Linea

tip

Available for Premium users only.

Linea API is available on Web3 API platform.

Linea is a network that scales the experience of Ethereum. Its out-of-the-box compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine enables the deployment of already-existing applications, as well as the creation of new ones that would be too costly on Mainnet. It also enables the community to use those dapps, at a fraction of the cost, and at multiples the speed of Mainnet.

It does this by leveraging quantum-resistant lattice-based cryptography to create zero-knowledge proofs that include every transaction performed on the network, and rolling them up to Mainnet. This ensures that every transaction is recorded to the Ethereum ledger while dividing the cost of that security by magnitudes.

In order for your Web3 application to interact with Linea — either by reading blockchain data or sending transactions to the network — it must connect to a Linea node. Developers interact with the blockchain using the methods provided by the API.

The API interaction follows the JSON-RPC which is a stateless, light-weight remote procedure call (RPC) protocol. It defines several data structures and the rules around their processing. It is transport agnostic in that the concepts can be used within the same process, over sockets, over HTTP, or in other message-passing environments. It uses JSON (RFC 4627) as data format.
