Linea Insights Season 2, Episode 5 "Who else uses gnark?" While Linea is gnark’s most prominent deployment, the library’s adoption extends across the blockchain industry in ways that underscore the maturity and reliability of the technology. In the Layer 2 space, gnark powers not only Linea but also SP1 (Succinct), Pico (Brevis), Lighter, and zkBNB (Binance). Beyond Layer 2s, it is used by Brevis and Lagrange Labs for ZK coprocessor applications, and by Vocdoni for decentralized voting infrastructure. Gnark’s adoption extends beyond Ethereum. Algorand, the blockchain co-founded by Silvio Micali, a co-inventor of zero-knowledge proofs, relies on gnark, as does Worldcoin, the identity project co-founded by Sam Altman.  Binance uses gnark for its proof-of-solvency system, demonstrating trust in the library for financial transparency applications. At the infrastructure layer, gnark-crypto is integrated into Geth and Besu (two major Ethereum execution clients) and powers go-kzg for blob transactions. This means gnark’s cryptographic primitives are involved in securing a significant amount of Ethereum’s daily transactions. Both gnark and gnark-crypto have undergone multiple independent security audits. For institutions evaluating zero-knowledge infrastructure, this combination of production track record, broad adoption and rigorous security review represents a mature technology choice for all.

Linea Insights Season 2, Episode 4 "How is gnark impacting the ZK cryptography landscape?" "gnark is not only important for Linea, it’s a core foundation of Linea" Youssef EL HOUSNI gnark is the cryptographic foundation of Linea. Linea is a zero-knowledge Layer 2 built on Ethereum, designed to scale transaction throughput while preserving Ethereum’s security guarantees and add customability. gnark crypto provides the cryptographic backbone of Linea’s proof verification and implementation of Ethereum precompiles. Recursive proof verification is particularly important for Linea’s economics and performance. Rather than submitting individual proofs to Ethereum for verification, Linea uses gnark to aggregate multiple proofs into a single recursive proof. ↓

Youssef EL HOUSNI on gnark unites cutting-edge cryptographic research and production-ready code, accelerating zero-knowledge innovation while setting new standards for performance and adoption industry-wide ↓

Linea Insights Season 2, Episode 2 "Why create gnark" Youssef EL HOUSNI: When Linea set out to build a zero-knowledge Layer 2, we made an unusual choice: build the cryptographic library from scratch and owning the full cryptographic stack.

Linea Insights is back. Season 2 starts with gnark. What is gnark? A primer on the ZK Library behind Linea. In our ongoing series with Youssef EL HOUSNI, Staff Cryptography Researcher at Consensys, we dive into the technology stack that makes Linea possible.

We’re live for Lineth Technical Deep Dive, Session 2. Today’s focus: hands-on walkthrough of the production-grade ZK rollup stack. Architecture → tracer → coordinator → prover → L1 contracts → local setup → contributions. 🔗Join here: https://lnkd.in/gHfrr-hG

After a successful first overview of Lineth, we’re excited to go deeper with Lineth Technical Deep Dive, Session 2: Hands-on Workshop. This 2-hour session is designed for developers, contributors and ecosystem teams who want to understand how the production-grade ZK rollup stack works in practice. We’ll cover architecture, the ZK rollup lifecycle, prover, coordinator, smart contracts, local development setup and contribution workflow — with codebase walkthroughs and live demos from domain leads. 📅 July 8, 2026 🕒 [9:00am ET / 3:00pm CEST] 🔗 Register: https://lnkd.in/gHfrr-hG Julien Marchand Moris Iarossi Grant S.Ivo Kubjas

Season 1 of Linea Insights wraps up with one key question: What makes the move to RISC-V so important? For this final episode, we sat down with Olivier Bégassat, our Arithmetization Lead, to revisit the main takeaways from the season and unpack what this transition changes in practice. Across 12 episodes, we explored: → why this shift matters now → what RISC-V brings in terms of simplicity, compatibility, and security → what changes for teams currently building on a zkEVM → the performance gains we can expect → and the broader architectural choices shaping the next generation of ZK proofs This series was an opportunity to make some of the most complex topics our arithmetization team works on more visible and accessible. A huge thank you to Olivier for sharing his expertise throughout the season. Next up: gnark with Youssef EL HOUSNI, our open-source zero-knowledge library written in Go, used by several projects across the ecosystem. In the meantime, you can find all the videos from Season 1 below: https://lnkd.in/gyc9a6_c
