What Is Linea?

Linea is an Ethereum Layer 2 built by Consensys, one of the oldest infrastructure companies in the Ethereum ecosystem. Launched on mainnet in July 2023, it is a zkEVM rollup: transactions run off-chain, and zero-knowledge validity proofs are posted to Ethereum, so the network inherits Ethereum's security while cutting fees to well under a cent for transfers. Linea is fully EVM-equivalent - any Ethereum application runs on it without code changes - and in early 2026 it moved to a Type-1 zkEVM with finality reduced to around 15 minutes. As of mid-2026, the network holds over $400 million in value. See A Beginner's Guide to Linea Blockchain for the basics.

ETH for Gas and the LINEA Token

Linea has no separate gas token: every fee is paid in ETH, the same asset you use on Ethereum mainnet - no extra token needed just to transact. The LINEA token launched in September 2025 with an unusual economic loop called the dual burn: 20% of the network's net ETH fee revenue is burned outright, and the remaining 80% is used to buy back and burn LINEA. The busier the network, the scarcer both assets become - a design that ties the token's economics directly to real usage rather than governance promises.

What Is a Linea Wallet?

A Linea wallet is an app that stores the private keys to your address on the Linea network and lets you hold, send, and receive ETH, LINEA, and ERC20 tokens on the chain. Because Linea is EVM-equivalent, your Linea address is the same 42-character 0x address you use on Ethereum - one key, two networks.

Gem Wallet is a self-custodial Linea wallet: keys are generated and stored on your device, protected by a single 12-word recovery phrase that covers Linea, Ethereum, and every other supported network - no accounts, no tracking. NFTs and WalletConnect are supported out of the box.

Frequently Asked Questions

Linea is an Ethereum Layer 2 network built by Consensys and launched in July 2023. It is a zkEVM rollup: transactions execute off-chain and are settled on Ethereum with zero-knowledge validity proofs, which keeps fees under a cent while inheriting Ethereum's security.

ETH. Linea has no separate gas token - fees are paid in the same Ether you use on Ethereum mainnet, just at a fraction of the cost. You don't need to hold LINEA to transact.

Yes. The LINEA token launched in September 2025. It is not used for gas; instead, the network's dual-burn mechanism burns 20% of net ETH fee revenue and spends the other 80% buying back and burning LINEA, tying the token's supply to network activity.

Linea was developed by Consensys, an Ethereum software company founded by Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin. The network went live on mainnet in July 2023 and upgraded to a Type-1 zkEVM in early 2026.

Linea posts zero-knowledge validity proofs of every batch to Ethereum, so the mainnet mathematically verifies Linea's state instead of trusting its operators. Your assets on Linea are ultimately secured by Ethereum itself.
