Linea: “ Linea's Mainnet Alpha launch has been incredible! Over $20m bridged and 670k transactions in under a week, thanks to our amazing community's support.
As a result of the excitement, Ethereum withdrawal times have temporarily increased.
The team is working hard to speed up transactions of bridged assets from L2 to L1.
Withdrawal times should gradually reduce till we hit the target of 8 - 32 hours over the next few days.
Rest assured, all pending transactions will be processed.”

Vitalik Buterin highlighted the main risks in the Worldcoin biometric proof-of-personhood system.
There are four major risks:

▫️Accessibility
▫️Centralization
▫️Security
An approach that combines social-graphic and biometric technologies can mitigate these risks.
Proof-of-Personhood (PoP) is a system designed for decentralized authentication of a user's uniqueness without relying on a central authority or disclosing personal information.
