Linea

Linea is now part of the newly formed Consensys – combining our scaling technology with Consensys’ institutional reach. Together, we are better positioned to serve institutions, accelerate Ethereum adoption, and build the infrastructure for global digital markets. This next chapter gives Linea greater focus, stronger resources, and broader reach – while keeping our commitment to our community, builders, and partners unchanged. Our roadmap continues. Our ambition to shape the future of digital markets grows stronger. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/ekyjd6yt

Linea Insights Season 2, Episode 9 "What's the feedback from users?" gnark’s community helps shape the library through code, technical discussions, and security research. From Ingonyama’s GPU work to Binance’s trusted setup and Reilabs’ formal verification, open source isn’t just a license, it’s a true development model.

Tomorrow, we’re hosting our first Lineth community call. Curious about what we’re building? Join us to ask any questions you may have and share your thoughts. This will be an interactive Zoom session and we’d love to see you there! 🗓️ 3 September at 4pm CET 🔗 https://lnkd.in/ep6tqyVK

Linea Insights Season 2, Episode 8 "Why should developers use gnark?" Zero-knowledge proof development has traditionally required specialized knowledge of domain-specific languages and custom toolchains. gnark takes a different approach. Built entirely in Go, gnark allows developers to write zero-knowledge circuits using a mainstream programming language with a mature ecosystem. Developers benefit from standard tooling: IDE support, unit testing, benchmarking, debugging, and continuous integration, all using familiar Go workflows. This design choice significantly lowers the barrier to entry for teams looking to integrate zero-knowledge proofs into their applications. There is no custom language to learn, no specialized compiler to manage, and no separate toolchain to maintain. gnark provides a high-level API for circuit design, support for multiple proof systems (Groth16, PLONK, FRI, and GKR), and a full cryptographic stack via gnark-crypto. The library is released under the Apache License 2.0 and is battle-tested in production by Linea. For engineering teams evaluating zero-knowledge integration, gnark’s Go-native approach means faster onboarding, easier code reviews, and seamless integration with existing Go-based infrastructure.

Linea Insights Season 2, Episode 7 "How does gnark compare to other libraries?" "We built gnark from scratch to have no external dependencies and to have the freedom to experiment with new ideas and new experimentations fast." Youssef EL HOUSNI

Meet Roman Vaseev, one of our engineers at Consensys & Linea. Roman works on Lineth across: the Coordinator that sequences transactions and orchestrates proving, Maru the consensus client, the rollup guest programs, and some of the Lineth Besu plugins that tie the stack to the client underneath it. In this Developer Showcase interview he explains what it means to build Lineth in the open within the LF Decentralized Trust community. https://lnkd.in/eQHd_5vb

Linea Insights Season 2, Episode 6 "Why is gnark so performant?" "It’s not always about the language only but also about the algorithms being implemented" Youssef EL HOUSNI

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. ↓
