claim.
These changes have been audited by OpenZeppelin and Cyfrin.
