About Linea
Linea is a type 2 zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine (zkEVM) developed by ConsenSys. It replicates the Ethereum environment as a rollup, enabling the next generation of Ethereum developers to build and deploy any smart contract using any tool to develop ÐApps as if they were building on Ethereum itself.
For users, this means experiencing the security guarantees of Ethereum with lower transaction costs. Although the network is still in beta and it’s too early to discuss launching a token, stay tuned for more updates!
