Linea is a Layer 2 (L2) scaling solution built on the Ethereum blockchain, designed to facilitate fast and cheap transactions.
Built by Consensys, the creators of the popular MetaMask wallet, Linea offers an extremely developer-friendly experience thanks to its equivalence with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and its native integrations with Consensys products.
Linea is a zkEVM L2. It leverages ZK proofs to validate transactions, ensuring they are accurate and secure without the need to process each transaction individually on the Ethereum mainnet. This approach significantly reduces gas fees and increases transaction speed, making it a powerful tool for scaling Ethereum apps.
Linea's architecture is built around three main components: a Sequencer, a Prover, and a Bridge Relayer.
