Status Network has launched the first-ever gasless Layer 2 on testnet, proposing novel approaches to revenue and user interaction.

Overview of Status Network

Status (SNT), known for its contribution to decentralized communication since 2017, has introduced a new Layer 2 built on the Linea stack from Consensys. This launch represents a significant step towards the scalability and sustainability of Ethereum.

New Business Model Without Gas Fees

Status Network changes the approach to revenue generation by completely eliminating transaction fees and replacing them with income from applications and yield from provided assets. As noted by **Cyprien Grau**, lead at Status Network, 'we designed Status Network so developers can ship games and seamless social experiences without forcing users to preload gas.'

Future Developments and Roadmap

The current version of the gasless Layer 2 testnet is already live, and a v2 with improvements is expected to launch in October 2025. The mainnet is targeted for release in Q1 2026.

The launch of Status Network represents a significant breakthrough in decentralized applications, promising users a more accessible and efficient interaction without the need to pay transaction fees.
