This repository hosts the monorepo for Linea, the Consensys zkEVM network. It serves developers by making the Linea tech stack open source under the Apache 2.0 license.
Linea is a developer-ready layer 2 network scaling Ethereum. It's secured with a zero-knowledge rollup, built on lattice-based cryptography, and powered by Consensys.
If you already have an understanding of the tech stack, use our Get Started guide.
Linea's stack is made up of multiple repositories, these include:
- linea-monorepo: The main repository for the Linea stack & network
- linea-besu: Fork of Besu to implement the Linea-Besu client
- linea-sequencer: A set of Linea-Besu plugins for the sequencer and RPC nodes
- linea-arithmetization: Linea-Besu plugins to implement the constraints for the circuits used to construct the zero-knowledge proofs
- linea-constraints: Constraints applied to the arithmetization, and ultimately to the circuits
- Coming soon: linea-specification: Home of the zk-EVM specification
Linea abstracts away the complexity of this technical architecture to allow developers to:
... and more.
