Linea outlines its approach to maintaining Ethereum equivalence through four key pillars:

  • Direct EVM arithmetization delivering 3x better performance without zkVM
  • Vortex, a custom STARK-based prover enabling near real-time proofs
  • Full upgrade parity with Ethereum by September (Prague/Electra support)
  • Ethereum-aligned tokenomics with 20% of gas revenue burning ETH

The L2 solution aims to prevent ecosystem fragmentation while preserving Ethereum's role as a unified execution platform.​ Developers benefit from seamless deployment without rewrites or additional audits.​

Ethereum wasn’t built just for scale; it was built to be open, neutral, and decentralized. As L2s take on more of Ethereum’s load, they must reinforce values and remain aligned with Etheruem. Linea does this by design. No new gas token. No EVM rewrites. No governance structures
