Consensys’s Linea network (@Linea.eth ) is rapidly gaining big-league adoption. In Sept. 2025 SWIFT announced a blockchain pilot on Linea – working with Consensys and 30+ banks (BNP Paribas, BNY Mellon, etc.) on an on-chain messaging and stablecoin settlement system. ConsenSys confirms it’s prototyping SWIFT’s shared digital ledger on Linea, marking one of the first major institutional pilots.
Enterprises are also deploying capital into Linea. Nasdaq-listed gaming firm SharpLink (SBET) said in Oct. 2025 it will allocate $200M of ETH to Linea over multiple years via Anchorage custody, using ether.fi staking and EigenLayer’s EigenCloud restaking to earn yield. SharpLink emphasizes that Linea’s zkEVM gives “faster settlement, lower fees and composability” – prerequisites for “institutional workflows”. (The plan is phased, risk-managed and overseen by Anchorage under traditional corporate controls.) SharpLink even outlined a roadmap with ConsenSys to co-develop on-chain capital-markets “primitives” on Linea (e.g. tokenized equity and programmable liquidity tools) as future projects.
Linea’s ecosystem tools also target enterprise needs. Chainlink oracle services are live on Linea – Data Feeds went live in Oct 2023, with CCIP and Data Streams following in 2024–25 – enabling reliable market data and cross-chain connectivity. Linea is fully EVM‑compatible and built by Consensys (maker of MetaMask and Infura), meaning existing DeFi/NFT dapps and wallets plug in seamlessly. The official Linea site touts “enterprise-grade infrastructure for global finance,” built for tokenization, payments, trading and settlement and backed by Consensys’s experience with banks like Mastercard and JP Morgan.
Looking ahead, Linea’s roadmap includes enterprise‑oriented features (e.g. allowing gas payments in stablecoins/ERC‑20 tokens and sub‑second blocks) and an ecosystem of stewards to support growth. These partnerships and pilots – from SWIFT’s payments trial to SharpLink’s treasury deployment – show #Linea emerging as an institutional-grade L2. The native $LINEA token was launched alongside this push, and such enterprise use-cases help drive real demand and integration for the Linea ecosystem.
