Linea
Deploy on Linea, Consensys' zkEVM Layer 2, to combine Ethereum-grade security with low fees and fast confirmations.
Linea is Consensys' production zkEVM rollup that delivers sub-cent transaction fees, rapid block finality, and Ethereum security without sacrificing developer experience. With native integrations to MetaMask, Infura, and leading Consensys tooling, Linea accelerates enterprise-grade deployments on Ethereum.
Why launch applications on Linea?
Ethereum Security
Zero-knowledge proofs inherit Ethereum's security while providing deterministic finality for mission-critical use cases.
Native Tooling
First-class support from MetaMask, Infura, Besu, and Truffle reduces integration time for enterprise teams.
Cost Efficiency
Average fees below $0.05 enable micro-transactions, loyalty experiences, and data-rich workflows.
Global Ecosystem
100+ DeFi, gaming, and infrastructure partners available through Linea's Voyage and Builder programs.
Consensys Backing: Linea is operated by Consensys, the team behind MetaMask and Infura, providing long-term roadmap stability, compliance readiness, and commercial support SLAs for regulated industries.

Linea zkEVM architecture at a glance
Rollup Sequencing
Transactions are batched by Linea's sequencer and committed to Ethereum with data availability guarantees, preserving ordering and timestamping for audits.
Zero-Knowledge Proving
Proofs are generated using Consensys' lattice-based prover pipeline that balances throughput with cost efficiency, enabling predictable settlement windows.
Settlement on Ethereum
Aggregated proofs are validated on Ethereum mainnet contracts, ensuring finality anchored in Ethereum's Proof of Stake consensus.
Ecosystem Tooling
Developers access analytics, monitoring, and DevOps support through Consensys' platform services, ensuring successful production rollouts.
Linea offers enterprise-grade SLAs, optional private support channels, and extensive compliance tooling integrations—ideal for regulated use cases and multinational deployments.
