Linea

Consensys announced Sovereign Network Interoperability, an offering it says lets institutions settle securities, exchange currencies and post collateral across ledgers without bridges or moving assets onto a shared network. In a follow-up posted on Linea's X account, Consensys called it the culmination of a decade of building tools such as Besu and Linea, plus research on performance, zero-knowledge proofs and security.

The company says the framework connects institutions to one another with the privacy, confidentiality and sovereignty they require, backed by the reliability of the full stack — Ethereum, Linea and Besu — which it describes as a credible neutral infrastructure stack for the tokenized economy.

Linea is exiting the affected validators supporting its Yield Boost vault as a precaution following the MetaMask Staking security incident. In an update posted on X, Linea said the funds and control of the staking vault itself are unaffected and that the impact is temporary.

• MetaMask began exiting affected Ethereum validators after a security incident diverted an estimated 0.36 ETH in block-production payments; the company said there was no immediate threat to user wallets.
• Linea's vault validators are part of the same non-custodial staking operations being wound down in coordination with partners and security advisors.
• Linea did not state a timeline for when the affected validators will finish exiting or when Yield Boost service resumes.

Linea announced it is now part of the newly formed Consensys, combining its scaling technology with Consensys' institutional reach. The move gives Linea greater focus, stronger resources, and broader reach, positioning the team to serve institutions, accelerate Ethereum adoption, and build the infrastructure for global digital markets.

• Linea says its commitment to its community, builders, and partners remains unchanged.
• The company emphasized that its roadmap continues and its ambition to shape the future of digital markets grows.

Linea is progressing the next phase of its Yield Boost program, increasing the share of funds allocated to ETH staking from 10% toward a 60% target. ETH deposits are set to begin entering Ethereum's validator activation queue today.
