@Linea.eth is a Layer-2 zkEVM rollup built to scale Ethereum while preserving EVM equivalence and developer/tooling compatibility. It positions itself as an “Ethereum-equivalent” zkEVM that batches transactions off-chain, produces zero-knowledge proofs, and posts those proofs to Ethereum to inherit L1 settlement security while delivering lower fees and faster finality. Linea’s official site and hub remain the primary sources for developer docs, bridge instructions, and the app/dApp directory.
Network activity and performance (latest measurable metrics)
Linea exposes on-chain metrics through LineaScan and public trackers. Daily transaction charts, block and address activity, and historic highs/lows are viewable on LineaScan; it shows that the network has reached multi-million daily transaction peaks in past growth periods and continues to register significant daily usage. Independent trackers such as L2BEAT and Token Terminal also publish TVS/TVL breakdowns and active-address metrics for Linea. These sources are the best places to get time-series charts for transactions/day, new addresses, and block times.
Total value locked (TVL) and economic activity
Public sources report that Linea’s DeFi TVL surpassed notable thresholds during 2025 — with multiple tracker snapshots and news pieces tying TVL increases to liquidity incentive programs. L2BEAT maintains a TVS/TVL breakdown for Linea (timestamped listings show values and token-category breakdowns), and industry articles reported TVL surges following Linea incentive initiatives (for example, coverage noting TVL passing ~$1.2B during periods of intensive liquidity programs). For exact, up-to-the-minute TVL, consult L2BEAT or the Linea Hub TVL dashboard.
Token (LINEA) price, supply and tokenomics snapshot
There is a tradable token with ticker LINEA listed on major price aggregators and exchanges. Live price, 24-hour volume, market cap, circulating supply and max supply are published on CoinMarketCap, CoinGecko and exchange price pages; recent snapshots show LINEA trading in the low-cent range (examples: ~$0.01 to $0.02 depending on the snapshot) with large total and max supply figures visible on the aggregator pages. Detailed tokenomics (allocation, emission schedule, unlock dates) are published on tokenomics trackers and on industry writeups; there were scheduled unlocks and programmatic distributions in 2025 that influenced circulating supply. For financial decisions, use a price aggregator or exchange orderbook for the latest quotes.
Prover network, finality and security posture
Linea emphasises a high-performance prover network and zk proof generation as central to its performance and security claims. Recent coverage highlights significant prover capacity and short proof times (reporting tens of thousands of prover nodes and proof times measured in seconds during 2025 testing/rollouts). Linea’s contracts and bridge design are promoted as having minimal or no admin keys in production (the project positions upgrades as requiring hard-fork-level governance similar to L1 upgrades), which it argues increases trust by reducing privileged upgrade paths. The official docs and engineering blog posts explain the architecture, prover design, and security model in depth. For security audits, explorer contract verifications and published audit reports are the authoritative sources.
Bridges, onboarding and user flows
Linea offers a native bridge (documented in the Linea docs and Hub) and is supported by third-party bridge and routing services (Orbiter, Rango, Symbiosis, etc.). The documentation includes instructions for token issuers to deploy bridged token contracts, and multiple walkthroughs exist showing how end users and projects can bridge assets to/from Linea with minimal friction. Wallet integration is broad: major Ethereum wallets expose Linea as a supported network or can be configured to connect, making the UX for end users close to standard Ethereum wallet flows.
Ecosystem programs, incentives and partnerships
Linea has run and publicised growth and incentive programs such as “Ignition” and “Exponent” to bootstrap liquidity and app growth. These incentive programs have been covered in ecosystem news and on Linea’s Hub, and were cited by media when TVL or user metrics rose following campaign launches. There have also been notable partnership/market events reported in late 2025 — exchange listings (examples include INDODAX) and corporate/treasury allocations or pilot partnerships reported in finance press. For the latest events, Linea’s official announcements and the project’s social/X feed provide a chronological log.
Major dApps, DeFi projects and live integrations
Linea’s Hub lists trending dApps, DeFi protocols, games and NFT platforms that operate on the network. Many popular Ethereum dApps and new projects either deployed L2 versions or integrated bridges to access Linea liquidity and users; these include wallets, AMMs, lending protocols, and marketplaces. For a full, current catalog of live integrations, the Linea Hub (app directory) and LineaScan token/dApp pages are the primary reference points.
Operational notes for developers and operators
Linea advertises EVM compatibility and claims that developers can reuse existing toolchains, smart contract code and debugging workflows. The developer documentation includes guides for deploying contracts, registering apps on the Hub, joining incentive programs, and configuring token bridges. There are also resources for enterprise integration and for teams that want to deploy canonical or custom bridged tokens. If you plan to deploy or migrate, the developer docs plus verified example contracts on LineaScan are essential reading.
Where to watch for updates (live sources)
For continually updated, authoritative data, consult: the Linea official site/hub for announcements and docs; LineaScan for on-chain charts (transactions/day, new addresses, blocks); L2BEAT for TVS/TVL and comparative L2 analysis; price aggregators (CoinMarketCap / CoinGecko) for live market data on LINEA token; and major exchanges or finance outlets for news on listings or partnerships. Social channels (Linea’s X/Twitter) are used for real-time announcements.
Caveats and how exact numbers change quickly
Blockchain network metrics (DAU, TVL, transactions/day, token price, circulating supply after unlocks) are time-sensitive. My summary points to where up-to-date numbers are published, but snapshots quoted in media or aggregator pages will vary minute-to-minute. For precise current values (e.g., exact TVL at this second, live token price, or most recent daily active addresses), use L2BEAT/Lineascan and an exchange/aggregator API.
If you want, I can now do one of the following immediately (pick one — I will fetch it and include all source links and a brief interpretation):
1. Pull live numeric snapshots (current TVL, 24h transactions, DAU, token price and circulating supply) and present them in a compact table with sources.
2. Produce a dated timeline of Linea’s major events and announcements (mainnet launch milestones, prover network rollouts, incentive programs, exchange listings, big partnerships) with sources.
3. Create a short, non-technical one-page explainer (for users or a landing page) that distills what Linea provides and how to get started bridging and using dApps.
