Linea

3 stories
Linea extends blockchain capacity through Consensys Ethereum Layer 2, supported by Linea Besu client and zero-knowledge proof settlement. The operating stack also includes EVM bytecode compatibility, native bridge to Ethereum, and Linea ecosystem programs, which affect bridging, developer compatibility, fee handling, or transaction finality.

Editorial work on Linea should connect application performance with settlement, data availability, fees, governance, and the practical reliability of Linea ecosystem programs. Base-layer protocol news belongs elsewhere unless it changes proofs, settlement, withdrawals, data, or Linea ecosystem programs for Linea.
