Linea Chain
Consensys’ zero-knowledge Ethereum Layer 2 rollup, emphasizing privacy and ETH economy strengthening through burn mechanics.
What is Linea Chain?
Linea, launched in 2023, uses zkEVM technology to prove transactions in under 1 minute, supporting 1,000 TPS and fees below $0.005 while generating $65 million in revenue for Consensys by 2025. It burns 100% of sequencer fees in ETH, distributing yields to stakers holding over 500,000 ETH.
The chain’s community token airdrop of 9.4 billion LINEA tokens in September 2025 incentivizes adoption, with TVL reaching $2.5 billion across DeFi protocols like Pendle. Linea’s x402 expansion integrates with Consensys tools for enterprise-grade privacy.
