What is Linea crypto?
FAQ
Linea is the result of four years of research and development by Consensys. It was designed to be a bytecode-compatible zkEVM rollup that significantly improves transaction speed and reduces costs. The name "Linea" comes from the Latin word for "line," representing the forward-moving journey of web3 innovation.
A zkEVM is a virtual machine that executes smart contracts and verifies their correctness using zero-knowledge proofs. It mirrors Ethereum's core design, offering developers and users a familiar environment. When combined with rollup technology, zkEVMs deliver stronger security and better scalability for decentralized apps.
Unlike optimistic rollups that depend on validators, Linea secures its network with advanced cryptography and zero-knowledge proofs. This means faster finality to Ethereum Layer 1, stronger transaction guarantees, and trustless withdrawals that improve capital efficiency. Thanks to its bytecode compatibility and EVM-equivalence, Linea also allows seamless reuse of existing smart contracts and development tools.
Yes, Linea has released its smart contracts under the AGPL-3.0 license. The full specification, covering every EVM opcode and precompile, is publicly accessible. Consensys also plans to open-source the full Linea software stack after completing additional audits and security improvements later this year.
