EDITOR’S PARTY NOTE: If you haven’t yet, the window of opportunity is closing to register for Linea’s After Dark party in Denver next week. Not to be missed. On to the news…

Throughout this crypto cycle, meme coins have been a prime attractor for developers, communities, and the crypto-curious. The excitement is undeniable, and for Linea, we’re committed to supporting communities that exemplify creativity, engagement, and innovation. That’s why we’re introducing the Linea Meme Manifesto. By following these guidelines, teams can build memes that matter and engage with Linea to get support.

Note: TOAD AI is a community project on Linea, supported by Ape Accelerator.

This week on Linea was big as we welcomed Aave and the full power of defi to the network. Cashback rewards started flowing to MetaMask Card users, ENS shared the future of rollups and devs kept cooking. Here’s a quick run down in this print version of the weekly Sequencer:

AI Agents and specifically AI crypto agents are on the rise and making their way to Linea. Now it's your turn to contribute and build your own version of AI on the world’s home network. We'll be offering hackathons on this subject throughout the year, starting with the hackathon we're organizing with Safe from February 3 to 14.

$TRUMP may be the memecoin to end all memecoins, or it may be the meme to create a new fusion of politics, culture and economics. It’s impossible to know, but whatever happens you can now enjoy the ride on Linea.

Gm gm world. Hope the holidays have been joyous for you all!

2024 came in with optimism we might be pulling out of a bear market, and it’s going out with excited visions of bulls strapping on rockets bound for the moon or another galaxy.
