## Content

ConsenSys open-sourced the Linea Stack under Apache-2.0/MIT licensing and its control to the Linux Foundation Decentralized Trust under a new name, Lineth. Lineth covers the full L2 pipeline, EVM-equivalent execution built on Besu, the Maru consensus client, a ZK proving stack using gnark, and onchain Ethereum contracts for proof verification and bridging. Anyone can now use Lineth to deploy a production-grade ZK rollup. Linea Mainnet remains under Consensys control and is targeting Stage 1 decentralization this month, a RISC-V prover transition in Q3, and real-time proving by the end of the year. Linea holds over $450 million in value secured.Disclaimer: Content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute financial, investment, legal, or other professional advice.
