Linea
The zkEVM from Consensys, maker of MetaMask. The LINEA token launched in 2025.
Linea is the zkEVM rollup opened in July 2023 by Consensys, the company behind MetaMask and Infura.
It is closely tied to the MetaMask wallet, and the LINEA token launched in 2025. Fees are paid in ETH.
Operated by Consensys—the company behind MetaMask and Infura—Linea enjoys native distribution across the most widely used wallet and developer infrastructure in the Ethereum ecosystem.
Powered by lattice-based zero-knowledge proofs and aggressive proof compression, Linea combines low L1 verification costs with deep integration into MetaMask’s swap, bridge, and portfolio tools.
