Consensys' Linea joins Linux Foundation, open-sources ZK-rollup tech

Linea (LINEA), the zkEVM Layer 2 network from Ethereum infrastructure developer Consensys, has joined the Linux Foundation Decentralized Trust (LFDT) and open-sourced its core ZK-rollup technology. According to Cointelegraph, this move places Linea's core technology under the LFDT's open-source governance framework rather than under the control of a single company. However, the Linea team will retain control over key network functions, including the sequencer, prover, upgrade authority, and validator participation structure.
