The Linea Association, a Swiss nonprofit organization that promotes the development and governance of Linea, was officially announced at the Devcon event in Bangkok, Thailand on November 13. Declan Fox, head of product at Linea, said that the newly formed association will serve three main goals: supporting Linea technology, developing the Linea market, and further advancing Linea's decentralized roadmap. Joseph Lubin, founder of Consensys and Ethereum contributor, believes that the Linea Association is an important step for the network to be truly decentralized, which can exclude excessive control by any management entity.
In addition, the Linea Association will oversee the development and management of Linea's open source technology and ecosystem, develop the Linea mainnet and launch the Linea token in the first quarter of 2025. (Cointelegraph)
