Layer 2 network
Network gas
ETH on Linea pays for transfers and contract calls. An Ethereum transaction needs a separate ETH balance on Ethereum.

Linea: Ethereum ZK network and applications
Linea is an Ethereum Layer 2 using ZK proofs. EVM applications support token swaps, liquidity provision and borrowing. Transactions use ETH for gas; LINEA is linked to the ecosystem’s economics and development.

All sections
ETH, LINEA and application tokens
Each asset serves a different operation.
Ecosystem economics
LINEA is used in ecosystem programmes and the buy-and-burn mechanism. Network transaction fees are paid in ETH.
A specific contract’s asset
A token has a contract address on Linea. Identical tickers on two networks can refer to different issuances.
Operation lifecycle
Funding Linea and returning to Ethereum
The native bridge connects the networks through messages. An aggregator offers separate routes with its own pricing and liquidity.
Bridge deposit
- 01Asset on Ethereum
- 02Bridge message
- 03Asset on Linea
A native-bridge deposit starts with a transaction on Ethereum. After message delivery, the asset becomes available on Linea; further transactions require ETH on Linea.
How it works ↗Native-bridge withdrawal
- 01Send from Linea
- 02Message finalisation
- 03Receive on Ethereum
Sending and receiving are separate stages. Claim availability depends on message finalisation. Receiving on Ethereum also involves that network’s gas.
How it works ↗Aggregator route
- 01Network and token
- 02Route quotation
- 03Recipient’s asset
The route price reflects the selected provider’s fees, swaps and available liquidity. The receive amount and destination network are specified before sending.
How it works ↗Execution, proof and settlement
A ZK proof connects transaction execution results to Ethereum.
Application on Linea
Transactions change contract state on Linea. Lineascan exposes addresses and transfers.
Verifying computation
The proving system establishes that a batch of transactions was executed correctly.
Ethereum
Data and proofs connect L2 state to Ethereum contracts; the bridge uses messages between the layers.
What to do on Linea
Etherex supports swaps and liquidity; Aave V3 supports supplies and borrowing. Linea Names associates an address with a readable name.
Swaps and liquidity
Etherex
Concentrated-liquidity pools. A provider’s position depends on the selected price range and pool terms.
Lending
Aave V3
Aave V3 on Linea supports supplying assets and collateralised borrowing. Reserve parameters and collateral health constrain borrowing.
Address names
Linea Names
Register a .linea.eth name for a wallet address and ecosystem identity.
Wallet, chain ID 59144 and an ETH balance
Use an EVM wallet supporting chain ID 59144. An exchange withdrawal must use the Linea network; a bridge moves an asset from another network.
Add the network
Mainnet RPC: https://rpc.linea.build. The native asset is ETH; the explorer is Lineascan.
Fund gas
Keep some ETH for subsequent actions: token spending approval, swapping or supplying.
Choose a funding route
Linea Bridge offers a native bridge and an aggregator. For an exchange withdrawal, the destination network must be Linea.

Where Linea fees go
Users pay ETH for transactions. Revenue covers Ethereum costs; the remaining amount funds the dual ETH and LINEA burn.
Token and network governance
The Linea Consortium oversees ecosystem funding.
Development funding
LINEA programmes support developers, users, liquidity and Ethereum public goods.
Consortium decisions
The consortium oversees emissions, grants and incentives. LINEA has no onchain tokenholder voting.

Linea questions
1Do I need LINEA for gas?+
Network fees are paid with ETH held on Linea.
2What is the mainnet chain ID?+
59144. RPC: https://rpc.linea.build; explorer: Lineascan.
3How does the native bridge differ from an aggregator?+
The native bridge passes messages between Linea and Ethereum. An aggregator selects a route through separate providers with their own fees and liquidity.
